Quick update

It was Eli and Zac's fifth birthday a couple of weeks ago and they had a birthday party at Auntie Joyce's. Megan and Eve were there, so Michaela was very delighted. She thought she could play like the big kids and luckily for her, they were all really good with her. Here she is with Eve, Ronan and Megan.
Auntie Carol's birthday present from Australia arrived and Mommy mentioned to Michaela that we could maybe wait for Daddy to get home to open it. Well, she got her tool (a pronged fork from her play kitchen) and managed to open the parcel herself, even opening the card from it's envelope!
Michaela has finally learned to go down the slide at the play park by herself. But she has to go down on her belly. Mommy spent ages trying to get a good photo of her actually going down the slide and this is the best I could get. She goes down very fast!
And finally, another belly shot. This is Mommy at 30 weeks. Sometimes I get fooled into thinking I'm not that big, but then I see myself from the side! People comment that it looks like I've got a football or basketball stuffed up my top. I suppose that's better than all the weight going everywhere....
Potty training is going quite well. Usually the accidents we have are to do with pooping, but I'm sure we'll get there eventually. Michaela is just loving getting to play outside and is really good about listening to instructions. When we go to the clothes line, we don't have to worry about her leaving the garden and running onto the road. And she's still good at getting off the road if a car's coming - something she learned when we were in California.

Other than that, not much going on. We're just starting to prepare for the twins coming. Mommy goes to Aberdeen in just over two weeks, so it's all starting to sink in now!
