Magnus is 3! He is 106cm tall and weighs about 20.5kg
Magnus had a super fun third birthday party on the third of the third! The build up to the party was interesting as Magnus was saying for weeks that he only wanted Mummy, Daddy and Bronson at his birthday and didn’t want to invite any friends, I’m not sure what that was about as he loves birthday parties!?! He came round, and was very excited to have 12 friends for a party in the morning. We had a bouncy castle in the backyard and had a fun little treasure hunt in the sandpit. The cake was a train cake (of course!) which I impressed myself with, after 5 hours of production it turned out pretty good. Magnus was most thrilled with his new scooter from Granny and Grandfather, and he loves that it is just like Max and Jonty’s. We had a wee picnic that evening with Turkish takeaways down by the inlet with Granny and Grandfather and we were very lucky to have Auntie Pip and Bianca with us for the day too. After so much anticipation the day was over all too quickly. Every now and then Magnus will saddly say, “I already had my birthday”…another long year to wait for the next one!
Magnus now goes to Kindy 2 afternoons a week. I think Magnus’s favourtie part about going to kindy is that we take his friend Katie (who lives across the rd) with us, and he gets picked up by Jane (Katie’s Mum), or even cooler… Katie’s Dad…Paul B! The first 2 weeks Magnus seemed to settle in really quickly and easily, then the tantrums started. He would cry when we were getting ready for kindy and say I don’t want to go to kindy, I struggled to get him in the car, and out of the car once at kindy, and would have to leave him kicking and screaming with one of the teachers. It was pretty awful for both of us, but once I left he was quickly over it and happy for the entire kindy session. So that told me he did enjoy kindy, he was just a bit distraught about Mummy leaving him! So we perservered and after a few weeks the tantys stopped and now he gives me a kiss and says “Mum you go now”! He loves playing in the outside play fort/pirate ship, that he has seen across the fence for the last year and dreamed about playing on!
Mama was here to take me to my first day at kindy
Icecream to celebrate the first day of kindy!
Magnus is still at Pukerua Bay preschool on a Tue morning and really enjoys Mainly Music on Monday mornings. Bronson goes to preschool on Wed mornings so Magnus and Mum have some nice one on one time that morning. Thu and Fri mornings are generally free for us to catch up with friends, go to the park, ride trikes/scooters around the lagoon or just play at home. So life is good
