Carmie has been such a good little girl this week! When she starts to get naughty, she just needs a bit of a warning and she snaps out of it, and it makes life much more pleasant! I don't think we've had one bad episode all week. Little Arley is still crotchety, but he can also be such a sweetheart. He is obsessed with the orange tree in the front yard. He thinks it's a lemon tree, no matter how many times I tell him, and his word for lemon is "mimin". So he is all about mimins at the moment, and he makes coming home very difficult, because he always wants to stay out in the (unfenced) front yard collecting mimins. I took Arley to the doctor this week, as a few things have been bothering me: his speech, and his odd behaviour when he lies on his back (stock still, crying and scared, but won't move or turn over). She said he has a definite speech delay :( and it might be caused by an inner ear problem (she thinks this because of his weird lying down behaviour), so we are going to see a specialist toward the end of July. I think he is fine, but better to know for sure.
We got up to a lot this week, with morning tea in Milton, a trip to Narrawallee Inlet park, a visit to Arley's girlfriend Daisy's house, swimming lessons (Carmie is swimming messy freestyle clear across the pool, and Arley's swim teacher is still in love with him, and he is doing much better as well). Arley had a good play at Carmie's school too, all in preparation for him starting there in July. He is still unbelievably clingy to me, and when his grandparents come to pick him up, he drops whatever he is doing and runs screaming to me, despite the fact that he loves them and loves his days on the farm. He is still completely obsessed with his 'ains' - his trains, and spends most of his time at home playing with them. That, and organising 'mimins' in the front yard :)
