Tyler's routine for having his bedtime bottle has been to say "Bawli" (bottle) and then climb onto the sofa and recline against one end until ones of his slaves brings it to him. He has now decided the couch is not suitable and makes us pull out the Lazyboy and pop the footrest up, then he climbs up and sits back like Lord Muck until the bottle arrives. When finished he says very imperiously 'Finee now' and holds out the empty bottle until a slave takes it away.

Goaty died yesterday :( He managed to get his rope caught on something. It won't be the same without him, he was a real character.

This picture is of the mark left when Tyler got bitten by another kid at daycare :(

And this one I call 'Mr Grumpy'. He often goes to sleep like this!

We spent last weekend in Queenstown, as it was Melanie and Greg's wedding. We had a good time although it was freezing. Tyler cut 2 more molars this week and has also been suffering from a cold, so stayed home with Daddy today. Now Mumy is getting the cold!

Looks like winter is on it's way, it was very cold and rainy today. Tyler had a dose of hand, Foot & Mouth last week, which is common amongst pre-schoolers and toddlers. Fortunately it wasn't a bad dose.

I'm going to try and add a link to the little bit of video I took of him saying "I don't know". Look for the link on the right hand side of this screen.
