hello and welcome! long time no speak yada yada lol! i thought it was about time i updated this thing, blow the dust off the keyboard etc.

lets start with the exciting news first!

ali can officially walk unaided! it looks so weird when he’s walking. it’s just like having our own little mini me! so cute. he’s just getting more and more confident everyday. please see for yourself at this link to a video i created.

i hope you liked it! his next rank will be talking! god help us! he’s already picked a few words he can perfect.

(by the way, if for some reason you can’t be bothered to read these posts, they will soon be broadcast in audio form as podcasts, so you can listen to your heart’s desire! like i do with stephen fry..in the bath…ha!)

i am driving,

yes, you thought you’d never hear those few words in the same line ever, but yep i’m officially learning to be on the road! and to be honest, i think it’s going spiffingly well! in the last lesson i successfully managed to do the emergency stop procedure, that was fun!

- i have to pause for a second because nikki has just locked me in the room where i’m typing this post, which is rather inconvenient. what if i need to go to the toilet!!!!

i’m going to wrap this incredibly short present of a post up now for another day, where i can spill out my guts with all the ins and outs of my life to you all!

 

peace to you all, hope you have a great 2009!
