His own man

We've only just said goodbye to Grandma yet we're already planning our next adventure. On Friday night we depart for Australia!

I'll be flying out with Nikki and the wee man, staying in Sydney for a week to celebrate Kim and Priscilla's wedding. Alas, I have to return to work a week later but Nikki will be traveling up to Brisbane to spend a further three weeks with her Australian family.

What, with me having just returned from a week in the UK, it's none stop travel in this household!

It doesn't seem to be doing the wee man any harm though. In fact, it's quite the opposite. He's coming on at such a rate these days.

After pressing the elevator button the other day, he exclaimed 'Ernie pressed it!'. And then when we got home this evening, Nikki went to park the car by the stairs but then realised she should've really parked by the lift as she had a few groceries in the boot to carry up. As she started to turn around in the carpark the wee man said 'Try again, mama'.  And then, as she was straightening up in the parking space (tight fit) he said each time, 'Try again mama'. 

And again tonight, he went into his bedroom and Nikki followed him in to do something. He turned around, pushed her towards the door and said 'Get out!' 

We're seriously in trouble!
