Nearly June...
It makes me a bit sad that I haven't posted anything since November last year especially as the kids are growing at lightening speed and I have made a deal with myself that I will post something hopefully at least once a month, if not every two months.
So the biggest milestones since November 2009 is that Lucas turned 4 on the 11th April 2010 and Elsa is saying more and more words each day.
Lucas the birthday boy
Lucas had his 4th birthday party at Chipmunks which was his request and we were more than happy to accommodate him as it meant minimum stress for mummy and daddy! Lucas had a blast with his friends who came along and they had a great time playing and he got spoilt rotten with awesome birthday presents! I made Lucas' birthday cake which was my input for his b'day and that was a success. I have to admit this was the most stress free birthday party so far!
Elsa the talking machine
Having a boy and a girl I have noticed just how much faster girls develop. From moving to talking. Elsa is talking up a storm and can even say two to three worded sentences from "I want it" to "what's that?".
Her words so far are: mummy, daddy, Kali, doggie, baby, dolly, ball, car, truck, that, mine, poo, bye bye, yes, no, hot, cat, meow, woof woof, Co (for her cousin Cohen), nana, papa and today she said cake which is a first!
I just love watching her grow and develop and she understands so much which still amazes me.

Indian for dinner
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!
