Austy's Easter adventures

Easter Bunny had a sleep in on Easter Sunday, he needed a rest after delivering all those eggs, and decided to deliver Austy's while he had his morning nap, that way he could eat lunch before stuffing his face with chocolate. When he was all washed down and free from his highchair, Austy's Easter hunt began:





Instead of leaving a gazzillion eggs, the Easter Bunny hid six little chicks in the back garden for Austy to find, and two of the chicks were guarding something very special:



Well, we thought they would be pretty special to a little boy who loves to eat his Daddy's chocolate covered gluten free bickies... but he wouldn't have a bar of them, pushing us away and shaking his head with his little lips tightly closed!




So we gave up on him trying out chocolate easter eggs, and today he munched down on hot cross buns instead, saying "Mmmm-mmm - yummy". He likes these better than chocolate, which probably isn't a bad thing.








HAPPY EASTER everyone!

Sentences!

Austy is just amazing. There is no other word for it! Every day he treats us to a new surprise and this week it is sentences. Little ones, but sentences all the same. The first sentence was said last weekend and it was "Daddy gone bo-bye" when we were eating breakfast and I told him Daddy was at work. Since then, he has been stringing words together all week:

"Pa's here!", "Daddy's coming", "Mummy's home", "Hat on pease", "more bikkie", and the best one "I uv ooo!" As always with his talking, he has said more sentences than I can remember, so these aren't the only ones and I'm sure there were more with three words+ but I just can't recall them. And last night when I got home from work he ran over to me saying "Mummy, park puppy tunnel!" I had no idea what that was all about but then Andrew explained "We went to the park and he saw a puppy go under the play equipment which he calls a tunnel". I was just so surprised that instead of repeating something we have said or saying something in context with what we had said, he came up to me to tell me the story about what he saw. I am sure there will be plenty more now that he is happily experimenting with putting words together! He's growing up oh so fast!

Another two teeth kept him up last night from about 2-5am and he is only just down for a sleep now as he refused his morning sleep. But these are the last ones I think, so no more upset sleep due to teething!
