We had dinner at our usual Indian restaurant tonight and instead of usually having it takeaway we thought we would dine in for a change.
Lucas knows the place well and says hello to the owner and today he called it "the place that gives big crackers" meaning the popadoms they serve before your meal.
We were reading over the menus and Lucas had a one too. We were taking some time as to what to order and he turned to me holding up his menu and said "I want rice" and closed his menu so that was his order taken care of!
It doesn't take a three-and-a-half year old long to decide what he wants to eat!

November already!
November already...and Elsa is now walking. Two weeks before she turns one! There was some debate as to when she would start walking and I thought it would be just before she turns one and she's proven me correct.
With walking comes a whole new set of pros and cons such as when Elsa misjudged how close she was to the door frame and managed to hit the side of her head into it as she fell onto her hands from standing up. Elsa certainly can get about to any place she wants to in the house and this also includes getting into Lucas' space which he is not happy about. Today he played in his room with the door closed so that his little sister could not bother him. Poor wee sod, and this is only the start!

Time flying by...
Elsa is nearly 11 months old and soon she will be one.
She is growing so fast right before our eyes and to date she has two bottom teeth so far, can stand up from sitting down, cruises furniture without a sweat and monkey crawls if she wants to get to somewhere quickly. Lucas says she looks like a spider walking when she does this crawl!
Being so mobile also means she wants to participate in whatever Lucas is doing or playing and this often ends in tears with Lucas shouting "Noooooo Elsa" and Elsa having no idea what the commotion is about! Quite a few times Lucas has resorted to playing up at the dinning table just so Elsa's little hands and body doesn't destroy whatever he's playing with.
However, despite this the two of them adore each other. Elsa thinks Lucas is the best thing since sliced bread and Lucas fondly calls Elsa "my baby". It is so neat to watch them giggle and play together and see their sibling relationship grow and development. It definitely makes all the hard work worth it.
