Once upon a time...
In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!
We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.
And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP
I love toddler speak. Right now, Saxon's R's and L's come out as Y's. He tells me he "yoves" me, and calls Rabby "Yabby". And at the park the other day he threw his Freddo Frog packet in my face yelling "Take my yapper!"...which has become Auntie Teagie's new catch phrase!
Funny thing is though...when he says "yellow", which actually starts with a Y, so you'd think he'd pronounce correctly...it comes out "lellow" lol. He really is the cutest thing ever.
I'm going to be heartbroken the day he can pronounce all his letters properly :o(
Not that I actually went anywhere, physically. Well I did, for a week...but that was almost a month ago. I've just been mentally MIA (nothing unusual there, you say!). Since I was here last time, I've been to InspireMe 2010, and failed to be overly inspired, although I made lots of awesome new friends. I've shot my first newborn twin session. And I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start shooting whole families. My first session is tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. I've started a new 365 - a freestyle type deal this time. No themes, just shoot what I feel like. And it's WAY harder than shooting a theme. Even a sucky theme.
I think I've lost my mojo a little bit. Or a lot. I don't know. I do know that I use many very short sentences these days. Haha.
Anywho...the boys had a moment this morning when we were leaving to go grocery shopping, and they didn't want to stay with Mama. So in a desperate bid to distract them while we made a run for the car, we let them open a birthday pressie from Grandma and Grandpa in England. Only a little bit early. Shhhhh... Wyatt's was a Roary the Racing Car book. Very cool. He made me sit down and do the whole thing with him this afternoon. He's a very clever boy. He's not even in grade 1 yet and he's reading and doing maths at a level I don't remember the older kids reaching until probably yr 2. He obviously takes after me ;o)
This is his "concentrating really hard" face...
And his "Are you in there, Elmo?" face...
And his "good try" sticker...he chose this one because he tried his best and that's good :o)
Night all! xx
