Achievements and celebrations

Yesterday Finn gave Mikko a kiss. Finn doesn't really try to interact with Mikko usually. I think he just knows he won't get much back so doesn't bother. But anyway he gave Mikko a kiss and Mikko's face just lit up! Then Mikko proceeded to lean in and plant about 5 big kisses in a row on Finn Was so cute and nice!

Thats so cool

Awww that is so cool Jess

After leaving Josh at Kindy ( he goes every morning 8.45 -11.45) he got his teacher and got his ( well one of many!!) fave books "The little yellow digger" anyways, his Teacher read it to him, after she finished reading to him he grabbed her hand, took her to the car box picked out a yellow bulldozer then took his teacher to the craft table got some paper put the bulldozer over one corner, then picked out a yellow crayon and drew the yellow digger. His Teacher praised him for getting the bulldozer then drawing it all in yellow, Josh then got all excited had a big grin and clapped!!

that's awesome! way to go Josh!

Just wanted to share my DD's "achievement"

Her school/class had a production tonight - about 20ish minutes long - involving about 3-4 songs and a short play - this is 5-6 year olds. I didn't think that she would participate in it. But there she was - singing and dancing with the rest of the class - and you could tell her voice too - it was quite loud she was quite into it! Only part was that she kept lifting her skirt up and showing the world her underwear she will be wearing tights for tomorrow's shows

I filmed it on my phone, and I'll try uploading it so you can all see

I was soooooooo proud of her

Ian has just started answering questions about "where is?". Up until now if you'd asked him where he's put the sky remote he wouldn't know; tonight he knew, answered and was right! He then told his father that George was in his room when Thomas asked Ian if he knew where George was; big breakthrough!

Cute video!!

Christopher had his first play over this year - I was quite nervous as mostly he goes to my friends or family, or the odd birthday party (last year).

He had a great time, and him and his friend Noah hid under the bed when i got there as they didnt want chris to go home. Im so pleased he has a friend he gets on with really well, and that the play over (as he calls it....not a play date LOL) went well.

That's great for Chris, playdates can be hard to set up I've found.

Yes definately. And i dont know whether i should say something or not? But in the end i did. I thought that looking after another person kid, id want to know.

And more good news he has been invited to another play over tomorrow. Im stoked. Two in two weeks. It may have taken all year, but im so happy for him.

And he ran in cross country yesterday. He came 13th out of 14, but was so happy with himself. Didnt want to wash his hands, as it would take off the number on his hand. He is never going to be an athletic super star, he is rather unco-ordinated, but i was so so proud of him, and his efforts! And he didnt even compain about going !

He has also stayed on the green for a couple of days. They have green, orange and red, and he struggles to stay off the orange and red, but has been very good the last week or so. Very proud of him.

Well done Christopher!!

Have been trying to toilet train Josh for a while now, but alas he just does not seem to know when he needs to go. I am either to early or to late. When we stick him on the loo. But last night he went wee wee on the toilet!!

wahooooo!!!! so jealous! My biggest fear for Mikko is that he won't toilet train. I can handle not talking and living with us as an adult but I can't handle cleaning a pooey man bottom!

Well done! Ian trained himself using the lawn; spent a few months using a trowel on the lawn and then we started taking him to the loo really quickly if we saw him go outside and take his trousers off

Me I think it was more an accidental achievement. He has not been since oh well keep on trying.....

Awesome!!!! Well done Josh!!!

About 3.5 I think, a while ago. He self trained before his elder brother did agewise.
