1. After being told for the last year that there was more than likely not going to be a mid-year intake for Reception 2008 - I got a letter in the mail on Tuesday saying that there WILL be a Reception class, and will you please confirm Mop's placement. WILL I EVER!!! That girl has been aching to get to school forever, and I have been too!!
I spoke to her pre-school teachers, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"She is more than ready" they said and went on to explain that socially she is up there with the kids her age and intelectually she is fine. They had run out of materials for her to use. So they were as excited as I was. They are excellent teachers and I hope E gets them when he goes there in a year or two. (When he can handle being left places)
2.
This handsome couple is my brother Steve and his partner in crime - Jasmine. I got an SMS this morning saying "She said yes!" - WOOHOO!! He proposed this morning and she accepted. Jasmine is a wonderful girl and I think he has impeccable taste. She's a good friend, and so much fun to be with. She will fit into our family perfectly. She already cheeks my Dad! :) They are going on a cruise - they left for Sydney today, so I haven't seen the rock yet, but when they get back I'll have a drool.
Jasmine has a little girl from a previous relationship, and I get and instant niece. She is a delightful little girl, and Mop just loves her. They get along so well. Mop has loved her since Molly was born!! Mum is excited that she has another little girl to love as a Nanny.
3. After what seems an age of being under-appreciated and struggling to get anywhere career-wise, Daz handed his resignantion in yesterday and accepted another offer of a job in a bigger and hopefully better company. It's exciting stuff - and a bit terrifying all at once!
4. Milly-Moo, my delight, laughed at me yesterday. Her first ever laugh! She has been smiling since 6 days old, and talking not much after then. But yesterday she let out a chuckle when we were clapping hands.
She is such a delight to us. She is so easy going (unless someone's annoying her - or she's hungry, then she exhibits her Skip-like-feistiness) and she is so good-natured. She sits back and plays contentedly while the rest of the family move around her. She only cries when she is hungry or tired. She makes us all very happy.
She started sleeping right through the night a few weeks ago, so I am a very well rested Mama! :) I am SOOOOO lucky!!
PSSST... I know I said no more... but she makes me so clucky for another baby!!
5. I am continuing to lose weight. Check out my motivation poster I made myself.
I bought some new clothes today because I am sick of my pants falling down!! I am feeling good, and when I firm up my tummy and butt and legs, I'll look alot better!!
See what I mean it has been a fabulous week??
Other family news:
E is talking more and more, and hasn't screamed at all for ages. He's really different when he is on his own - when Mop is at school. He plays quietly and happily on his own, he likes his own company and potters about entertaining himself. I barely know he's here when Mop isn't making him yell by torturing him as big sisters do.
Mop is a real little Miss. I don't know whether to yell at her or laugh at her at times. She is pretty feisty and mouthy - I shake my head at times and wonder where on earth she gets it from. ;)
I've been doing a bit of scrapping and am very happy with some of the stuff I have done.
Signing off now... with a huge smile on my face.
