We have no news, and you know that no news is good news!!
Jasper has his bone marrow biopsy coming up after Easter, but other than that, all is good!
He is loving his new school and doing really well.
On the weekend we caught up with our friends Helen and Ray at Kings Park. We have not seen each other for a couple of months, and the boys had a big cuddle when they saw each other.
Here is Jasper on the big dinosaur at the park..
Here, way off in the distance you can see a little red spot, that is Jasper when he ran to Ray when they first arrived.. very sweet.. I should zoom in on it, but hey, use your imagination!!!
We had a stinking hot day here on Sunday, and as part of the normal weekend routine, Jasper and I go to the local markets to do the fruit and vegetable shopping for the week. There is a $2 shop that he always likes to spend his pocketmoney at. This week he had spent his pocket money on a present for his girlfriend (more detail below), and so I bought him the $2-shop thing.. he decided on water balloons!
Paul, Jasper and I went out and threw about 20 at each other... I was the loudest screamer and the one that got the wettest!!!
Then Jasper's big brother came home, so round 2 for Jasper began.. I took photos of this one. It was so funny!
Here are the boys putting all the water balloons in a bucket - prepared for battle!!!
They did not burst too easily, so Brent is chasing Jasper around the front garden and squeezing the balloons over him! Jasper was running as fast as he could and laughing hysterically!!!
Getting wet... he gave up running - it was VERY hot.
I am an evil mummy... when Brent and Jas had the balloons in the bucket, they had the bucket filled with water as well... when all the balloons had been burst, I told Brent to get the bucket and tip it over Jasper.
Jas did not hear, so I had him distracted with picking up the balloon "casings". The water was pretty cold! Lucky he thought it was funny!!
This is payback. Brent is a good sport and kneeled down when Jasper threw the bucket of water back at him!!
Ok, so the pocket money this week... Jasper has had a crush on the same girl for over 1 year now. They no longer go to the same school, or see each other very often, but she is still his number one!!
He has been wanting to buy Talea (that is her name) a ring for the last 6 months or so (because apparently that is what you do when you get married.. hmm). I finally let him, and here is what he chose!
It is a sparkly pink butterfly! So cute. He has been practicing getting on one knee when he gives it to her! I dont think he will do it though - I hope not!! He is only 5 1/2, so a bit young to commit to a life long relationship!All I heard all weekend long was "when is Talea home, when can I see her" etc etc... from first thing in the morning to last thing at night.
I was getting pretty fed up with it. It is cute, but get over it already!!! He is going over today after school for a play and to present the gift!!
I will post again at some point with the BMA stuff. All will be good. I know it! He is the healthiest little thing in the world, and we are very lucky!
Thanks for reading.
