School Tales

So Jes has just started school and it's very tiring for the wee laddie - but exciting as well. As to be expected from the lil' energy pop - it wasn't long before he lost his school uniform sweatshirt. 3 days in fact. Conversation between Kirst and Jes as follows.

Kirst: (thinking.. I'll just ask one more time) "Jes, are you sure you don't remember where you left your jumper?"
Jesse: "No. I don't know."
Kirst: "Did you take it off by the playground?"
Jesse: "Maybe." (looking thoughtful)
Kirst: "Well do you remember where you put it after you took it off?"
Jesse: (looking thoughtful, then exasperated!)"Mum! We've been through this before and I don't remember, ok!"

Adorable









Who could resist such creatures? The cat is the latest addition to the Paremoremo Rd family - her name is Madison, Maddy for short.

Liam is adorable as he runs after her, calling "A-addy, A-addy" and then scooping/grasping/grabbing/pulling by whichever part of her he can grab. He gets overcome with excitement, literally shaking with "oooh OOOh OOOOh". The other morning he was seen to be carrying her by one arm (outstretched she's as tall as he is!) whilst she merely set about grooming herself with the other paw. She seems quite content to hang around with the rough-and-tough boy, even so far as being carried around occassionally by the ears.

Jes however, is ferociously dedicated to "My Cat" and every so often is heard to proclaim to all those who attempt to extricate the poor thing from his somewhat ferocious grasp.. "But she likes me!".
