June news

1. we all went on holidays west of the mountains and got sick again......................but we seem to be almost out of the woods - 7 weeks and counting. I wonder whether this is due to Sparky starting preschool this year?
2. Sparky has read his first book (anyone learn to read on the Peter and Jane series? it deserves a whole post of its own) and now we are trying to find the next one of the series at his urging.
3. Sparky is having nightmares more recently - does anyone know whether this is a 3 year old developmental thing?
4. Owl (still not renamed) is talking lots now - around about 100 words. Embarrassingly, he already shows a Tv fixation - his first words include Bob the builder, Fireman Sam, TV, DVD, toot-toot (great til you realise this means Thomas the tank engine). He has been having fights with his brother where he turns the Tv on, and Sparky knowing it isn't Tv time, says "No! Mummy says it isn't TV time!" and turns it off again. I have taken to turning it off at the powerpoint.
5. Yes, due to hols, sickness and general busy as all get out , this is my first June post. I promise more soon - well actually June is pretty busy :)
