Here is a smorgasbord of different things happening around the household this morning. Yesterday Sebastian attended a birthday party. In the treatment (can you tell one of our kids is sick?) I meant treat bag handed out at the end of the party Seb received a Buzz Lightyear with a parachute. This means he now has two small Buzz Lightyear’s. Sebastian seems to understand that the yellow thing is a parachute, but he insists on calling it a "power chute." I stopped correcting him after realising I didn’t want to suppress his creativity. Seb’s also struggling with "and beyond" using another word instead.

Sooo… things overheard this morning from Sebastian:

"Too infinity ambiance!"

One Buzz walks up to the other Buzz and asks, "We’re friends, right?"

"Oh yes," replies the second Buzz. Said conversation took place on yours truly’s shoulder as he was half asleep.

Judging by how much Jasper ate at breakfast this morning (full piece of French Toast and half a bowl of yoghurt) I think he may finally be on the road to recovery. This, however, after he was a complete and total miserable, irritable goat all day yesterday. To give you a sense of the battle he just fought I have attached the accompanying picture. (JJ and his teddy bear had a spat!)

Finally, I wrote earlier this week how the Terrific Trio have started saying grace. It sounds something like this… "Surap shurmn shappa fush nnng mmm hunh surap shurmnnn. Amen." In case you don’t believe us, I’ve attached this clip of Sela saying grace. Click here to download and enjoy. (Right click link with mouse, then select "Open In New Window.")
