we have a toddler!! and other important announcements...

Sadly it's true. My littlest one, my baby, is walking. Still tentative but determined. Actually started a week or so ago, but he's trying all the time now. So not ready, suddenly feeling all clucky for new babies which is soooo not going to happen for a long time yet!
Still on Atti news, he's teething resulting in lots of wakeful nights. Top tooth is soooo close to breaking through but has been for at least a week now. Just break through damn it!!! :P

We got another 3 chickens the other day thanks to the Hows. Battery hens, so was hoping that they would show my lazy girls how to 'back one out' as Mark so eloquently puts it. We thought they'd take the 3 weeks everyone tells you it take to settle them in, but we had an egg the next morning...and three since then!! Yay!! The downside is it turns our our old hens are a pack of bitches and they mercilessly bully the new ones. To the point were a new chook is now blind in one eye! Hoping to calms down soon, half expect to one find half a carcass down there one morning...

Today was the kinder info session for our local waldorf school. It's very exciting, our big boy is starting next year and it the whole reason we moved to the hills. So good to have one thing sorted, the more we hear and learn of this type of education the more sure we are of how well it will suit our family :) Next week is our family interview to see if we suit the school, that should be fine I think...and then a final interview going through our big boy's early childhood. Not so looking forward to that and going through his traumatic birth which he distinctly remembers :( Oh well surely they wouldn't exclude us for making crap birthing choices before he was even born?!

OMG Walking?! Wow! Savannah cruises the furniture at top speed, but has yet to let go. Why can't they just slow down?!

I hear you on the teething and lack of sleep. Arg.
