Drawing's

I have no idea when this happened. It seems as though, almost overnight, Wil's drawings have suddenly become a lot more human like. Gaining arms, legs, a body and even fingers and different types of hair in one fell swoop. I didn't really realize it before but drawings are such a tangible way to catch those developmental milestones.

Now that's what she really looks like.

First School Photo

 I love these school photos, the kids always look a bit bemused by the whole business.

I see Liam has been enjoying his new friend. I'm always pleased when a kid actually uses something i've made. I'll have to have a think about something for this lil guy's birthday which will be here in no time.

Children's Museum

We met up with Wil's buddy Claire from pre-school today for a little action at the Children's museum. We normally do a swap on a friday morning but our little buddies Liam and Cordelia have been sick so Shannon has been in hiding til they get better.
All the usual activities ensued at the museum, painting, sculpting and face painting, but with a LOT more gusto. The kids were so giddy to see each other out of school and had a riot and i managed to get a little adult conversation (for a change) with Claire's mama Jessica.

Just a couple of cute shots of the kids at the swap last week.

Giddy Up

Hobby horse take 5 found its way to a special little guy at christmas, as did one of the cozy winter hoods. I've had this vintage floral fabric for a while and it went perfectly with the recycled wool jumper that i used for the main body. I hope Liam has fun with his very own Bullseye.
