Little MicroMe has long gotten over his naughty little bug infestation, and Daddy caught him and held him down long enough to lop off some of his mop of curls too. He has been through a growth spurt, as you can see by his chubby face his picture with his Ducati (he got up to watch Casey Stoner in the GP), he knows about Ducati's Honda's Suzuki's and who rides what ; ) UncleDrew bought him a little toy red Ducati at the supermarket, and he is very proud of it.

MicroMe has learned about 'breaking water' as in the cold weather the bird feeder has iced over and he loves to throw the chunks of ice on the ground and watch them break. He has been a little disrespectful of his books and toys lately, a bit of ripping and rampaging has been going on. He also had a couple of weeks off from the gym due to illness and lack of transport; I was very disappointed last week when he hung off my leg and didn't want to do the class. I even jumped on and did Kata with the kids at the beginning of the class, with him hanging off my body, however he wouldn't let me go.

Thursday week ago was NannaSylv's birthday, and he was VERY excited about it all. We all wrapped up presents and wrote cards and surprised Nanna in the morning. The BIGGEST surprise was that MaxiMe got out of bed early and made Nanna an omelet for her breakfast. Later that night MaxiMe picked up an ice-cream cake from Annies Ice-cream Parlour, it was so yummy! It had 3 flavours and they decorated it beautifully, everyone had extra helpings. We also booked Nanna in for a massage on the Saturday, so when we were all out for the day, PapaPete gave her the gift voucher as a surprise. Nanna had meant to get lots of chores done, however she had to go and relax instead, (oh dear, poor Nanna).

We got our target (car) back on Friday night last week, just in time for me to take it on the 2hour drive to Penrith for rugby the next day. MicroMe came down and went to the bike shops with MaxiMe and UncleDrew, he was so excited, he had a great day. I can't imagine that theirs was very productive, though UncleDrew was gibbering and very happy after taking the lastest Blade for a test ride. In the meantime, we beat Penrith 60-0 and had a relaxing time at the pub afterwards ; ) We are still undefeated this year, and no points have been scored against us, so it is worth the trip, though I brought a lot of new bruises home with me. Later that night when we got home and MicroMe was settled in bed, we went out to a party... It was FREEZING, we were in a nice garage with a few heaters and a gas burner thing, and lots of alcoholic refreshment and silliness, but not enough to heat us through; winter is really here.

Poor MaxiMe has had flu-like symptoms for a few weeks, and for the past fortnight he has had tonsillitis and has been pretty sick. Drew and I went to kickboxing on Tuesday, and MaxiMe just came and did some weights and took it pretty easy. We did sparring afterwards, and it was really fun in the ring! I convinced Angela to come and spar and she whacked my bruised eye from rugby, which was a yellowy green, and turned it into bright purple and black LOL! It looks sort of like Egyptian style, and I didn't notice it until the next morning, when I was trying to wash it off. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, and I am keen for a private sparring lesson for one of my birthday presents... If MaxiMe remembers, he was well under the influence when I got him to agree on Friday night.
MicroMe is usually a very good boy, though his general attitude has been a bit out of sorts lately, he is living with 5 adults and pushing everyone's buttons and seeing who will let him away with things, (who wouldn't?). I sat down and had a chat with him about being a good boy and how important it is to use good manners and to respect his belongings, and use the potty/toilet consistently. On Thursday I finished knitting his scarf, and he is very proud of his Mumma's limited skilled creation ; ) He helped me tidy his room and do chores about the house, though it was so cold when I hung the laundry, he abandoned his bike, bolted inside and left me out in the cold alone!

We have now created the "SUPER STAR STICKER BOOK" which is MicroMe's little reward/diary book. It is better than having a chart, as we take it everywhere we go, and it means that he can have instant rewards for extra good behaviour ALL the time. Barney Bear also popped on a Bob The Builder T-shirt and accompanied us to the gym to watch MicroMe training and decide whether or not he worked hard enough to earn a sticker. Not only did he train hard, he played very nicely afterwards and earned 2 stickers. He also shared stickers with some of his little friends, while I cosied up on the couch by the fire and watched him do his thing.

On Friday we also went to NannaSylv's work and he helped Nanna hand out little posies of Daphne to her colleagues. He came into my work and he was very well behaved and got to have a cookie for his troubles. At the supermarket he was exemplary; he sat in the trolley for me for the first time in a year, and even when he pushed the trolley, he didn't try to run anyone over, (including me). He got to have a ride on the little merry go round and he was very happy to bump into some people from the gym that he knows. Once again we took the sticker book and Barney Bear watched MicroMe... Who was a little slow to get out there, however when he realised that Barney Bear was waiting for him to go and train, he couldn't get out there fast enough.
After kickboxing on Friday night, we headed out to a big bonfire out of town in this big field. It was a freezing night, but the fire was warm and this time the refreshments did the trick! It was good fun hanging around the fire, though we got home very late and yesterday was a bit of a bust! (Oops). Now we are waiting for MicroMe to wake up from his little sleep, as we have promised him a trip down to the park for being such a good boy. His little sticker book is getting very full, and everyone is having turns writing in it and helping him draw in it. There has been a small hiccup when a page got ripped, however we are hoping that ripping book pages is now a thing of the past ; )

Re: Books; Black Eyes; Bonfires.
Yes, we were all glad that they were gone, as everyone changed all their linen etc as a precaution as the midget likes to jump in everyone's beds for snuggles. It was a heck of a lot of washing, and all his stuff... LOL!
He was so adamant that he wanted to go to the gym, that is the annoying part, he is a bit stubborn sometimes ; )
I think NannaSylv had a very nice birthday, and we had fun making it special for her.
Yeah rugby is fun, I must get back to my coach (thanks for the reminder), there is no way I am going near Sydney this weekend (World Youth Day), I will have to confirm that.
My eye is good, his curls are still there, he either has his beanie or his bike helmet on most of the time, so they are squashed in the pictures. Not such terrible two's we both have very little patience, however this is making us both work hard to think of ways to earn more stickers x0x0x

Re: Books; Black Eyes; Bonfires.
Hey mum look at this face of mine ( top right hand photo), how could i ever be acting out of sorts...hehe! The Super Star Book seems to working like a treat, what a great idea.
So hope MaxiMe recovers soon, he sure has been in the wars lately. Nana Sylv, belated bithday wishes, would have loved to be there to share in second helpings, it sure looked yummy! I bet she enjoyed her birthday pressie a massage.
Car back yippeee! Dear Lui that was not a beating of the other team, that was a thrashing, gee couldn't you at least have let them score just once hehe!
Love all the photo's, the one with Jaydee's new scarf ( mummy made), I could just eat him....and the one with you both in the snow, can i come and play with too.
Lots of love JJ xxxx
P.S. Take care of your black eye. We recieved a lovely surprise in the mail on friday, that was just so thoughtful, meant so much, thanks gorgeous lady.

Re: Books; Black Eyes; Bonfires.
I know, doesn't he look adorable when he is asleep... If only he slept more! The book is great fun, I don't know who loves it more, me or him.
MaxiMe better recover soon, he is getting really frustrated (and frustrating) not training every day. He has had a couple of doses of antibiotics, and a visit to the naturopath, and I am stuffing him with fresh fruit for brekkie and tons of fresh veges with his dinner. He is also taking vitamins, and I try to give him as much TLC as possible, however I am really not that nursey type... Oooh there's an idea, maybe a nurse uniform would perk him up?!?! ; )
I love his photos too, I will never keep up with Thuy in the photo department, but we do love our wee photo sessions... He took some lovely ones of my boots and me bending down saying, 'are you sure I am in the picture?'
The black eye looks grand, it didn't swell at all, just a lot of colour. You got a surprise, what a surprise, I am surprised that you were surprised... LOL xox
