Storries of The Little Person who loved bouncy things Part I

Once upon a time there was a little person (who's name should remain anonymous) who loved bouncy things. Above all, this little person loved bouncy houses. One day (let's pretend it was a Saturday) this little person's mom realized that someone put up a nice big bouncy house just across from where they lived. Knowing how this little person would just take over the whole thing she did everything she can to keep it a secret............ to be continued!

Great big news

We just found out that we will be having a nephew!!! We are so excited. I always thought (well, ever since they told us they were pregnant) that Bea and Zoltan will have a little boy who will look just like my brother(sorry Bea!). I imagine him as a strong and chubby little bug, with dark almost black hair and an amazingly peaceful face with always a smile on it. Oh, I can not tell how happy I am. I really can't wait to hold him in my arms. I believe the tummy tenant's due date is the 22nd of February. WE CAN NOT WAIT TO HAVE YOU LITTLE FELLOW!!!!!!

And now the second news I have to share.......(drum rolls).... We are moving to New Zealand next June. Will got a job offer from the University of Auckland and we decided to take it. What an amazing opportunity! This decision did not come easy, but we are very excited.

Ben Ben & Auntie Laura

This weekend Auntie Laura and Ben Ben are visiting. Naddie is having a lot of fun with her cousin and it is interesting to see how they get along both of them being the only child.

We took them to one of our favorite beach yesterday and here are the pictures to share.

I have to give a shout out to all multiple children's moms. To be honest I have no idea how you all do it? Here is to all of you.....(Imagin me holding my vodka martini up! An extra strong one!)

Mama, whas that? Bugz? Mama!

I have a toddler who has entomophobia! What is that, you might ask? Well, that is a fear of bugs.
I have to admit I have "self diagnosed" her. It is not from a doctor's mouth. At least not from a real one; not from one that helps people, you know. I say this because I think that Will might have "diagnosed" her before me. Seeing as he is a doctor I even believe him. He is just not a "real" doc. He is one I would call: A doctor without the healing hand.
Anyways. Ms. N has a terrible time around any and every little crawling or flying creature. How could have this happened? When I was her age I took every little hairy, disgusting, crawling or flying insect home. Which of course made my mom very happy! Well, not really. My point is that this is another "thing" that just skipped a generation.
My dear mom is so happy to hear this. She can not stand them either. She hated the times I brought them home or even touched them. She lived with it and even kept cool, but I think inside she was silently screaming, "Get it off! get it off! Keep smiling! Keep smiling! Please make her take this outside! Keep smiling!" That's just my mom.

So here I am! Dealing with a little one who would rather leave the house and run away if there is a spider sharing some space with us. A little one who can't stand ants, even if you tell her how intelligent they are and how hard they work. And really who ever thought lady bugs are cute anyways?
The only thing I ask: How can we cope with it?
