Opa came to visit this week! The kids were so excited, Carmie was beside herself. I think she would be happy if all of her grandparents moved down here so she could see every one of them every day. We had a lovely visit with Dad, but it was too short. However, Dad, we are holding you to your February visit with Oma!
The kids also went to their cousins' going away party. There was a jumping castle there (what kid doesn't like a jumping castle?), and Carmie won first prize in the karaoke contest ;) She was very shy, and she was obviously nervous as she did forget the words to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Arley wasn't shy at all and got the runner up prize for his noise-making ;)
We also got the kids to the park, and did some painting in the studio. This week was relatively struggle-free, compared to normal. Arley's tantrumming wasn't nearly as bad as normal, and he seems to understand about the naughty corner and how he doesn't want to be there :) This is not to say that he is easy yet, but his language is getting better, he is answering questions and talking more, and generally wakes up in a good mood. Carmie is a little excitable and impulsive, but still a sweetheart. She wrote her first sentence on her own last week, it went something like this: I went to swimig on Mandai. (swimming on Monday). She has started drawing recognisable things like lions, birds and hearts, and her pictures are all very cute.
I am heading to Sydney this weekend, and leaving the kids with their dad, so, fingers crossed everyone!
Here is a video of Karoake Carmie:
