Tiny Tales Untold 2012 Week 8

This week we took family pics of the kids and unsurprisingly Will acted like a 4 year old getting family photos taken!

I did silly things to get Tama to look. He didn't but of course it made the rest of them laugh!

 

Awwwww nice.

 

 Hey somebody???

He's choking me!!

I've developed a soft spot for Eucalypti- they are pretty and pretty cool.

Will has too but he prefers the Nuts to the flowers- typical boy.

Will it's 34 degrees out- you don't need SOCKS!!

It's Tama.

 

See the likeness.....

What's that? Yes more swimming!

 

 

 Will got to be a Line Leader going to the first full school assembly for the year!! (Major big deal!) Mrs Gordon on the right.

Got to stand-up in the assembly and have Happy Birthday sung to him (They did all the kids since the last assembly last year hence the reason my December boy is standing up in February)

 

 They sang an action song- notice the Senior Management team all doing different actions at the same time. :-)

And the whole reason we dressed up and suffered through 1 hour and 25 minutes of yawn worthy crap on a day that Will doesn't normally got to Kindy? Will was one of the first two kids in Blue group to get one of the 'big' certificates! (See him walking up above)

 

 And just to the left of the podium with his certificate.

Gratuitous cuteness!

  

Les and Will joined me on a walk or in Will's case a bike... he's getting very good.

Will stopped to talk to the annoying yappy barking dogs.

 

He got down on their level- he thought to himself afterwards that those dogs probably really liked him seeing as how he was barking just like them and seemed so much like a dog himself. 

I think it may have been on the same walk that Les and I were saying it looked like it may rain to which Will replied: "Best we get home then!" I'm sorry but what sort of four year old frames it like that!

Doesn't it always feel great to go to bed with a completely clear bench? Yes, yes it does!

Very Creative Jimmy Giggle!

Back in November when Les was in Aberdeen Will made a picture for the Giggle Gallery, which is part of Giggle and Hoot's show on ABC for kids.

Then at the start of February Will finally got his postcard to say that his picture was going to be on the show. We had to wait 3 very long weeks for the episode to air.

 

 Will was a little bit excited....

Ok so he was actually HUGELY excited.

This is Jimmy talking about Will's picture....

"Very creative Will!"

And here's the episode edited for length (Will's picture was last, talk about build up the tension!).

Merenia

 

Much like Kieran I don't have many photos of Merenia either. She also spends a lot of time in her room, doing who knows what. And when she's out of it she can most likely be found watching crap TV- not inspiring photo material. 

 

I'm pleased to say she's changing, she's growing up and maturing. She's 'that kid' at school. The one the teacher gets to do the main part in the assembly, or asks to write something at the last minute for the class newsletter. She's the one that gets the Values award at the full school assembly for co-operation.

She still has her blonde moments at home- she recently adjusted her analogue clock because it didn't do leap years. And she takes way too long to tell a story and talks way way too much. She's still very argumentative but she's balancing it out with a lot more nicer moments and doing more around the place using her own initiative- which isn't something her bigger brother is likely to do any time soon. Prefering to be concerned with the fairness of his 'workload' and finding ways to do as little as possible.

She was really lucky this year to be selected for the State Music Programme which means she gets Guitar Tuition at school with a music teacher who comes in specifically. She is in a group with one other girl so really focused teaching! The little boys and I went out and brought her guitar one school day and she came home and picked it up and just played. Adapting stuff from her Ukulele playing.
