Well, I drafted that last post about a week ago, but only just got around to putting in the pics! Sooo since then, we've been to Montessori - pretty good but a bit small, will see how it goes but not convinced yet (had a nosy at the school kids too); and to Gym - really good, will definitely keep going and enjoying that one! Jack spent 45mins up the top of an 8 foot ladder.... trying to teach him how to get down: he gets to the top, climbs over, and then tries to 'drop' like he's going down a slide on his tummy (feet first). Then when I try to turn him and show him how to do it, he thinks I'm stopping him and proceeds to have a back arching tantrum at the top of said 8ft ladder!! If I let him get to the top then quickly go around the other side to help him down, he decides to go down the other side! And THEN when he is on a small, 2ft ladder he climbs up and over and down just right! Sooo a little bit of practice needed there!

Stuart went up to Auckland again this afternoon for a couple more days of Uni, so Jack and I joined a colleague whose husband has also gone, at an Irish Club pot luck dinner. It was so lovely and everyone was very friendly. Jack had a great time, there were piles of kids and he just blended in (mainly trying to get the football - Daddy would be so proud!). We must have been good guests as we've been invited back, they even said Stuart could come too!

Anyway, better go off to bed, playgroup in the morning.

Few more piccies....

Loving noodles!

Oh, and another new word - no no no no no no no! complete with finger wagging action!
