David has now been at the uni daycare for a couple of months now, and seems to really enjoy his days there. He's a busy, happy wee boy who loves exploring and investigating how things work, and is very social. When we take him to a playground, he generally heads for the very biggest slide he can find! He can communicate pretty clearly what he is thinking and feeling most of the time, through a combination of words, half words, and signing. One of his latest (which his Oma taught him) is signing 'yummy' by waving his hand near the side of his head. It's very endearing when you give him some food that you have slaved over to make him and he lets you know that he thinks it's pretty tasty :)
As I write this, Reuben is in Dunedin, working on a job his company has just started recently. He has spent the week there, and will be back down there again next week (noooo!!!) but then we are off to the Whitsundays for a week together (just the two of us) which we are very excited about.
I'll see if I can find a few photos that might be of interest... enjoy, aunties! :)
This one is catching David having a wee tea break (yes, there is watered down tea in that cup!). He had been busy outside but thought a cup of tea was a good idea... I think the cloth on the floor is probably because he had a wee spill - when this happens he rushes quickly to the bottom drawer and pulls out a cloth to wipe up the mess... don't know WHERE he would have got that anal kind of behaviour from...
Bouncing on his tramp from the toy library.
Amazingly, Reuben sometimes pauses long enough in his weetbix inhillation in the morning to share some with David. What an example of fatherly love :)
