Fat Lip

Check out the fat lip on Connor. Poor little mite ran into the back of the lounge last night (I have no idea how!) and this is the result. He has taken a layer of skin off the inside of his gum too, poor chook. I cleaned up the mass of blood and gore, gave him a bath and then made him pose for a photo...anyone say 'Scrapbooking Mother'? LOL My sister told me that Connor looked like Franklin the Turtle when he was born. What do you think? See the resemblance? How mean is that! Funny though!




This is a macro shot of Connor's favourite Taxi car that we bought him in New York last year. He loves it and takes it everywhere.

This dodgy pic below is the only one I could manage today without freaking my poor daughter out. Mikaela was a finalist in the school public speaking competition in the poetry section. She was selected in year one as a finalist and froze on the day of the finals. She just went solid! I tried to gently cajole her and coax her into doing it because I thought she would regret it, but nothing would budge her. By some miraculous chance her reputation must not have followed her as she was also picked last year for year 2 and did manage to get through her poem. By this year she was a pro but I didn't want to get too close or use a flash to put her off. She did brilliantly. She didn't make the final 2, but she was happy with her performance. That's her teacher, Miss Scott there taking piccies. I must get a copy LOL.
And this one is just because I like it. I find Connor incredibly hard to photograph as he hates the camera but he leaned right into this shot and showed his gorgeous eyes and lashes...all wet from his bath. Funny little guy.
