My I Phone has died and I can't find the camera so sorry, no photos. The photo below was taken a couple of weeks ago when the kids went to Nana's for the weekend. Ingrid and I were intending on heading to a family reunion in Palmerston North (on her side), but we ended up getting last minute tickets to the Rugby World Cup! The game was fantastic and the break wasn't too bad either.
We've been to check out a new school for Sophie: Sunnybrae School. We turned up without making an appointment, hoping just to find out some infor about enrolling, but before we knew it, the principle met us and took us into her office and explained everything about the school - (that's more contact and communication in one visit there, than we've had since Sophie's been at Willow Park!). It makes perfect sense to send her there next year, a lot of her buddies from Kids Klub are all going along, it's pretty close to Ingrid's work and - they will allow Max there in a couple of years too! Sophie seems pretty relaxed about it too . syaing "I;m going to Sunnybrae next year"
Speaking of Sophie, I'm heading along to her first 'show' tomorrow at school - she's very excited - her role in the show/performance is the Taniwha - I'll try and find a camera to take some shots/video. She's topped her class for reading too and now enjoy's reading stories to us every night (not to mention the odd story to her baby brother which looks very cute)
Max is on fire these days...his vocab is getting bigger by the day and he's communicating pretty well. He still has trouble with number 2's, but then so did Sophie and she managed grew out of it. So as long as we continue to give him daily medicine and watch his diet - he's ok
Ingrid and Sophie went to visit friends on Sunday while Max had an afternoon kip - the girls ended up staying a while so as soon as Max woke, I slapped a All Blacks beanie on his head and whisked him off to the pub to watch his first game of All Black rugby on the big screen. The bar was packed and very loud but Max LOVED it. Every time the AB's scored - the place burst into cheers and claps - Max started going around hi-fiving everyone and clapping everytime we scored - he looked very cute. (and no camera to take photo's)
Tomorrow night Ingrid and I are off to see Chris Cornell (review of Sunday's show here)- who happenes to be the best male vocalist in the world...the dude is playing a 2 hour sold out acoustic set and we can't wait to see it.
