Niamh is now walking as of yesterday afternoon- at 13 and a half months. I'm so happy for her! She has done a couple of wobbly 'don't realise what I'm doing' steps on the 1 May, but it's all clicking into place now and she's off :) She's been a competent crawler- to sitter- to pull up- to sit again- up- down- up- down mover for a few weeks now and has been doing a bit of balancing on her own....so I knew it wouldn't be long. We were all ready for her by gating the place and putting kiddy locks on everything! It's so baby proof we are singing the Get Smart anthem just to get through the house ourselves!
Niamh is doing really well at daycare. She has lots of 'friends' who come up and see her when she arrives- so cute! She just loves playing with the musical instruments and loves dancing to music. She is such an explorer when she plays- giving things a try together to see how they might work.
I have started at Harrisville Primary at the start of this term working 2 days per week. It's going really well and am in the new entrance class on Wednesday with 7 children, and the year 1 class on Thursday with 13 children. Those class sizes I can't quite believe! It's working perfectly with daycare though so I can't ask for better than that.
We have been busy lately with Easter get togethers, the V8's in Hamilton, Poppa's 60th, Mothers Day and Anthony's moonride weekend in Rotorua. Next month we are off for our biggest rode trip with Niamh...down to Stratford for Queen's birthday long weekend. Should be fun :) Watch out Denise!!
