New students, noises and other ramblings..

As you can see from above, I suck at finding new titles for posts!!! ;-) I have some new students who I will be teaching twice a week from this week. They are 3 (nearly 4) year old twin girls. One of them is very sweet and co-operative and the other is a bit of a monster (from what I can tell from one class) but I can`t complain as their parents are paying me quite nicely to come and teach their daughters. The best thing about this class is that they have a 2 year old sister and an 8 month old brother (their Mum has obviously spent the past 5 years pregnant) so I get to take Joey along and he can play with the other kids. It is good for him as he doesn`t really have many opportunities to play with other babies and I think that kind of interaction is very important for him. I think he gets pretty bored just hanging out with me all the time! He likes the computer though, as you can see from this pic:

On Saturday Jenn and I hung out in the afternoon. She really helped me out because I have been feeling so tired and fed-up lately (probably because it rained for most of last week). I love staying at home with my son but I get a bit fed up of being solely responsible for him. I know I am not technically a single Mum but some days I really feel like one. Anyway, on saturday Jenn helped me run errands and carried Joey around for me (which was a BIG help because he is so damn heavy..) We had alot of fun and even managed our traditional trip to Starbucks!!

I have been spending alot more time (read: FAR TOO MUCH time) nosing through other people`s blogs recently and everyone seems to be doing this trivia thing so I thought I would have a go:
