max has a 'silly dress up day' at school today. he chose his outfit; a camouflage vest made with mum, which incorporates painting, and real leaves and feathers... a sombrero.... a moustache (started with a stick-on version but that was too itchy so mum drew one with an eyeliner).... a sandal on one foot, a sneaker and sock on the other... the other sock on his hand... lol... as i said, his own work! underneath he's wearing jeans and a top, and i packed his spare sneaker in case his foot became too cold, he he!
i re-jigged the playroom yesterday, so it's now 90% max and 10% cleo... i brought the kitchenette and table/chairs in from the the cubby, and set up a 'home corner' which cleo has already loved playing in. she's growing up so quickly! she found a dolls bottle in the kitchen and fed her doll - bless. initially she thought the bottle was an ear thermometer, so had that stuck in her ear, until i showed her it's actual use!
at school drop off yesterday, max hugged my knees and lifted his own legs off the floor, pulling me down on top of him (not full weight, but on my knees, pinning him!), and all of this with cleo in my arms! bit of a spectacle! max was screaming as he bumped his head, cleo was oblivious, and i simply couldn't move, as with cleo in my arms, i couldn't get off max!
aaron's home today, yay! we are going to a farm stay in harvey for two nights over the weekend, which should be (cold but) fun. i bought cleo some little wellies for the occasion! i already have a pair of spotty ones, and i hope to try my hand at milking a cow!
