EVERYDAY MOMENTS: WEEK NINE

Years ago Justin bought himself a keyboard. These days it is the boys who use it for their very special LOUD concerts and dance offs. 

EVERYDAY MOMENTS: WEEK EIGHT

We had planned a mini getaway for ages. Justin had a surfing lesson and a dive voucher.

But after on half a day Jarvis asked if Tamika and 'his Chester" could join us. Best move ever. I got to spend so much time with all of my babies. Tamika got to relax. And Jarvis and Chester got to hang out every minute of every day.

Most afternoons were spent like this. Just lazily enjoying the beach.

EVERYDAY MOMENTS: WEEK SEVEN

Tamika was off at her antenatal appointment. Justin was working on the coast, so it was just the boys, and I, today. With no pool and horrid heat and humidity, we spend ages splashing in the little Splash and Play pool. Best $20 bucks I have spent in a long time.

EVERYDAY MOMENTS: WEEK FIVE (TWO WEEKS LATE)

I actually posted the first two images about ten days ago. For my everyday moments, Weeks five, I called it guitar hero. At first I thought how cute the two boys looked playing guitar, on an extremely hot and humid day.

Seconds after I posted it, I realised my error and whipped that post down.

Opps Chester's t-shirt. I would have given the game away two week too early.

For those of you who do not follow me on instagram... I am going to be a GRANDMOTHER AGAIN! Yep super excited. Baby number two is due mid August. How adorable does Chester look in his Big Brother t-shirt?

EVERYDAY MOMENTS: WEEK FOUR

The everyday moments.  I want to remember moments, moments that are not huge. But those little every day things, things that we forget our children doing. I want to remember, and enjoy, the magic of these moments. So, I am going to join in the 52 Project for this year concentrating on the little, the everyday, the ordinary.

Week Four

I wonder what it is going to be like when life separates these two? Next year Jarvis will be due to start prep. How will Chester be without his older buddy? How will Jarvis be without "my Chester".

Each Wednesday we go to the library for Toddler Time. They will play with the other kids, but always together. I hear Jarvis introduce himself and then introduce Chester. Today a little girl asked if Chester was Jarvis's brother, Jarvis always gives the same answer, "he is not my brother, he is My Chester". 

AN UNCLE AND HIS NEPHEW

I use to be worried about Jarvis being rough with Chester. I never thought to be worried about Chester being rough with Jarvis.

However, I find myself saying at least half a dozen times a day "Chester, gentle hands don't do that to Jarvis". Don't get me wrong, they adore each other, Chester shakes with excitement whenever Jarvis comes near him. I wonder what it is going to be like as they get older?
