It's a public holiday here today; I've appreciated having James around for an extra day. The weather is wet and cold, and we're running out of things to do with the girls. I took Juliet to the dinosaur exhibition at the Museum on Saturday, and the girls and James visited Dorothy this morning. It's hard work getting Juliet to be quiet during Heidi's nap, so James has taken her out for a walk in the rain somewhere. She loves getting rugged up in her gumboots and raincoat, so we're all happy.
Heidi has yet another cold. I should post when she doesn't have one - that's more the exception! She's been having some trouble sleeping and her appetite isn't great. She's happy enough though. She'll be turning 18 months next week - I can't believe it. She now walks all the time (albeit like a cowboy who has been in the saddle for a long time), and has about 50-60 words at a guess. The girls are definitely becoming more challenging. Juliet's turned into a rather full on loud, boundary-testing 3 year old, and the 2 of them fight all the time. Unfortunately Heidi is now old enough to want to do whatever it is that Juliet is doing (and vice versa), but they haven't quite mastered the sharing/turn taking yet.
Juliet is in the process of transitioning into kinder at the moment. She loves it, as we expected. It does mean that she is no longer with her favourite carer (who stays in the toddler room), but she's coping OK.
