Some of the classes at Sam’s school visited Wiri Central School on Wednesday, and he’s been singing a few waiata since then. This is the first verse of his favourite, Ehara i te Mea, which I remember singing when I was in primary school.

Which came first?
So it’s been ages. Mostly I can’t remember how to use the website and I never use the big computer: I’m always using my phone. Anyway. Hi. Now that I can update from the iPhone, I hopefully will use this more regular-like. Cute story time: Sam and I went to the Matakana Country Park the…
Four Beaches and a Birthday
As most people (reading this) know, my 30th birthday was a week ago tomorrow. Samuel and I were in Whangarei that weekend (a story for another time), so I spent my birthday with my parents – I think possibly the first time in a decade. We had a very nice day – I did a…
Slide Video
Another short one: a little video from a few weeks ago of Samuel playing on the slide (there’s a head, shoulders, knees & toes segment, too), when he first started climbing the ladder on his own. Again, video from the still camera, so not great quality and no audio. There’s a small version (33 MB)…
Flashback #3
One more for today – there are two more prepared videos, which I might get to tomorrow. This is a little flashback to when Samuel first started walking. The video quality isn’t great, since it was taken with the still camera rather than the video camera (and whoever was shooting it – I don’t remember…
Caught red, blue and green handed…
Last week, Samuel figured out how to climb out of his cot (he was back in the cot for a while after we moved, to makes things easier during the Internet drought of 2008). His room at the new house has a door that he can’t open (actually, no-one can open it from inside), so…
Stay tuned!
In brief: We moved. I was promised a home phone line and Internet connection either the day we moved or a couple of days later. A week and a half later the phone line appeared and the Internet order has had to be redone. Moral: avoid TelstraClear at all costs. I’ll rant about them elsewhere,…
Sleep, or a lack thereof
So it’s been over two weeks since Samuel switched to sleeping in a bed. The first two nights went really well. Unfortunately, things haven’t really continued that way (at night; during the day has been ok, although we’re still staying with him until he’s asleep). On the Thursday he started getting up shortly after getting…
Bedtime
Samuel changed to sleeping in a bed yesterday. He had his last night in the cot on Monday night, and attempted to have a nap in the cot on Tuesday afternoon (turned out that there wasn’t any sleep). After that, we took the side rails off the cot, and swapped the foot for the shorter…
