So cute!

No fanks, he has a ute!

Adam bought a ute recently. The boys are quite taken with it.


We were driving on Saturday and a very expensive, sporty car, a Nissan 350Z, drove past. I said to the boys, "look, there's a car your dad would like!" Hamish replied "no fanks, he already has a new car, it's a ute!"

 And this morning we were driving again, listening to Georgie Parker sing "I Feel Good". One of the lyrics is "so good, so good, I got you!". Hamish piped up, "did you say you've got a ute?" He didn't believe me when I explained the real lyrics, so now he thinks the words are "so good, so good, I've got a ute!" I think we'll be singing that one a lot around here....

A few Hamish-isms

'Constructions' = instructions
'Ear stick'= gear stick
'Forken knife' = knife and fork (always sounds like he's swearing!)

He has funny ideas about what happens at night time. He thinks that we all go to bed at the same time he does (and was quite surprised the other night to find us up watching tele after 8pm). He also thinks that people come into our house and return things he's lost. Eg 'while we were sleeping, Jenny came into our kitchen and put my drink bottle on the bench'. Another theory recently involved Adam apparently driving to Jennys house (which is just over the road!)to retrieve a Buzz Lightyear toy. In actual fact we found Buzz under the lounge and put him in Hamishs bed while he slept. It's lovely seeing him try to make sense of the world!

Small update

I keep meaning to blog more often, but it never seems to happen. So I thought I'd try shorter posts using the iPhone. I like keeping a small record of goings on. So, in short:

Adam starts his new job tomorrow for MPDI, otherwise known as my brother. He's bought a ute. The boys looove it. Mike pointed to it today and said 'mine'!
We've started a restricted diet for Hamish, to try to settle him down a bit. He's always been a live wire but we felt it was getting out of hand. So far with less chemicals and additives in his diet he's more focused, more affectionate and less grumpy. Amazing how much diet can affect behavior. He seems happier which is lovely.
