The following is a list of all entries from the The Boy category.

Thomas the Tankshun

Let me start by saying that Noah has never seen a single five minute episode of “Thomas the Tank Engine”.
Never.
Not one DVD
and has never placed his hands on someone else’s models or tracks.
That is why I am amazed that he has told anyone who will listen (including his ride - in car ‘Rocket) that for […]


Wheezy, wheezy…

Not to be outdone by his sister’s recent hospitalisations, Noah decided to drop his bundle today and with oxygen sats in the high 80’s earned himself a trip to the hospital in an ambulance.
Abandoned by our paediatrician, once more, we hospital hopped from the local, rural  ER to our secondary in our trusty ‘am blue […]


All this and then…

Ivy made it through the night but left in the wake of a sleepless, sick child, is her mother, who feels barely a human, let alone a human capable of looking after many.

David and I have been having a ‘heated discussion’, so this obvious favouritism erks […]


Noah the funny, Noah the cute!

Mummy: “Are you a sexy beast”?
Noah: “I not a sixty beast. I Noah Yilliam Androo Trickensa”!


Car by association.

Noah loves cars.
Loves them.
He is, quite simply, a car head.
Like his father - who can identify the type of car at night by the shape of the headlights. (Scary but true).
Noah identifies each and every person by the kind of car they drive and addresses them accordingly…
He doesn’t know the type (yet) but he has named […]
