La la la




James and I looked after my neice and nephew last Wednesday night. We took Pumpernickel with us to explain James' new pump. Apparently we didn't need to explain it... but we must have had the whole purpose of an insulin pump wrong, as the conversation went like this...

James pulled his pump out of his pocket and Tommy said: "Cool - a new phone! Can I play a game?".

Laura pulled Pumpernickel's pump out of the bag he comes with and walked around the house with it to her ear saying "ahhh.... no.... ohhhh...".


On another note, I thought I'd share one of the funniest things that Tommy said yesterday. Mum, Dad, Jules, Tommy, Laura and I all went to the Opera Australia open day. We watched a performance of Hansel and Gretel, went on a wardrobe tour, tried on some hats and clothes. Tommy was very good on the tour which would have probably been quite boring for a five year old, however, we were able to keep him interested by continually telling him that we would see 'James' mum' soon! Anyway... on the way home, after a VERY long day, Tommy was in the car and he suddenly said "Mum, why aren't Liz and James on 'singing with the stars' instead of Paulini and Simon?". Yes, he has heard us sing!!!

Unfortunately I don't have any photos of Laura - she had to go to sleep - however she did start saying a new word yesterday - "awake".
