The monkeys

The children are growing up so quickly, not an original thought I know, but my mind reels that Isla will soon be four and Lachy is well into toddlerhood already (albeit before his time). Almost makes me consider other baby, almost. This is where the munchkins are at right now:

Isla
Still in love with princesses, fairies and all things Disney
She is really starting to get interested in what she is wearing, how she is doing her hair etc
Wants her ears pierced for her birthday
She is coming along at kindy in leaps and bounds, learning her sight words so well.

Loving drawing and writing and making things. Sellotape obsession.
Loves to bake and help in the kitchen - cupcakes are a definite favorite.
Dancing.
Loves her little brother, it makes my heart swell to turn around when we are in the car and see them holding hands.
Randomly and constantly announces "I love you mum/dad/nana etc". Or even "I love you so much mum, you don't even know". She is such a sweet, loving kid. The cuteness.
Tells me she wants four babies of her own, and a daddy Francis. The innocence.

Lachy
Loves to dance. Loves music, dances in the car - he is hilarious.
Does everything with the hugest grin, so quick to laugh and smile - gregarious little guy.
Stands at the fridge and pantry door, jumps up and down and yells till you get him what he wants.
Can say mum, dad, nana, duck, and lala (Isla)
Has an insatiable appetite for grapes
Won't sit still for 5 seconds. Literally.
Sloppy, open mouth kisses and snuggly cuddles. The best.
Loves to climb. Everything. Has just started at jumping beans and loves it.

Seems to be so accident prone - he's always got grazes, bumps and raises - contemplating some padded head gear...

Together

They are starting to play so well together and Lachy worships his big sister - he just wants to do whatever she is doing and will go and sit right on top of her when she is playing. He loves it when she dances and has taken to spinning around and around in circles and laughing like fools together. Isla loves it when she makes him laugh and will do it again and again. Sometimes he crosses the line and I hear "muuuuuum, Lachy's doing (fill in the blank)" which I am sure we will hear more and more of. The other day Isla told me "Lachy's my best friend mum", so we'll enjoy it while it lasts!
