Elsa
A lot has happened since my last written blog. A brief summary is that Elsa got her cast removed and plate and pins taken out in January 2011. A huge relief for all of us. She was up and walking by the second day and has just gone in leaps and bounds in terms of her physical development. She's very physical and loves to rough and tumble and is a real climber. Hence the reason for enrolling her into Jumping Beans and now North Harbour Gymnastics. She is a real spit fire and has no problems standing up for herself and defending herself! She definitely hit the terrible two's before she turned two and this year has been quite a challenge as she is just so different to Lucas in terms of behaviour and will full-ness! Today she has moved from cot to a big girls bed so she is definitely growing fast.
Lucas
My little man turned 5 in April and has started school at Bayview Primary School. We couldn't be happier with our choice in school as it has an awesome community feels and Lucas just LOVES school. This has been a huge relief for us as his father hated school from day one as he was told school was "just like Kindy but longer and bigger" so he went into school thinking all you did was play all day. What a rude shock he got and hence, his hate for school from that day forth. So we were very conscientious that Lucas was well prepared for school and his daycare had a huge influence in this. We couldn't thank his daycare enough for the preparation they do with the kids with the lead up to school. Lucas comes home and reads his books and sits down studiously writing and drawing. It's a joy to watch and we are very proud of him.
