Dear Matthew and Toby
A few weeks back we decided to take advantage of the beautiful Autumn day we were having and went down to Point Walter for a lazy afternoon by the water. It could not have been more perfect weather wise, in fact the whole of Autumn was unseasonably warm (which has been amazing as Toby you are obviously still young and the less colds/flus etc you catch the better). We had a little picnic on the shore and Matt you enjoyed digging in the sand, playing in the water and collecting shells. You also went on the jetty with your dad. Toby, you had a great time sitting on the sand and walking in the water with me. It was also the first time we'd driven you in your big boy forward facing car seat and it's been a winner in improving your attitude towards the car (yay!). I love how clean it looks it the top photo- it's since been trashed :)
Matt, you also started playing soccer at the start of this term. Given you have also been doing swimming lessons this year I was worried that you would be overloaded with activities (given you go to kindy three days a week too, and you're only four), but you kept hounding us so we signed you up to Grasshopper Soccer. You have loved going down to 'training' on a Saturday morning and doing the exercises with your 'team' and daddy (although sometimes need a bit of help taking turns during the 'game' at the end). It's been awesome to see your confidence build over the last year or so, you really have blossomed and I hope you stick at soccer, as it's a sport both your mum and dad enjoy (but only if you like it, of course). I love that you're getting used to listening to your coach and getting to know what it would be like being in a team. These are really important life skills so I'm glad you clearly enjoy sport so you won't miss out on developing them.
Love you boys,
Mum xxx
