wickedcherub- Toby has only woken up ONCE a night these past two nights and not required a feed. So he's not feeding at all during the night. This is amazing.
- We went to the Museum today and the kids had a blast as per usual. It's such a nice museum, really well designed. It was free entry, but the parking cost me $23. Liam and Toby easily spent 2 hours + in the kids section alone. It was packed today, being still school holidays. I gotta say though, some children's behaviour is *appalling*. School aged kids - it's not even the behaviour I'm shocked at, it's the parents either not telling them off after they see the behaviour, or just cursorily saying 'don't do that', and not following through. I had to remove Liam and Toby from a section because this little 4 year old girl would not stop throwing the soft toys *at* my children, even when I asked her to stop, and her mum was just 'don't do that Ava' and kept playing on her phone. Outside, there were some pigeons, and some of the older kids liked chasing them, but one kid wouldn't stop spitting water at them and got it all over the outdoor toys, and another was just throwing toys *at* the pigeons. The good news is that my kids are at that age where they're still perfectly behaved. Maybe I'll change my tune when they're older. They're Adam's kids soon, though, and he's the disciplinarian around here.
- I always come out of the museum with a new love of spiders. I generally hate spiders, but the spiders exhibit always make me appreciate them and the little webs around my house.
- I felt sick after coming home and I went to bed for a half hour and got up to make dinner and Adam had already put dinner on the table. BEST.
- Yesterday I was trying to get Liam out of my hair and told him to go draw something. He never draws or anything, so I was hoping it would be a novelty, and he agreed. I asked him to maybe draw me, and he adamantly yelled 'NO!!!!!' so I told him he could draw whatever he wanted. I later heard an 'OH NO YOUR HAIR IS TOO LONG MUMMYYYYYY' and came out to find that Liam had drawn my entire family. He's never so much as drawn a person in his life, and he's drawn me with long hair, forgetting that it's been cut. I have glasses! We have bodies! And fingers! How amazing is it. He's only ever really scribbled before and there's our entire family, recognisable! (sort of).
- In other Liam is Amazing news, driving to the museum, Liam pointed out the words 'Exit' and 'Melbourne', saying 'that's where we live.' He really just learns words off by heart, that kid.
- Toby is saying words like 'uh oh' and 'hi' now. Also using his fork. Yesterday he figured out how to use it, so he kept spearing food into his mouth in excitement without actually chewing his food. He had 2 raviolis, a piece of sausage and a slice of mushroom in there before I dove in and fished it all out.
- I read In Fashion by Stilinskisparkles today. (Sterek, 10k, mature). It was hot and had heaps of UST and I think maybe UST is my absolute favourite thing to read ever.
