I haven't written for a couple of weeks because I have been quite busy and also feeling a little under the weather.

We had a nice visit from Grandpa. Baden is still talking about him. It was nice to see them together. It's funny how kids have a default setting for some people, but Grandpa does send him letters with photos so he is quite familiar with who he is, (well actually Carol writes them and sends them!).

Apart from that I have still been going to TAFE and am thoroughly disillusioned by it. It's such a snail's pace and I like to learn fast. I can't stand it and I seem to have lost my momentum completely and have just sort of lost interest in the whole thing. Even the web design class - it's only one morning a week and the pace is just too slow. I got 99% on a test last week but I still don't really feel like I am learning much. I have dropped one class already because it was boring and I couldn't stand the teacher, and the other classes are so stupid. One class is all about how to get a job and the other one is learning Microsoft Word etc at a snail's pace where most of the class plays Halo and the teacher doesn't even realise. I go to that class once every three weeks or so.

So I feel a bit stuck at the moment, not sure what to do next. The course was supposed to be so I could work from home and/or get a really good job when I was ready to go back, but I haven't learnt a thing. So...dunno know where to from here.

I have been doing a bit of knitting, not much, just another jumper for Baden, without a pattern. I don't need a pattern anymore, its a simple formula and I have done enough of them now. I got a beautiful care package from a friend last week because I was feeling down in the dumps. It was New Zealand chocolate and some beautiful yarn, bamboo merino mix in a deep purple shade. I was very excited to receive it and have big plans for it. I have perked up a bit now.

Baden has a game that he plays where he puts his hands under your hands then flicks them up and yells "puppapoo" or something like that. I keep forgetting to ask his preschool what the hell he is saying, I presume its something from there. Its hilarious. He does it over and over and we still haven't figured out what he is saying. Steve plays it and just yells "puppapoo!" along with him and Baden screeches with laughter, its so cute.

He is so adorable, he comes up and gives me kisses and cuddles and says "hello mummy" with such tenderness in his voice, its so beautiful. The other day he was in the bath and I stepped out to get his towel and he yelled that he wanted to get out because he could hear the music to Playschool on TV, he was yelling "Mummy, want get out, watch paygool!".

LOL, all these things I will remember when he is older. They are such precious moments.
