Life has been very busy here since we arrived, although things are settling down a bit now. At the moment, we are enjoying school holidays! Rocky is loving kindy, we have all our hospital stuff organised and it's going along well. Being at kindy, Rocky has inevitably got every cold going around. I guess that's kids, but the nice thing for us (can't believe I'm saying a cold is nice!) is to see him recover well.

I know most of you have already experienced this, but now that Rocky is mixing with other children, we are getting some really assertive statements. I really do think prior to going to school, Rocky did not believe he could say no. Now he is making up for lost time. He has a real growl in his "NO". I hate to ask the obvious, but do I really sound like that?? LOL!! With statements like.... "Go away" ....and at the shops "I think I'll take this one home, Mum", "I can do it"...and when he doesn't want to "Mum's turn"....and my favourite order...."Hop out of the way". I have added some benign guidance like, "How about saying please?" Ahhhhh, I see my real work is beginning!! And I thought I had it tough before...Actually, to be honest we couldn't be prouder of our little man who is just embracing life so well, cheek and all : )
