The big news of course is that we are expecting baby number 4 (sex to be a surprise for all). I am now almost 28 weeks so about to hit the third trimester. All is going well and we are very excited. Our big challenge is coming up with names we both like.
Sofia is doing great with her potty training and is now in big girl underpants. She is a talker and still a little diva, but very entertaining (except during the tantrums). She like to ride her bike (with training wheels) and is constantly asking me “what are you doing?”, or “what is that?”. She just soaks up new things like a sponge.
My little Leo had his first hair-cut this week. His beautiful ringlets were hanging down into his eyes so had to go. He has always refused to have his hair combed so we knew it would be a tough call to take him to the barber. So, Christos did the hair-cutting deed whilst he was in the bath. He screamed as every strand was cut – like he was in pain. So now he is like a shorn sheep but still very cute – Christos did a great job considering he was working the scissors with a moving target.
Eleni is about to go into pre-kindergarten at school. She will be one of 17 kids with 3 teachers. She has to do some State assessment in September and then again in May so they can work with her strengths and weaknesses (goodness – she is only 4 years old!). One of the teachers (Miss Theresa) is supposedly wonderful, especially with arts and crafts so this should suit Eleni. Eleni has also discovered jigsaw puzzles and I am amazed at how good she is at them. She has a real eye for detail and loves to sit on our bed and do one after the other as fast as she can.
Christos had his birthday on 6th August and has been busy with work trips – San Diego and also New Orleans. I am just busy looking after the kids and wishing it would cool down so I can get out into the garden.
