The feet are made for walking

More exultation is occurring at Chez Seal..... Cameron is starting to walk. This is very exciting. He has a wicked crawl on him, even if he does swing out wide with the enthusiasm of his motion. Now he shrills at us to hold his hands and walk with him. K is getting into it all too, with demands to "help Cameronbear walk!" I must video this. C was initially quite dubious about entrusting his safety to his brother's hands (with some justification I must confess) but now is very happy. After our delightful experience of Hand, Foot and Mouth, and keeping the boys at home for a full week in case K contracted it K was happy, no delighted to return to Kindy. He dashed in the gates bellowing greetings to all, naming them as he did so. And ever since his return to Kindy I get a quick hug and am able to bolt out the gate. What used to be a 15 minute palaver now takes 4 minutes. WOW. So some good came of hand, foot and mouth after all. He is loving Kindy, just having a blast. The weather has been unseasonably warm for winter - so warm my mulberries are fruiting (they are the size of nailheads - tiny!! But not too shabby as it was this tree we bought to celebrate K's birth) and my guava tree has produced its second crop (of 1 fruit) for the year!! Lots of sunny, not too cold days has meant picnics and trips to various playgrounds - great winter weather for all of us. They boys have naturally been enjoying the delights of the trampoline and life has been good to us all. I told Chris there was no point in buying a trampoline in late autumn as the boys would not get a lot if use from it. Shame on me I was wrong. And when the boys are not leaping like loons the cat is esconsed upon it. Having friends over tomorrow. It will be good to see Kym tomorrow. Sadly she wants her toddler toilet seat back so I shall investigate Trademe for something for the boys. Time to start C on his toileting journey and his elder brother can come along for the ride lol. Chris now has firm dates for flying to Germany. He leaves on Sat 20th, but in the evening so the boys will get to see the Gruffalo play with their daddy - yay for the boys! He will be back in September after being away for 12 days.... should be interesting to see how we go on :)
