Zaccy's 3rd Birthday
Here are the boys at Zaccy's 3rd birthday party! Was at the local indoor playcentre, party didn't start until 3 but we had the grand faluting idea to turn up at 11 so the kids could get some extra playtime. CAN WE SAY EXHAUSTING!!! But the kids had a fabulous time. Much sugar and merriment had by all. AndXave had his first adventure into the land of multicolour balls. The cake was absolutely fabulous! Thank you Bek for making us the best "Humf" cake ever!

Simply Brilliant
Zaccy seems to be, shall we call it intolerant to mosquito bites! Each bite swells up to about the size of a 10 cent piece and causes many a sleepless night with him crying that they hurt as he scratches his skin off each and every one of them. We invested in some anti inflamatory/antiseptic/anti all kinds of nasty things cream which seemed to help for about 30 minutes. But it got to the stage where I would just about have to paint his poor little legs every couple of hours with it to give him any relief. In the meantime I heard a story about how Manuka honey is great at healing all things, so I thought I would give it a try, after all had to be better then overdosing him on this anti everything cream. I stuck a bit of honey on a bandaid, stuck the bandaid on Zaccy's bite and low and behold didn't hear another whimper out of him all night! And it even looked like a normal bite by the next morning! So now we use it for both the big boys (haven't needed it for Xave yet - touch wood).
Anyway... Harrison was explaining to his music teacher today that his Daddy had put honey on his mosquito bite. She asked in a disbelieving voice "did that help?' To which he answered "Oh yes, brilliantly!" with just the right connotation and inflection. Had the music teacher and all the parents chuckling.... Such a little smarty bum our little boy.
