he seems reluctant to say goodbye...

Another recollection of an average day...
Cleaned and bathed Aidan
Dressed Aidan
Soaked Aidan's clothes in Napisan. Poo stains. Eww.
Fed him breakfast
Made my own breakfast. Gave him some of my breakfast since he wanted some.
Picked up my shed hair from the bathroom floor - with hands. No vacuum cleaner.
Drove over and collected the x-boxes from Terry
Put Aidan to bed
Made appt. to see GP tomorrow arvo
Cleared emails
Called Vera to remind her about documents for her wedding
Unloaded the dishwasher and stored away crockery and utensils
Brought bins in
Collected mail
Made Aidan's lunch
Ate my lunch
Fed Aidan his lunch and some banana
Ate a mango; fed some to Aidan
Cleaned up Aidan's lunch mess
Kept removing Aidan from kitchen - training time!
Did Aidan's laundry
Arranged for Aidan's ticket reissue for his flight to Singapore (Aidan spelt as A-I-N-D-A-N on the e-ticket!)
Emailed Aunty Kim the responses she needs for House church admin
Updated Flybuys address
Applied for concession on our water bill - so we can save some $$!!
Wrote fax cover for Aidan's ticket reissue (with him screaming in the background...)
Changed Aidan's bum (still screaming...)
Sang songs with Aidan - incy wincy spider and twinkle twinkle little star
Hung laundry to dry - with Aidan's help! (he pulled the wet clothes out of the basket and passed them to me. Until he got distracted by a clothes peg...)
Put Aidan down for nap
Planned weekly meals
Packed up Aidan's playtime messes
Did Italian homework
Put Aidan to bed
Cleaned up after dinner
Was supposed to bake scones for my class party tomorrow, and do the ironing, but I'm exhausted! Phew!
In other news, he's walking really well now! And I love it when he keeps saying "oooohhh!" in a really surprised tone at everything - his guys open wide! And just now, I found him in the courtyard (he's never been in there actually, I keep the door locked), really quietly, silently, dumping pebbles into the deep storm drain.

Sigh...
Re·lief (noun) \ri-ˈlēf\
Defined as the feeling that washes over you when you discover that though your baby has fallen off a change-table that's waist-high, he is all right.

Firsts
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I've been pretty busy, but I do have many wonderful pictures and videos to upload - if only my poor iBook has the hard drive capacity for it! Yesh...it's dear little memory bank is almost full.
If you've read the Twitter feed however, you'd know that the little tyke has taken his 1st few steps! It started off with him pushing himself up on his feet, then tumbling down. Then a couple days later, another try. Then a couple weeks later, 3 little steps (L-R-L!) and plop onto the floor. He can walk steadily when you hold his hands and he totters around. But the feeling of euphoria when he walks on his own! 5 steps at Westfield Doncaster (outside the Alannah Hill boutique to be exact), and 5 more at music class 2 weeks ago. Then a whole heapful of walking and tumbling around in Stevie's living-room prarie (with Faith standing by laughing her little head off), and now he's up and about! He's getting better and better each day. Bravo bello! Bellissimmo!
Speaking of which, our Mainly Music performance last Thursday was fun! As expected, Aidan bopped around and looked a little lost while the other kids sang along to the music (no, nobody was dressed as singing vegetables, although there was the appearance of a giant koala at the end), but we had fun, and even got presents at the end!
Anyhoos, when I can finally d/l the pics and vids onto my computer, I'll post them up!
Three weeks till Christmas...and Singapore!!
