We were driving home today and Isaac was asking what he could do when he got home. I suggested that he could either ride his bike or play outside.
He paused for a moment and said "Playing with trains is more my style"
Isn't it great to know that your five year old has his own personal style of play?

Riding Along on My Push Bike Honey
We have a new bike. Or is it half a bike? Our new bike is an attachment that I can put on the back of my bike, turning it into a tandem bike for the kids. It's lots of fun, and alot of work for me.
We tried it out today, riding up our drive way and up to the top of the hill. Despite Isaac weighing more than Lizzy, it's much easier to ride with Isaac as he actually pushes on the peddles. With Lizzy, it's hit or miss whether she's actually pushing.
I have certainly done my exercise for today.

Spider
Ben & I were chatting when suddenly we hear:
"Look Mummy! A spider!"
Lizzy holds out her hands and proudly displays her spider to us. "What do spiders like to eat?"
"They like to eat insects, Lizzy. But did you know, if you find a spider you shouldn't pick it up. It's better to leave it where it is. Or if you have to move it, move it back to somewhere it would like to live."
"Where do spiders live?"
"Outside." Although this one is a house spider, I'd much rather see it outside.
So Lizzy takes the spider outside, and as we close the door she puts on her best mummy voice.
"Now don't come back inside."
"Look Mummy! A spider!"
Lizzy holds out her hands and proudly displays her spider to us. "What do spiders like to eat?"

A Day Early
Lizzy has been begging me to bake a birthday cake for the past few weeks. We have a wonderful kids cookbook, and each day she finds the picture of the birthday cake and asks if we can make it.
Today I finally gave in, and looked for an excuse to have a birthday cake.
First of all we sang...
"Happy Half Birthday's to us....".
It's 6 months to all of our birthdays - give or take a number of days.
Then I realised we could sing Happy Birthday to Emma - just a day early.
So we all sang "Happy Birthday Dear Aunty Emma" and then enjoyed a slice of cake on your behalf Em!
Happy Birthday!
