Last week Jamie’s show & tell theme was All about me and my 5 senses. So Jamie donned a white “coat” and his safety goggles and gloves and went to school as Jamie & the Neurones for his show & tell.
The little scientist took some fun stuff (& not so fun smelly stuff) to show his friends.
Sprinkles to taste (YUM YUM)
Uncooked Pasta to hear when the Tupperware is shaken
Green cooked rice (you just add a colouring into the water while you cook the rice) to see the different colour rice and to feel that it was slimy.
And the BEST for last. Cooked eggs to smell. And as you can tell they were rather smelly hence why I didn’t get a shot with the lid off. (I did apologies to the teachers before they even did show & tell)
Life has just been crazy busy and I’ve neglected this blog like a child does with a puppy that’s been around a while.
I LOVE blogging but just don’t have that much free time now so I will blog when I get a free sec. With doing some clean outs at home I finally found the missing weeks from JAMIE’S pregnancy (yes that was nearly 4 years ago). So here it is, always fun to read and remember these special times.
My days seem to fly by with way too much work, things to do, places to go etc which leaves no time for blogging. BIG SAD FACE as I have so much I wish I could share. But for now I will post these awesome layouts I get from my Dear Mom.
I know this a little past your birthday but this world is busy and crazy and i wish I could have a an extra hour a day to jot down all these memories that pass me. A year ago your snuck into the world before you were meant to. You surprised everyone but me. For some reason I have ALWAYS looked at the 15th of September as an awesome date, it just looked good on paper and I guess you liked that date too.
From the moment you were born you showed me how to share my heart and to love another little man like I could never imagine.
You haven’t had it easy my angel. With being admitted into NICU at 6 days after coughing up blood and ending up with Pneumonia, to being admitted back to the pediatric ward at 10 months with the same diagnosis. You have had many doctors visit and after being sick for a little too long and having a terrible reading from the audiologist that your hearing was totally flat you ended up back at hospital for a day to get grommets. Yet through all of this you would never have said you were sick, or in pain. You hardly ever moaned, other than when food was around and it wasn’t in your hand heheh.
From the start you were an amazing sleeper, eater, burper, you name it you were good at it. You just slotted into our little family and sneakily stole the hearts of those around you. Your love for your brother is breath-taking, you can just look at him and giggle. To you he does no wrong, even when he is snatching your toy away from you or stealing your dubbie while you sleep.
Your piercing blue eyes and a little bum chin that appears ever now and then make me just want to squeeze you with hugs and kisses. Oh talking kisses you love given them and maybe a sneaky slap in the face to go with it. You a little toughie and wrestling on the bed is your favourite pastime.
As you turn 1 know that you are the cutest, quite little charmer I know. You make me proud to have 2 boys and I look forward to all the years ahead that you grow and become the amazing boy I know you are going to be. You were given to us for some special reason and we are so so thankful for you.
And I know you are going to get to enjoy many many more years of special birthdays, yummy cake, great friends and a day that is all yours.
To my amazing little boys, this layout brings me to tears. Seeing this I know I must be doing something right in making you brothers with a love like no other. My wish is that this never changes. You are all each other will have when the world takes the rest of your family away. You are the only 2 who will know all your in’s and out’s and your good and bad and the fun and laughter and the tears you have cried as brothers, as enemies, as friend as competitors. Make sure you leave a big space in your heart for each other, because at the end of the day you will always be brothers.
My dear sister-in-law has made a big move as she left tonight to move on up to Leeds, England.
Lynn it’s a brave move, 1 you have been looking forward to and 1 I know you will make a big success out of. It’s sad to say goodbye but luckily it’s not goodbye but rather see you soon.
We will all miss you, but these 2 boys will miss you lots. Skype is always a finger touch away so we they will see you on the iPad soon!! 🙂
The last time most of the McHugh’s were together was December 2010. Lets hope that we (Myself, Steve, Jamie & Brody) can keep up the good name here in South Africa. Have an amazing flight Lynn and you go get ém.
