Sweet-pea

The recognition we get from our son these days is quite wonderful.Not only does he call me "Mum-ma"and dad,"Dad-da"but he also gives us BIG hugs.Ah,lovely.The huge amount of love and trust you get from your child is AWESOME.
Neat trick I learnt tonight:To get Jas into the habit of brushing his teeth-stand with him at the mirror,give a big cheezy smile and he will smile too,thats when you get the toothbrush in!.Ofcourse,Jasper wouldn't be jasper if he didn't crack me up-he pulled a face at the taste of the toothpaste and promptly spat it out!
These kids of ours are so precious and show you what true innocence is,in a million different ways .And you fall more in love with them everyday.
Speaking of our little dude,he is on the floor at the mo,playing inside a huge box that his dad dragged in from the carport-and he is having the best time.Better than pulling all our books out from the bookshelf and chewing on them.Yes,he did!!.Sadly,I have had to put my wooden giraffe away.Ironically,giraffe survived the long bumpy trip all the way from zambia,Africa but It wont survive the curious clutches of my 9-month-old son!.
Oh yeh,today we planted some sweet-peas in the herb garden, sweet-peas being April's flower, Jas (and possibly Ruby's) birthday(s). Made a little trellis and everything, they have mint, basil, chives and parsely around them, hopefully they will flower towards late summer\autumn.
