Growing up at Nixon St

While we were up in Hamilton we enjoyed time with our grandchildren - Theo now 4 1/2 and Claudia 9 months. While we were there Claudia had to go for her enrollment at the dentist so Jackie and Theo introduced her to the mysteries of cleaning her teeth (all 2 of them - razor sharp)

I thought I would introduce Theo to the mysteries of macadamia nuts by cracking a few with a hammer - not a good idea and a very expensive lesson for me. Thank goodness it wasn't Theo's eye. And Sean the glazier was a great source of entertainment.

Duncan always enjoys a bit of rough and tumble with the kids - however his meagre hair covering was sorely tested by this game!

Theo had just had his tonsils and adenoids out, but it didn't stop him talking and it was only in the morning that he seemed to be sore - although he was on fairly constant painkillers. So it was good that his appetite was returning.

Playing trionimos after doing a jigsaw puzzle.

Pesto, cheese and tomato crackers.

Playing Minecraft with Grandma. See that nice green dragon that gran made.

Claudia models the pretty jacket that Lyn knitted.

Claudia is into serious eating now. It takes quite a while to select, study and trial each new sensation. Isn't she a little poppet!!
