One of Liam's recent interests and words is "digger!". It's a bit like "star" - anywhere he sees a digger or anything that looks like a digger he shouts out "digger!". Very cute.

So I took him off to Mt. Roskill to see the new highway that is being built. The workers are still levelling the path and slicing through the soil, so I knew there would be diggers and all sorts of machines around. Even on Saturday afternoon we got to have a good look.

i have been abit slack with the blog entries since being away-mainly cos i didn't have access to my own computer and since being back haven't gotten into the swing of things again.

Liam really developed with his talking whilst being in Sydney, mainly because he had alot more stimulation and exposure to adults talking to him all the time. He says a few more words now that i mentioned in the last blog.

The gallery2 module is hosed for some reason, probably due to a couple of updates I ran earlier, so for now the gallery is temporarily offline. The gallery and drupal trees have both had fairly substantial updates today.

today we went to como park for a bbq lunch. it's a lovely park near the water down at como and has a swimming pool and a lovely new play area for the kids and new bbq facilities too.
we went and had coffee afterwards near the water at a cafe and i then tool liam for a walk along the wharf and we looked at jellyfish in the water.

well it's been quite a while since my last blog entry..but we've been busy of course.
went got back from the farm with my parents and Reuben the other day. Liam enjoyed driving the tractor on Daddy's lap! and the car for that matter on Pa's lap.

We flew in at about 10:30am local Sydney time today, a pretty uneventful flight. Liam did make me laugh though as we were taking off going up through the clouds, it got a bit bumpy. Mum was giving me dirty looks about the plane being knocked about, meanwhile Liam thought it was funny and a couple of times after a bump shouted out "Yaaaayyy" and started clapping. What a contrast..

today Joyce and myself and our two boys went a free love to sing concert in Ellerslie. Liam clapped his nads to a few of the songs and bopped and wiggled away-he's quite an Elvis the pelvis when he wants to be!

Liam was in a good mood tonight, and surprised us with two things that we never thought he could have done.

The first was with the computer. I know he is always keen to use it, but he must really take in what goes on because we put one of his games on tonight and he was glued to it. It's a CD with a whole lot of games for kids his age and a bit older, and one of them is all about dragging and matching the shapes. After me showing him a few times what to do, he was into it, no help whatsoever. Dragging shapes, fitting them in with the patterns etc etc and looking VERY confident with the mouse.

Today i had an appointment so Justine from Play centre minded him for me. She said he was such a delight. He played with other kids there more than he usually does and did a painting and even ate someone elses lunch as well as his own!
