1) According to Caleb, the baddie in Aladdin was VERY bad, because "he took Aladdin's hat away, and wouldn't give it back - so the genie gave it back at the end of the story". Forget suffocating princesses in giant hourglasses, and randomly turning into a snake - the thing that makes Jafar a true villain is apparently his hat stealing.

2) Nathan can stand up and walk a few steps!

3) As far as Josh is concerned, the past tense of "dig up" is "dig upped". As in "our back garden was dig upped".

4) Alex's favourite book to read at my house is still I Wish That I Had Duck Feet, several years after he could only request it by saying "Ducks!" and only sit still for two pages. He is, however, quite happy nowadays to alternate between Duck Feet and Where's Wally.

5) Michael has the cutest smile known to man.

6) The boys are loud, messy, impossible, and exhausting, but I still love having them all here. They're so great!



*takes a moment to rest before cleaning up the total bombsite that is the aftermath of a quiet day at home with the lads*

That's sweet. One of my nieces, when talking about who was going on holiday would say "myself and Tom'sself and Dan'sself." Brilliant how they construct rules for language on the fly like that.
