Max right now!

I have been beating myself up for not keeping up with Max's diary and his day to day adventures. I like to put a lot of my journaling in a word document and come back to it later.
I was playing with Max tonight and thinking about how I can't wait to see WHO he grows up to be, then I got sad as I also want to pause time and enjoy my little character now!


MINE is your favourite word. everything is yours!!!! You say MINE with such force sometimes it scares us!

Come on! is your next favourite thing to say! there is no sitting still when you are around. You are always on the move and always wanting us to watch you and play with you (which we love).

You really DISLIKE your stroller, and INSIST on walking everywhere - which is a slow process. I bribe you with a doughnut and a milkshake to get in the trolley each Saturday.

You say hello to people that catch your eye in the shops and as they leave you say goodbye, not everyone just the people that interest you!

You are a FISH. The pool has been your favourite spot over summer and swimming is your thing! You LOVE to swim with your face in and are trying to do big arms. Here you are at your swimming lesson and you have just swum about 3 m.

You wake up and ask for and look for dad. You are sad when I tell you he is at work. You get excited when he comes home. You love sharing his breakfast in the early hours of the morning.

You insist on wearing shoes to bed most nights, I have to sneak in and take them off once you fall asleep.

You adore puppies. When we read the ABC book you have to kiss and pat the puppy..oh and you have to blow out the candles too!

You are OBSESSED with power points and turning things on! When I shower you take the hair dryer and plug it in and turn it on! ON is another word you say with real force! You drag dad's mobile phone charger around looking for a power point without a safety plug in.

Keys are another obsession!!! along with the car! you have a set of your own real keys that you carry in your pocket and take to bed.

Your cot is usually FULL of JUNK!!!! toys, puppies, cords, the bath hose, 6 dummies, little people, keys, cars and your sunglasses! you pile it all in and try and cuddle it all at sleep time, I clean it out daily!

You call play dough "bugger".

You are such a character, you pull faces, throw tantrums and boss us around! You know what you want and rarely give in. You give the bust cuddles and blow the sweetest kisses.

You often negotiate with words like "one more", "no more" "more,... more!"

If i let you rice bubbles and baked beans would be the only thing you ate.

You always want lollies at the shop and I tell you they are "not for sale today" you proceed to tell off the shop assistants in Max SPEAK and throw your hands around and point a lot!

You screw your face up and throw your hands around when things annoy you, this makes us laugh so much.

you call the phone a "hello".

You love going to gymnastics and swing like a monkey from the bars.

You sit down and just say names of people that you adore. Mitch next door and Uncle Mark are your IDOLS! it sounds like this "mum, mum, dar-ren, mitch, nanna, nan, Kyle, mark, puppy, mum, dar-ren, dad, mitch, me, mark, kyle"

oh yes we still cant stop you from calling dad dar-ren.

You eat anything if you are hungry.... brocilli is your fav vege and you love taking dad's carrots.

maxy! we love you more than ever and if we dont manage to have another miracle like you, it will be ok as you are more than we could ahve ever asked for

YAY for warmer weather!!!

thanks Adelaide!!!! we have been in the pool every afternoon!
Yes I DID take a very expensive camera INTO my pool but hey i got some great shots!!!
I was sorting through photos from Feb today and I found these!!!
I think this is what these two are thinking
"Max it is 18 degrees, cold, rainy and windy! Why are they going in?"
"Because they just got their license, spent $$$big bucks on the gear and they are SILLY"

Simon, Heath and Darren (the Father's group) formed from our mothers group attempted their first dive after two days training!!! It was cold and rainy and Tracey and I left then for the SHOPS!!!! (as we had their wallets)!

My PEOPLE will call YOUR PEOPLE!


My PEOPLE will call YOUR PEOPLE! I am trying to remember cool little saying for my scrapbook pages if I ever SCRAP AGAIN!!!
I am PEEVED that my fav photo place RABBIT changed their POLICY!!!! no more CHEAP photos unless you pick up the next day!!!! WHAT 4 day a week working mother WHO scrapbooks whenever life or work does not get in the way FOLLOW those rules! I am not dragging Max to the shops TWICE to get photos! BIG W just might be getting my business (oh NO I just remembered they don't enlarge in MATT) - ARRRRGH!!!!!!!!!

I was sorting photos and found this!!!! I had to think about it ............WHAT was he doing?? Oh that's right the lady in front was walking a dog and he is obsessed by dogs so he was chasing the "puppy". Here is number one photo for his 18th!!!!

Oh I am sitting here on a Sunday morning with soo much to do but with a toddler by my side I can't get any of it done! He is currently unwinding a 200m thread spool, allowing me to type!
Darren is off scuba diving! left at 3am - LUCKY MAN!!!! He owes me BIG time NOW!!!!!!

Max is telling me to COME ON!!!! he is over the thread and is moving on!!!!!!
