Well there's a thing

I was just drying Callum after his bath and found a third nipple!

When Declan was very young we visited the doctor and she pointed out his third nipple. She said many parents when told their child has a third nipple would exclaim and say they had one too and never realised what it was (neither of us do - we checked). At the time we were amazed, although admittedly, we hadn't noticed Declan's.

Callum's is smaller and on the other, right-hand, side; but definitely there.

A cause for celebration

Not five minutes ago Callum, Declan and I were dancing around with our arms in the air shouting hurray. The cause of this celebration? Declan did his first poo in the potty!

That moment of joy was almost immediately eclipsed by Callum then trying to teach Declan how to bend over to have his bottom wiped. When Declan couldn't follow the instructions, Callum started manilpulating his limbs into place to both their delight.

Cubby raising

We went up to the Mountains on the weekend to participate in raising Tommy's new cubby house. Callum was desperate to help, demonstrating his 'enormous muscles for lifting heavy things'.

The cubby got well-started, the kids all had a great time running around.
