Here we all are at the Fairfield boat house.
Nicholas, Fiona, Paige, Ethan, Lucinda, Audrey AND Eric!
It took 2 cars to get us all down here!
Quite Happy with the Zebra
Lucinda’s first Sentence
This morning Lucinda came in and spoke to me her first sentence:
“Sometimes daddy goes to work and I miss him.”
Clever, heartbreaking poppet.

As I post these photos of Lucinda, I can hear Ethan going through his reader with Fiona, spelling out words for the first time. I cant believe that’s really happening.
My new favourite picture of Lucinda
The sound of Clouds Rubbing Together
Lucinda and Ethan are both afraid of thunder.
This morning there was a storm a few miles away, and the thunder was approaching.
Lucinda was frightened: “what’s the sound? what’s the sound?”, and clung to my leg.
We talked about how thunder was the sound of clouds rubbing together
and how it meant rain was coming.
We sang a song about not being afraid of thunder, and stamped our feet.
Then, I said that even though Lucinda wasn’t afraid of thunder any more, I thought Caterpillar might be.
So Lucinda spent the next five minutes comforting caterpillar,
singing the thunder song to her and explaining about
the sound of clouds rubbing together.

Ethan has started cropping and editing photos himself. He cropped and edited The 5th and 8th photos in this series.
Lucinda’s baby comes out too
All the while Fiona has been pregnant, Lucinda has also “had a baby in her tummy”. I’m proud to tell you Lucinda has informed me this morning that her baby has come out too.
Name: Ivy
Weight: 150g
Born in the traditional way: from a child’s imagination.
Many Lucindas
her cuteness herself.
