The Bell Family

It’s been a busy time in the Bell household… lots of work, lots of functions to attend and lots of work around the house to keep us all busy!

We’ve had our good friend Ann visit from Sydney. It was lovely to catch up with her and a good excuse to go out to dinner and take lots of drives! Laura loved the added attention and all the reading! She also loved our trip to the beach.

Laura has become quite the little helper lately and has switched from exclaiming ‘Mummy cleanup’ at the first sight of a mess to ‘time to cleanup, Laura do it” at which she runs to the cupboard to grab either the paper towel or the dustpan and brush! She even gets in and helps with the vacuuming now! Come dinner time, she sets the table with the cutlery, cups, cold water and salt and pepper and then asks for more jobs (her favourite is watering the plants in the courtyard)!

She’s getting excited about the arrival of her new little brother or sister (due in mid January) and often talks to the tummy… ‘baby growing, baby moving’ and asks when she can play with Baby. I don’t think she realises what will hit her just yet!

Laura’s still having a cup of milk at bedtime which we put in the microwave for 30 seconds to take the chill off it… she still says ‘time for milk, put milk in the milk-wave’ and counts down the last 10 seconds!!!

Laura had pink day at daycare to support breast cancer awareness and got all dressup up as part of the action… she thought it was a wonderful opportunity to wear her ‘butt-by wings’ and bangles!

Apart from that, we’ve been spending lots of time with friends and family. Here’s a piccie of Laura feeding her little friend ‘Tyger’ the dog.

Until we write again, best wishes and take care,
