Round Up #57

There's been a lot going on over the past few weeks. Sarah's been up to Aberdeen with Michael and Emma (twice). Emma's starting to get the hang of crawling backwards. Michael's getting more and more clever, but still asks me all the time if I'm feeling any better before asking if we can play on the wii. He's moved on a step and is asking if something (e.g. eating dinner) will make me feel better.

Emma did manage the miracle of sleeping all the way through the night last weekend up in Aberdeen. Unfortunately that trick has not been repeated since.

On Sarah's first trip to Aberdeen, she spent a night with Louise and her two children (James and Abigail). I know that may sound like a compounded nightmare (pre-school kids and only two mums) to many, but Sarah and Louise had a really good time.

Michael's getting better at writing his name at nursery, and has even managed to write my one a few times (although he gets his d's mixed up, so it usually comes out bab).

Emma's taking to eating like a fish to water. She just can't get enough of things like peas and corn, but as the video below shows, she dodges sweet potato.

Sarah was surprised by Michael stating that they were going bowling a couple of Saturdays ago. He wasn't asking - he was stating fact apparently. True to his predictions, he did go bowling with the Sarahs, Charlie and Archie later that day. Sarah said he did spend a lot of time on the arcade machines rather than bowling.

Rumours of Aberdonian politician employing child labour for dub-dubs is confirmed

How the girl at the barber in Tullibody styled Michael's Hair. I'm not so keen myself......

Only Emma's smart enough to work out the location of the camera
