The Famous Five

Back to School. The amigoes went back to school this week after their holidays. Xander and Marshall both went up a grade. After such a long time away they were a bit reluctant to have me leave but they ended up having a good day. Dette now works Tues, Weds and Thursday with the kids in school Weds and Thurs.

Australia Day was quiet. We all went to Al and Darryl's and had a barbie. The boys ate god knows what and ran around with their chum , Mitchell. When we got home Marshall wasn't quite himself but went to bed okay. He started waking up and coming out to see us so we let him have a cuddle on the couch to check his temp. It looked like he was settling down so Dette sent him over to me for a kiss. Just as a leant down he did the biggest vomit all over his dad and the couch. YAY. Sign of true love, i didn't flinch and Dette jumped in with the bucket later to clean it up.

Amelia has taken some tentative steps using the walker. It wont be long till she's off. Marshall's language is coming on in leaps and bounds and Xander is the question king. "What does XYZ mean?" Amelia is still giving us grief with her appetite and can go a day without having a proper meal, then she will chow down later. She seems to want to feed herself mostly, which is hard to monitor and rather messy. Well were used to that.
