Growing up too fast…seriously
Apparently boys get a shot of testosterone when they’re about 3½.
Guess how old David is now? Â 
Yes, he’s been a little less than angelic over the last couple of weeks. Â He’s learning all sorts of words that aren’t…nice, and is using them to great effect in driving his parents up the wall! Â Add to that that he is a determined little lad and has to have things just the way he wants and you have a situation that has been hard work, to put it nicely. Â But he’s still adorable, especially when he’s crushing on older women. Â
Pretty much every birthday party or playground or any event he has attended, the little romeo locates girls who are in that 8-12 age bracket – namely right at the point when they don’t want to be hanging out with a toddler – and follows them everywhere they go. Â He’ll even eschew his normal friends simply to be in the same room as his new girlfriends! Â Then, when he gets home, all he’ll talk about is the girls – for hours!
He’s a resilient little fella though, so when his affections aren’t returned, he doesn’t seem too fussed – he just forgets about that chick and gets another one at the next event! Â He’s too young to be tied down you see. Â
Hmmmm….grumpy, moody, aggro and obsessed with girls?!?  3½ going on 14!
Kids say the darndest things
It’s weeks like these that I’m glad I have this blog! 
While at the doctor’s this week, Christie, David and Sarah had to wait for a while (shock, horror!) A gentleman entered the surgery to see the sawbones. Said gentleman was evidently one who chose to express himself using body art. He had a number of tattoos and peircings, including a nose ring.
David then turned to his mummy and asked “Mummy, why does that man have a ring in his nose? He’s not a piggy!”
Out of the mouth of babes, eh?
Not much other news to report this week really. Sarah had her 3-month shots and was a bit unsettled afterwards but fine now. She also went to Plunket and all reports from there are good.
David had Jack from Playcentre’s party today – an army theme! However, the only soldiers he’s familiar with are from his Children’s Bible! So it was David dressed as Goliath who went crawling under the camo nets this afternoon. 
So cute.

Welcome
Welcome to our blog! We started the blog to cover the events leading up to the birth of our first child, David.
When that happy event finally took place, we started using the blog to update friends and family on what he and we get up to each week, including the events around the birth of our first daughter, Sarah. It's more interesting than it sounds...we hope! If you want more than that, check out the other parts of the site. Or, you can find us on Twitter or Facebook if you look hard enough!
