I havent posted one of these on here yet, so i hope it works out ok.

This was Austin and April playing with the sprinkler last week.

ON HIS OWN!!!

Thismorning, Austin was clutching at me, trying to drag me off somewhere. I followed him down to the bathroom, expecting him to want his toothbrush and toothpaste (this is normally what he wants in there) but he didnt. He walked straight up to the shower and tried to open the door... Me being the accomodating mummy that i am, opened it for him and he tried to climb in... clothes and all.

I undressed him and popped him in... He spent a good 10 minutes in there laughing his head off.

This is a huge deal for us... Before he was too scared to even stand in there with me or shannon, we had to be holding him, but now, he seems to be fine. This is a huge weight off my mind. Our new house doesnt have a bath and i was worried about how i was going to wash him, coz it is so difficult with him now that he is about the weight of a small truck lol.

Hi everyone.

I thought id take 5 mins and write a blog. It has been a while since i wrote anything interesting... not that im saying this one will be either lol.

Austin has been good... uh, wait, no... iM lying, he has been a right little shitbag!!! Damn these temper tantrums! Why oh why do they carry on over every little tiny insignificant thing? Like for instance, brekkie thismorning. I sat him in his highchair, gave him one spoonful of his weetbix... and then it began. Screaming, kicking, smacking the table, throwing the spoon, screaming some more... you get the point... I ended up having to time out him, just so that he would settle down. Bring him back out 5 mins later and try again... realy repetative story short, it took me an hour to give him brekkie...

THEN OMG you should see the state of my living room!!!!!! i recon half of his toys are on the floor and he probably only played with 1... my money tin has been emptied and sprawed across the floor... yep, mummy will pick it up later... All my folded clothes.. conveniently unfolded.. Toast that he thought he wanted.. fed to the dog... arrrgh!!!

On the flip side of this thing i call my son... haha... He is SOOO CLEVER!!! I swear i write this in every blog, but i am just so proud of him and all he can do. He can now say and point to his nose, eye, ear and mouth (cant say mouth yet). He is trying very hard to feed himself with a fork and spoon, and he is mostly successful. Just sometimes if the food is too runny, he cant get any on the spoon (which then creates what i have written above) He has learnt alot of actions to nursery rhymes.. and yet he still prefers heavy metal!! He claps and shakes hands, hi 5's and plays peek-a-boo behind his hands. Oh i could go on...

Moving on to our house.... all contract have been signed and exchanged... now we wait... til the 15th January... thats when we settle and can move in. I was so excited at the beginning of this process.. now i am sort of just wanting it all to be over, i know i know... 30 years time and it will all be over lol

Anyway, i better get moving, i have to go to work now.

I will try to post some pics up later on. This stupid uploader gives me errors every time i try lately.

Hope everyone is all good and all ready to go for christmas!!!!

Cass xoxoxox

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!

The sold sign went up on our soon to be first house yesterday!!! I am so excited!!

Our settlement date is the 15th January. I am happy with that, coz they wanted early settlement, and if we did that, we would be settling 6 days before christmas. It would have been exhausting trying to move then, plus with my work going absolutely nutso at the moment! lol.

Anyway, everything else is great, Austin is going great guns, he learns a new word every other day. He is so clever. It amazes me that he came from me HAHAHa!!

Anyway i gotta go get my little lion out of bed, he is in there going Raaahhh at his toys PMSL!!!

XOXOXOXOX

1. Whats the main thing on minti that make you so addicted?
I originally got addicted to minti because i loved all the help i got from people who had gone thru or who were going thru what i was. But now, i just love everything. I love reading friends blogs and seeing the new pics getting posted. Unfortunately i dont get alot of time these days, so i generally miss out on alot now :(

2. whats something funny thats happened to you recently?
haha. Nothing. All i have done is worked lately.

3. whats a word you kid/s say/said thats pronounces funny / cute?
Austin just learnt how to say Lara (my girlfriend's new born baby) over the weekend. It comes out Rawa thou, and he says it soooo softly, unlike everything else he says, coz i was trying to teach him to be quiet (ish) while we were there.

4. if you could be someone famous for a day who would it be and why?
I would want to be PINK!!! She is just unbelieveable. I love her voice, her performances are incredible and OMG, she is just smokin hot!! lol
