Joshua & Brody (Aug 2011)

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

We have had an eventful month. Brody-boy has started to walk…. and climb and feed himself… and insists on brushing his own teeth… and play ball with his big brother. As a result mum and dad are now super-tired.

This is birthday season for Josh and his mates – one birthday party saw Josh get a great face-painting (as a tiger). We refused to wash our face for days.

Joshua & Brody (July 2011)

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

July is birthday month – Joshua and Brody boy, both born in July.

Mummy decided on a ‘Movie’ birthday party for Joshua and invited 4 of his mates to see Cars 2 at the Jam Factory (South Yarra, Melbourne).

All four boys (or their parents) accepted. The birthday party was a hit – the boys loved being together on the weekend and I suspect that they would have enjoyed just hanging out at a park – had the weather been better. A good time was had by all. Joshua still talks about it. I would love to share some photo’s of the event – but there were no photos in which all 5 boys actually were in focus long enough for that to occur. After sitting in a movie (almost 2 hours) all they wanted to do was move/play/scream/make funny faces/run, etc. Joshua loved his presents – especially the very loud “Shark Park” – picture attached.

Brody’s 1st birthday was a much quieter affair – just granny and mum, dad and Joshua. But, as with Joshua, I did take some cup-cakes to day-care and I’m told the girls in the nursery made a fuss of him. Big brother was very proud of Brody’s birthday cup-cakes (but told us they were not as good as his).
