Mothers Day at Kinder

Seb's kinder put on a special morning tea for us mamas' this morning in anticipation of mothers day this Sunday. And it was the sweetest this ever. The kids had made us cupcakes which we decorated together, macaroni necklaces, painted handprints on canvas and cute little cards.

Seb and I had the funnest time together. He ran up to the fence when he saw me pulling into the carpark and then ran to the door to greet me. He took me to the cupcake table where we decorated our cakes together. I was the first Mum there and therefore the first to decorate cakes. I almost felt a little sorry for the others as we used A LOT (most) of the decorations on our cakes. Seb was a little heavy handed when it came to sprinkling them on top. But they tasted good and we were happy so... oh well. (trust me... these pictures don't show all of the sprinkles that started on our cakes and ended up all over the table and floor.... but there were a lot).

After eating our cakes (I had to keep steering Seb away from the table because he wanted to go back and eat the icing out of a bowl with the spoon) we went outside for a play.

He showed me his cool tricks jumping off the trampoline, how he could go down the slide, how high he could swing, and then we started building a pretend fire so we could roast pretend marshmallows. I love his imagination and enthusiasm.

Seb wanted me to take this photo of his bum in the air lol.

Then we went to the outdoor kitchen and made a 'mud'cake. We had lots of fun scooping up dirt, bark and leaves to put in it.

At the end of the session, the kids handed out the little gifts they had made and read us a story called Thanks Mum. Hand made cards and gifts from the kids are my all time favourite. They are so adorable and heart felt it just makes me so happy.

My Special necklace...

Thank you for a special day Sebby. Love you so much. You make me the happiest mum in the whole world and are the light of my life.

Zac's first tooth falls out

 This morning, Zac's first tooth fell out.

After months of it being wiggly (roughly 6 months) it finally came out.

We were SO excited for this and had been talking about it for so long. During breakfast, Zac's tooth was bleeding a little bit and it was hard for him to bite into anything. So I cut up his toast into tiny bite sizes pieces which he could just pop straight in and chew. I handed him the plate and as I walked backed into the kitchen he yelled out "MUM.... I PULLED IT OUT". I couldn't believe he actually pulled it out himself. Noel had been asking if he could pull it out and Zac would absolutely FREAK out at the idea of it. So the fact that he did it himself shocked us. But we were so happy and we jumped around and got all excited for the tooth fairy to come. Seb kept getting upset because we wouldn't let him hold the tooth (mostly because I knew he would drop it somewhere and we'd never find it again). In the end i let him hold it for 10 seconds and then gave it back to Zac to put in his special tooth fairy pillow. He got $2 that night and was so excited to find it in the morning.
