227 + 123 Weeks

We didn't get many photos this week, as it was a rainy weekend, and I spent Sunday at the gallery.  The kids seem to like their home time now that they spend 4 days a week at school.  The kids have been great.  Arley is actually getting sweeter - fewer tantrums, more talking, less hitting.  He still won't eat dinner, unless it is hot chips, but today for breakfast he had three bowls of muesli, a pancake with maple syrup, two cups of oat milk and a cup of apple juice.  Growth spurt maybe?  He is not even close to being toilet trained, but in an effort to get him started, we bought him a Thomas the Tank potty seat, which he sits on before bath time but has never actually used.  Carmie is reading a lot, she knows all her 'sight words', and is doing really well with the simple first reader books.  She likes to sit and do 'work sheets' in the morning, where she practices her writing.  She still loves her arts and crafts and this week is very into 'decorating' a cardboard box.  Fun times.

I had a fantastic week as far as painting sales go.  I had a big daddy sale off my website, and then I sold three paintings in three days from my show at Tallwood restaurant, and then just yesterday I sold a small painting to the owner of Tallwood, and today I spoke to the big daddy buyer who has commissioned me to do a 4' x 6' painting for his new restaurant in Melbourne.  Can't beat that!

Potty training, kind of  :)  He's wearing his new favourite shirt, Carmie's bunny shirt.


 Carmie likes painting abstracts like her mum
