All The Single Ladies.....

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 : )

SpoonMan.....

Wow - what a month! It's been huge. We are starting to settle...it's been a challenge getting stuff up and running but we are getting there. Rocky is happily in kindy one morning a week, playgroup another day... and in between we are trying to fit Dr's appts etc.
I am pretty impressed (but also horrified) that Rocky has started giving me directions home from the back seat of the car. "This way Mum, then, turn here, this way" I am wondering what is coming next (maybe tell me I missed a spot
when I'm vaccuming?? LOL) Rocky continues to grow and grow and surprise us...like all kids I guess. And it's so much fun. He loves to call Brett & I by our first names, and although we tell him 'Mum and Dad to you!' ..we crack up. He thinks everyone's last name is Hohn.
The weather here at the moment is fantastic. Still warm enough to wear shorts and go for a walk to the supermarket or any of the shops so close by. Rocky has well and truly squared up the local Donut King and is really settling in well. Brett is loving his job and the place is awesome!
It was great to spend Mother's Day with our mother's and grandmothers this year. Very special.
We miss our dogs terribly but try to see them once a week or so....on Sunday we took them to the Million Paws Walk at Mount Tamborine which was fantastic. There must have been 400 dogs there. Iggy and Mia were in heaven!
Well, must run as (would you believe) there is still some more unpacking to do. And I have decided it needs doing this week !! Maybe Master Rocky in all his wisdom can miraculously find more space for me to put all our stuff in...I won't ask him, he probably would - clever little thing!
Have a great week!! : )
ps. To our dear friends in Melbourne, we miss you all so much!!
