Loving Smiles.
Especially gap-toothed dimpley ones.
Loving that this smile is because...

...we were about to play a family game of garden football, and little sister is so excited to be in her brother's team.

It's a serious business. We must win at all costs.
Of course there are always tears. but I am still loving
Family Garden Football.

Loving hugs. And brothers.
Loving that Dash gets to interview an All White this afternoon thanks to Kiwi Mummy Blogs and Persil.

Loving that the football season is starting again and Dash can just ride his bike around to the training ground.

Loving the Toileting Adventures of Super Scrag.
This guy is unbelievable.
For months and months, not a scrap of interest in being a Big Boy.
Then three days ago, I put him in undies, not expecting anything more than puddles on the floor.
And what does he do?
He figures out when he needs to pee.
He takes himself to the loo, and does wee after wee after wee.
All day. In the same pair of undies all day.
The only accident was at the door to the toilet when he couldn't quite make it in time. Bless.
Then yesterday he does Number 2's. There is dancing in the toilet!
And last night? Last night I heard a little voice at about 10pm.
And there he was. His night nappy on the floor, dry.
He is standing blinking in the light having woken himself up to go pee pee.

I am all for waiting til they're ready. Man. This is too good to be true.
GOOOooo Super Scrag!

Loving the Parenting Place.
{Loving that I get to hang out here with the Lovely Lyns and Delicious Rangi}
Great coffee. Delicious food. Super cheap prices (cheaper and McCafe).
Toys for the kids to play with and stacks of space to spread out and run around.

Loving this beautiful rocking horse handcrafted....

...by the legendary parenting guru, Ian Grant, himself. Can you believe it? Amazing.

Loving that I got to shake hands with Ian!
And say, oh I am writing for the magazine... did you read my stories?

And that he said, yes Mary and I loved them. Thankyou so much for contributing.

Loving new webfonts - and finally found one I love for here.
And there was one more thing...

Oh yeah. I figured out how to put a post divider in. I had to fiddle with the html and everything.
