Mommy's Birthday




Mommy was working night shift on her birthday night, so while she was sleeping Rachel and Daddy took a drive to the shop and bought a cream cake and candles. The candles were lit and Mommy was called from her sleep. It was a lovely surprise and Rachel really enjoyed blowing out Mommys candles, as well as eating some of the cake.

Rachel the Ghost !





Well what can I say exept maybe she wants to be white! Rachel loves playing with powder, but Mommy has band her outside with it. This day she had it everywhere, if she wasn't wearing a babygrow I'm sure it would have been on her legs and arms was well.

The fairy Princess






Dress up time for Rachel, thanks to Aunty Eve and Evangeline, who can't wear the outfit as yet. There is also a Wedding dress as well. Rachel loved it the only problem was that the wings were a bit big. She also thought that she was a biker fairy princess and want riding around on her bike. Mommy didn't think that that was such a good idea so that didn't last that long. We would have hated to destroy the dress before her cousin would get a chance to were it. Using her wand she really put a spell on all of us that was watching her prance or bounce around in the outfit.

Daddy made me a Rocking Horse




Daddy really enjoyed making Rachel this Rocking horse, he was so proud of himself which was rightly so. He used an old crate that was left in the vagant plot next door and made it completely from scractch. Daddy still needs to sand it down and paint it, but Rachel loves it never the less. It doesn't rock at well as the genuine thing but Daddy thinks that its safer that way.

Great fun at Top Tots !




Rachel loves going to Top Tots, she enjoys the singing and the playing of the musical instraments the most. She loves the painting and that day they were making a tree, a big green Tree, with apples, lemons and cherrys on it (stickers were used) and then placed in a painted toilet roll that was also painted, Brown. Great fun was had by all.

Quality time with my Cousin



Rachel loves spending time with Evangeline. If the dummy comes out of the mouth, she will pick it up and put it straight back in the mouth, even if her cousin doesn't want it in. Rachel is even getting use to Mommy holding Evangeline without performing like her home is in a tree. So when her other cousin comes in December things should be alright exsept for the sharing thing.

Potty Training has begun



Rachel has been started on her potty training at School, were they put her on a potty everytime when she wakes up from her sleep. They said that they don't force the kids and when they are happy to sit and stay, they are normally ready for potty training. So Mommy decided to do the same at home. Everytime before being put in the bath, Rachel is put on the potty. She weed a few times but then she went through a phase when she didn't want to go on the potty at all. Mommy didn't stress and now she is back to asking for the potty. Mommy does find it very exhausting as you have to stand and watch because otherwise, its running down the passage and peeing in the lounge. But all a learning experiance.

Visit to Saxon Cresent.




Mom has taken so long to update this blog, that these pictures date back to at least one month back. We went to visit the cousins, New little Tessa and Kaitlyn, were very happy to see us. It was a great visit and it was nice to catch up with the comings and goings of the other family.

In Daddy Shoes!




Rachel loves getting into everything, from the dirty washing to clean washing and even shoes, especially shoes. She puts them on and walks all over the house, Mommy doesn't have a problem with that, if she wore both shoes at the same time but no, its normally one shoe and then she leave it where she has had enough, so finding a pair of shoes in this house is a bit of a mission impossible.

Mama Africa





Rachel loves being on mommy's back, and Granny's crocheted blanket came in very useful when Mommy was getting tied of carring her on the back by herself. It is now a regular thing, every now and then Rachel asks for "Uppiss" but she show Mommy that she means the back, not the front. It freaks Daddy out a bit, because she won't stay still, so we try to avoid the back "uppiss" now. Rachel now also likes to put Barney on her back like Mommy, using a Dish towel, it works pretty well.
