Our little lady and little fella

The little people are growing up so fast at the moment -

Daisy has cut her own hair again, although this time I think she has just a good as job as a hairdresser would have done. I was looking at her yesterday thinking her hair looked nice and suddenly realised the fringe had been feathered cut, when I asked her I got the following reply in a teenage tone: "Yes mummmm, I did it last week" that told me.

We have had a few issues where Daisy keeps saying that all we care about is Sam and never give her any attention which we do not think is true but we have taken on board what she has said and we are making an effort to have more quality time with her starting with Daisy and I are going to have a girly day on Friday to get her new school shoes and coat and have lunch together.
She has been going to swimming every morning this week for 30min lesson and she is doing great, she can now swim back stroke, front crawl and breast stroke - her coach Steve is brillant and has taught her so much in the past few months.

Daisy is really into her drawing just like her Grandad David and I keep finding pictures everywhere, she did the most amazing card for Tim's birthday.

She loves to get up early just like her Daddy.


Samuel - well our energetic boy is still loving trains, he has calmed down alot and is listening alot more which is making life easier, also he is not getting so angry these days.

We had a dinner party for Daddy's birthday tonight and he was such a gentlemen, showing guests where to put their shoes, filling up the snacks when empty (this amazed me as I didnt ask him to do this) and trying to refill drinks (which was helpful if not a little messy).

He really is a lot of fun and loves cuddles and snuggles (as he calls it), he also loves to get up late in the mornings - so like his mum.

He is quite lazy and still likes me to dress him but we are working on it and he is starting to dress himself. He is 4 in five weeks and is so excited about his party, he really does love having people around him and celebrating.


They are both lovely children and we are very lucky to have them. Over the holidays there have been days when they have driven me up the wall but overall I have really enjoyed spending time with them and will actually miss their company when they go back to school/playgroup in just under two weeks.
