We are just starting to reap the benefits of having kids close together. Maria and Sam often wander off into a bedroom or outside and play make believe games. The favourites are 'baby spirit' (Maria the owner and Sam a baby horse), 'doggies' (Maria the mum and Samuel the baby), and 'cars' (Maria has the mummy car and Samuel has baby Lightening McQueen... see any pattens emerging?). The way they play is very funny. Maria will say "Baby Spirit! It's time for a nap!" Then she says, "Now Sam, say yes mum I'm off to bed!" Sam then has to reply exactly that way. If the game proceeds as Maria dictates, then all is well. However, if Sam decides to stray from the path, then everything goes pear shaped and it's game over.
Sam has been saying some funny things recently. Every night we say prayers, and I am trying to get him to remember them. I start with "God bless..." and he says "Mummy", I say "God Bless..." and he says "Daddy", and we go through everyone and every night without fail he says "God Bless Lightning McQueen!!".
Sam also asked me recently if the tooth fairy brought Bekah's new teeth.
The other day we went off for a walk and splash in puddles. On our journey Maria found a lively ripe, juicy worm. Imminently she said "Oh!! Don't tell Grandad! He'll eat it in a worm pie!" (The context for this is Nanna always says Grandad would eat anything..even worm pie. Grandad backs this up with a "Oh lovely! A nice worm pie yes please!)
Maria loves going outside when it is raining - she loves puddle splashing and twig racing. The other day she was outside in her raincoat for over half an hour wiping the car down with a window wiper. Her favourite toys at the moment are James (a horse), Baby Spirit (a baby horse), Pinkie Pie (a pink horse), Star Song, which she calls Song Star and Baby Pinkie-Pie. They all go to bed with her a yesterday James had a baby, called Baby James (i think.. or maybe it was Belle - anyway quite a feat for a male horse).
Every day, after Sammy is dressed, breakfast eaten and teeth brushed, he goes to work. He gives Maria a kiss goodbye to which she replies "Bye Sam! Have a good day. Don't be too long!" Then he gives Bekah a kiss, then he says to me "Bye Mum, I'm off to work today. Going to help the poorly trees with Daddy. I've got my chain-sword. Love you! Bye!" Then he gives me a kiss and walks off into the lounge room where he fells a couple of lamps, climbs the couches and wanders around for a while. Then he comes back with an enthusiastic "Hello! I'm HOOOME! I helped the trees with Daddy."
Bekah is very nearly crawling. She gets up on all fours and rocks, shuffles around and can move backwards like a champion. She is an absolute dummy addict, and get so excited when she sees it after being parted for less than an hour. She can say 'Mum-mum-mum' and 'Dad-Dad-dada', 'whoooo', 'Bah-ba', and 'wah-wah-wah'. Her favourite toys are the giant Lightning McQueen cars Maria and Sam have, and she gets really cross and screams the house down if you take away anything she has. Often I see Sam frantically trying to shove a dummy into her mouth while looking extremely guilty after he has taken away a toy she's playing with. She adores the other two, and loves to be on the ground playing with them. She grins and laughs at all their silly antics, making her very popular with her siblings. I can't wait until she can crawl!
