Number 2!

Oscar will have a little brother! Bizarrely, the latest due date by scan is 26 September - same as Oscar's birthday. Thankfully the doc said the head was normal sized.

Here is proof of Number 2's masculinity (as seen from bottom up):

Oscar performs! (Sort of).

Oscar started nursery in January, 2 mornings a week. So far, he cries bitterly when I leave him, but reports say, it's not for long and he is soon enjoying himself.

Last Friday was International Day where the kids get to where national costume and sing songs in front of their parents.

But what to dress Oscar in? Matt unhelpfully suggested the English national costume of a hankie with knotted corners, a string vest, shorts and socks with sandals. Instead, I made a St. George's flag t-shirt for Oscar, coupled with a pair of Chinese silk trousers.



I think we can all agree Oscar looks very cute!

His teacher told me that Oscar was particularly good singing their chosen song, and a very adept performer. Unfortunately, faced with a live audience, stage fright must have taken effect, because poor Bubba spent much of the performance backing away from the stage and trying to escape the clutches of an adult helper. Nevertheless, he rallied at the end for the finale:



(BTW, as you can see, they got the flags muddled up.)

You can spot how good a performer Oscar REALLY is by this short snippet away from audience eyes:



After, Oscar enjoyed some nice arts & crafts with daddy and nainai.




Well done Oscar!

Ride like the wind

It's only taken Oscar a month to get a hang of!
