Update on our little family

I really am not very good at posting on here....just looked on here today and realised I hadn't posted since Oct last year - whoops!

Well since last post Noey now goes to daycare once a week on Fridays and has adjusted quite well.  He still says he doesn't want to go all the time, but once he's there he loves it and has the best time.  I'm confident our little boy will be going 2 days by the end of the year.



Noey 2 years 5 months old

Malia is back at daycare also and has made some nice new friends.  Her best little friend last year Ayesha P is going to big school this year and Malia has accepted that quite well.  Last year it was "Ayesha did this and Ayesha did that" all year long.  I was worried she'd be a mess this year but gets by with knowing that it's her turn to go to big school next year and she is very excited about it.

She will go to Ashmore Primary and they will have changed their uniform by next year from a delightful brown and gold to royal blue and yellow,, so I'm told.  Yay.  (sounds pretty shallow - I know).
I have met with the junior principle as mentioned in my last post and they actually cater well more the more advance students.  She tells me there is always a few each year that is way ahead of the others and her own daughter was in the same situation.
I am definately more comfortable with her going there now.  Who knows maybe she'll get there and she wont be so far ahead after all, I guess only time will tell.



Malia in her new glasses

Malia has to wear glasses now.  She has 'eye turn' in both eyes.  We've been attending vision therapy since early Feb and has to do daily exercises to train her eyes back to 'normal'.  The turn is not full time which is good news and hopefully we can have it corrected soon enough.

Christmas time was nice, time well spent with family and friends, kids getting spoilt as per usual.  Santa got them their very first surf board last year, they've been slow to start but I'm sure Jed will have them hooked in no time.



Trying out their new boards in the lounge room

 New Years was out at a very hectic Paradise Point on Poppy's boat.  He had the BBQ all set up on the boat and it was a very windy night but enjoyable.  Malia enjoyed her first fire work display but Noey didn't stay awake long enough for it.

Jed and I are back at work this year, he laying timber floors and me back the BOQ as a part time teller.  I love my job and am very scared of loosing it if we have another baby.  I have the nicest most down to earth boss in John and lovely collieges.  I view it as a 'break' when I go to work at the moment.  I love spending time with the kids but is nice to 'play adult' after being a stay at home mummy for 3 years.
If the 3rd baby does come along we will adjust.  I know the kids would love a new sibling.  A 3rd child would complete the Cahill family nicely :-)

Days at the moment are filled with visiting family and friends, going the Dreamworl/White water world, going to anyones pool, generally just getting out and about in the fresh air.
The kids have only recently gained more confidence in swimming pools.  Noey floats around in his floaties and Malia can now swim by herself.  She has been watching Em swim and wanted to be like her so decided to ditch the floaties a couple of months ago.  I've been suprised she picked it up quite quickly, she was even copying Em diving and flipping off the edge of the pool.

This has been a very 'choppy, changey' post but at least it's now up to date.
