We have had a very busy week, with trips to the park, a show at the theatre, fun with grandparents, arts and crafts, and a hair cut. Arley has had a good week, except for learning to climb out of his bed :( Last night he kept Carmie up until 9 because he wouldn't stay in bed. Tonight he tried to do the same, so we put Carmie to sleep in our bed, and shut the door to their bedroom so Arley couldn't get out. He banged on the door for 20 minutes then gave up and all was quiet. I went in 20 minutes later to check on him, and he had climbed back in bed, but he was still awake, and he started giggling like he had the best night ever. Pain in the butt! Jeffrey and I drove him up to Nowra today to get a hearing test done, and it turns out that his hearing is fine (yay!), and while unclear, his speech is not too bad, as he is starting to string two words together. So, that is a relief. I tried practicing with him to lie on his back and roll over, but he got so distressed that I'm not going to do it again. So, we are keeping his appointment with the ENT next month, to make sure that it is nothing more than just odd behaviour.
Carmie and I went to a show at Milton Theatre - her first show. The local theatre group put on "Seussical the Musical", and while Carmie was a little disappointed that she didn't get to see the real Cat in the Hat, she was very taken with all of the singing and dancing, and she was very excited to clap between each song - she was beaming. We also had a visit to the farm this weekend so that the kids could have a play on the tennis court and see their grandparents. And Carmie had her hair lopped off this week. She has been begging me for months to cut it - she was miserable every morning when I had to brush all of the knots out. Some mornings it would take half an hour to do her hair. I was just clinging to the baby curls which will never come back. Anyway, I took her to the hair dresser, and we decided to go for it and they cut off 7 inches. Carmie wanted more off, but I couldn't do it (she wants to be like some of her friends who have shoulder length hair, but she doesn't realise that they are all trying to grow their hair long like hers was!). Anyway, it is much more manageable now (only five minutes in the mornings!!), and it looks really healthy and lovely. Also, Carmen feels very grown up :)
All in all, a really good week :)
