D'Arcy's Favourite LoL

D'Arcy has been exposed to the hilarity that is ICHC. Actually they work well on him, as his literacy level is such that reading them makes more immediate sense to him than standard English,and unlike adults his brain hasn't become fixed to standard English spelling yet.

Another Jolly Jumper pic, this time at my friend Amanda's house. Amanda's daughter Emily 2¾ put the funny hat on Erik's head.

Two boys on the sofa, looking solemn, but at least Erik's not screaming. He was, but I managed to snap him when he wasn't. D'Arcy is going to his dad's tonight, as his dad is getting married tomorrow (I know, on a Friday). D'Arcy is very excited - he gets to wear a suit and look after the rings, and he gets to see his Adelaide grandmother.

My mum has been here, and we've made a big mess in the guise of cleaning things up getting ready for Grandma Joyce to come. It is very good.

Also in the good category - Erik has been asleep for 2½ hours this morning. Showing some signs of waking up soon, but not there yet. So I've been looking through cooking magazines for nice things to eat over the next week and a half. Lots of fish.

Ooh, Erik is making his "I'm waking up" squeaky noises.

Bouncing in the doorway in his Jolly Jumper with his Grandmother encouraging him. He really likes it, I think, or at least he did yesterday. Today he was a bit tired and due for a sleep, so he got grumpy.

There was a picnic at D'Arcy's school today for their literacy festival, but it was freezing and cloudy, so we didn't stay for long. Long enough to eat a sausage roll and some vegies and hummous.

In the bouncinette looking at his Canberra Grandmother who was making funny faces to try to elicit a smile.

Beloved has gone to the US for work, and to pick up his mother who is coming for visit. So I thought I'd try to take a photo of Erik every day for him to look at. Sadly I got off to a bad start - this is yesterday's. In the car capsule, wearing his Highlands hat that Auntie Laura brought back from PNG for D'Arcy a long time ago now. Also wearing his emu suit from Stringybark Graphics (which I'll ge the URL for soon).
