Childcare Journal Posts

In Jayden's childcare, they write journals with pictures for each child...usually once a week, about how the child is doing in childcare, what can the child do etc...there was this post in the journal, which I like especially...

27th Feb 2009
"Jayden sat in the book corner today with another baby. Jayden independently flicked through several books and then looked close through "That's not my truck". Jayden touched the various textures on each page. The other child began to cry and Jayden looked at her closely and crawled infront of her and pointed to the pictures. He turned the pages and pointed to each one. The baby stopped crying and Jayden continued showing her his book."

It's just gorgeous to read about your baby like that... =0)....

ColdPlay Melbourne Concert

So this was what happened...the buildup....

Thomas was suppose to meet me at crown for dinner last night but then traffic was so bad that by the time he met me, we only had like 45 mins before the show starts, which was at 7pm. So we decided to make our way to Rod Laver Arena to try to get a park. Went up and down Alexandra Pde and found nothing, so we had to park at the other side of the hill. Was drizzling and of course I had left my umbrella at work. Got to Rod Laver, bought fish(1 piece) and chips, Wedges and a bottle of water..for the price of $20 bucks...but what do you expect...concerts are pricey...

Took our seats about 7-ish...they were halfway throught the first opening act "Decoder Ring"..not bad...left the stage about 8pm...thought the concert was going to start..but noooooooooo..they had to have a second opening act..tat was gross "Mercury Rev"..the lead singer..he sounded like a roasting donald duck, which gave me a headache and by the time they left the stage at close to 9pm, I was seriously over it.....not to mention the fact that there was this group of teenagers behind me yaking about their love life and this weird "couple" infront of me....the gal was soooo into the guy...but the guy just couldnt be bothered..it was such a sad sad sight..anywayz

States 7pm seated and at 9pm....the concert wasnt starting..but was it worth the wait??!WAS IT WORTH THE WAIT??!! IT WAS FANTASTIC...IT WAS REALLY BRILLIANT....the best concert I have seen...at 9.15pm the concert started...hits and hits were belted out....when they sang Yellow, big balloons came falling..the lasers..the effects..brilliant...and in the middle of the concert, they went up to the CHEAPO seats and sang a few songs there like 'I'm a believer'....and I have got to tell you...CHRIS MARTIN IS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS..i cant say enough..gosh...the concert ended about 11ish...so not a very long one..but brilliant..well worth the 140 bucks we paid for each ticket....

my only wish...they had more hits and do away with the stupid second act so that they can start earlier...but my oh my...brilliant is an understatement...

and of course..all this isnt possible..if it werent for GWEN AND CK!!! I reckon they were the STARS of the night....they had to pick J up...feed him..bathe him...and put him to bed....AMAZING...

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi! Oi! Oi!

Thomas is now Aussie!!!! Got his citizenship yesterday...we can now travel to Europe without the need for a stack of Visas needed for every country we might visit...of course that is if we are going to Europe... *hint*..no seriously *HINT HINT*


Old Fart!

Was 31 on the 27th Feb...I cannot believe that I am 31....sheesh.....

No More Night Bottles!!!

YAY!!! We did it!!! Managed to wean J off the overnight feedings...took us 2 days but ....gosh..should have done it a long time ago...now J SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT (for 3 days already)!!!! Amazing!!! Realized that I needed to do it when J woke up at the same time every night just wanting milk....became a habit for him actually...and of course the fear of bottle rot teeth (6 teeth now..hee)....Of course him sleeping through the night doesnt translate to me doing that...heee.... I still wake up just to check on him though...heeee...next step I guess is to get him to sleep in his cot in his own room alone.....wish me luck!!
