January is already half gone!!!!

Yikes, I just realised yesterday that January 2006 is already half gone! It seems that this year too will zoom by before we know it!
We are back from the Gold Coast now and we had a nice time there-was nice to be able to cool off in a pool for a few days. We went to Wetnwild, a theme park here and it is choccas full of water play; slides, pools, fake waves, whirlpools.......it was a lot of fun! There was a special section for the under 10s called Buckaneer Bay and it had all sorts of stuff for the littlest pirates to do. One thing that was there was this huge bucket which periodically filled up and emptied out all over everyone which usually resulted in a lot of screaming! Conor HATED the bucket and even if he could only hear it he started freaking out but a nice hug each time he noticed it put him at ease again! Conor totally loved the water there and was all over the place-every time I took my eyes off him for 2 seconds usually resulted in- "oh no, where is he now?"!! He is just soooo quick, gave me many heart flutters for sure!! Of course Mika and Cody had the time of their lives too and did not want to leave when it was the end of the day.........
Next week it is back to school time already for Mika and Cody-year 4 for Mika and 2 for Cody, they are looking forward to it. Conor is at a different day care now as the other one was getting too expensive and I wasn't happy with the quality of care there in the last couple of months of last year. Conor seems to have settled in well and loves it, and the director there knows my aunty which is reassuring to me! If only the potty training would only proceed as smoothly!! One step at a time I guess!!
