Ruby

Ruby is about to start Year One of big school.It's very different to Pre-primary,which in Australia is equivalent to Kindergarten in New Zealand.So,it's a huge year for her.But ruby is a very social kid,she is very take-charge,bossy,and determined.I admire her commitment to whatever she pursues (she is currently learning to play guitar:).Infact she is the one who keeps her old mum grounded!,reminds me to stick to things.She is going to be six this april!.In a way ruby has an old head on young shoulders and is quite grounded for someone who has such a creative imagination!.Her non-stop energy and ideas can be exhausting.Ruby is also sensitive,kind,affectionate and generous.My girl is happiest when she's making something to give to her friends and family.She charms the pants of everyone!.
You can't describe the mysterious bond between a mother and daughter,but it's there.Absolutely.I understand the complexities of being a female in this world i guess.Ruby may be only a child but she has always been more emotional and complex than her two brothers.Unlike her brothers,who were born barely making a squeak,roobs came out screaming and red faced and not amused!And she didn't quiet down for hours!.So funny.She is not the wall flower type and never will be.So different to me.But I accept the challenge.We have alot to teach one another.

As 2012 starts to kick off I can't help but look at my three rapidly-growing children in amazement.They will be turning 7,6 and 4 this year!No longer babies.Therefore i thought i'd start this year by jotting down alittle about where my kids are at now.I'll start with the youngest,who is 3-our billy-boy:

BILLY is full of energy,
He still sleeps in OUR bed!
He has crazy-curly hair,like his dad's hair...
he does not like having his hair washed!
He is alittle afraid of insects,
He love's our cat's(we have 2).
He loves Thomas the tank engine.

He is best buddies with his sister+brother.
He is a home-body and he tends to stick close to mum+dad when wey're out and about.

He has quite fixed fashion sense for 3,he chooses what he wants to wear.
