Hello Sailor

how are you going? Swimmingly I am sure, lol, lame joke, I know.

Matt has been practising going up stairs upright. He holds my hand and has a hand on a rail or wall and does one step at a time. Matt is very cheeky in the morning when we are leaving for school and likes to get out the door and run up the road. He thinks it is hilarious.

Scott and I stayed up last night to watch a show on the ABC about homeless kids in Surry Hills. It gave us an opportunity to discuss drugs and alcohol and he reassured me that he won't be smoking or taking drugs, but he will drink. So I emphasised the importance of being sensible about it and used you as an example (you have a few on the weekend, but you aren't silly about it). Glad to know where he stands on these issues and I hope he feels a similar way in the future (I'd be quite happy if he decided not to drink too, lol). We talked about some other stuff too but my mind has gone blank.

Scott got his needle yesterday. He complained about his arm hurting a bit. He said when the nurse was getting ready to give him the shot he kind of shuddered so she handed him this little toy, we thought this was really funny cause he didn't know what it was for, so it seemed really bizarre.

Will is cool. He has an email address now so he feels all grown up and is looking forward to getting some mail (hint hint).

Work is good. I have a headache, I am looking forward to going home in a few hours. School holiday activities start next week so it will be a busy time. My brothers arrive tomorrow and stay until Wednesday.
