Things of note

There have been a lot of things worth remembering over the last few weeks. Mostly to do with my kids.

Eli's adult teeth.
One morning Eli was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. I was busy doing my own teeth or whatever... Suddenly Eli finishes his teeth, rinses, but then loads his brush up again with MY toothpaste (his is for "milk teeth").

Then he proceeds to scrub his two bottom teeth for a few seconds until I say "What are you doing?". He replies "I'm cleaning my adult teeth...".

I masked my amusement as I realised he thought he needed different toothpaste to clean his new bottom teeth.

Audition time!
In an effort to channel Eli's creative energies, he auditioned tonight (Tues 3rd April 2007) for the part of Oliver in the upcoming DATS (Dubbo Amateur Theatrical Society) production of Oliver Twist.

I helped Eli learn the segment of the song that was required for the audition, and tried to help him keep it all in tune. He did fairly well at home in practice... and apparently it worked well in the audition because he got a "call back" to come and do an extra audition on Thursday night.

I'm looking forward to hearing how he goes. At least he'll be guaranteed a part in Fagan's gang or something.

MAD POWER!
One morning while attending to his little sister (i.e. putting her dummy back in), Clayton suddenly caught sight of a fountain of milky spew errupting from Layna's mouth. On seeing that he dove backwards as though he'd trodden on a land mine. Then after recollecting his senses he exclaimed "That's a mad power Layna!"

In Clayton and Eli's fantasy world, everybody has a super power, whether it's lava, ice, electricity or.... spew.

more to come... (as I remember them)
