hello...

Life is just moving way too quickly.


Mika is growing up and really starting to work other kids out. She has a heart of gold that girl and will tolerate most of what other kids can dish out, but i have now seen her lose the plot and almost rip another friend apart for the first time. This was also after they had spent 3 days and two LATE nights together.


I saw the prob unravelling, Tamika is picking flowers for me as i watch out my kitchen window, friend intentionally knocks them out of her hands. Tamika comes in upset telling me what happened, friend follows her in and tells me Tamika was hitting her! Tamika saw red and yelled so ferociously back at her about lying. She stormed to her room and told me friend was not allowed in her room. What do you do, i saw the friend being totally out of line, but she was due to go home any minute. I don't believe in the 'so and so' can't go in my room at any time, and this was no exception, but friend decided to go out side with the boys! Dad arrives and kids slip off home, Tamika then balls her eyes out at me for not getting to say goodbye! Who can work out 6 year olds hey!


As for Jarry, he's cruising along. Loves computer games atm, considering he isn't into tv at all, it's not that bad. His soccer is going great guns and he has learnt some good little lessons too. The first few games were all about goals, for all the kids. Then the kids all started stripping the ball off their own team mates and scoring goals. Jared having size on his side managed to perfect this technique and scored 6 of the 10 goals in one game. After about the 4th time he steals the ball just before the goal Ian and i are getting embarrassed. By the end of the game he got in trouble from the coach and was made to apologise for his last steal to the player involved. Since then he has been a perfect team mate and not done it since (and still scoring goals). So we are very happy and proud he has taken the advice on board. Don't forget we are talking under 5's, lol, but they do have one rockin little team.


Now devilchild, ooops i mean Goldenchild:). Wow she is almost 18 months and has definitely hit the toddler tantrums (something actually quite new to me) and warming up well and truly for the terrible two's. Nah, she's not that bad, i think i just forget, but she is so into everything and nothing is off limits to her. You know when she is ready for bed as she goes from one naughty thing to another. It's great having the older two, they do most my dirty work now, 'get the remote of Tah's or get Tahlia down from the table', they love being bossy and i don't get the screaming at me, lol!


Took some cute pics today of Tahlia with little pig tails that made her look like an alien, a pretty one though. I was too efficient with packing up and put the cable thing away in the bedroom so will try and upload soon.
