Mechanic Moshe
For some reason it is more interesting to Moshe to turn his truck upside down and put things in the bottom than to sit on top and actually drive the thing.
Savita's first self portret
Note the red mohawk. I hope that is not a sign of things to come. Ah well, at least she is smiling.

Van de wal in de sloot
Good help, that doesn't climb the structure you're trying to construct while you're still working on it, is hard to find.
Look at me!
Look at me, I am standing on the tire swing!
Pff.....that's nothing, look at me, I am climbing a tree!

Rockslide
Ivar kun je je nog herinneren dat ik niet wilde dat je de berg via de rotsen af klom bij ons huis? Hier is de reden...
Kwam net thuis en een van de grote rotsen is naar beneden gevallen. Het grootste rotsblok is ongeveer zo groot als een kleine auto.
Bit of a rockslide next to the house this morning. We've had a lot of rain and one of the huge boulders that has been leaning precariously for the last couple of years finally rolled down the hill. Will have to get busy this afternoon to see if I can support some of the bigger boulders to keep them from falling too.

Moshe proofing
I have been making steps down the hill at the front of the house and Moshe has gotten into the habit of walking up to the edge at the top and throwing things down. Since it is a 15ft sheer drop we were a little afraid that one of these days he'd throw himself down with the sticks and stones. We figured a railing from bamboo would do the trick, so I set out to make such a railing. We thought it would slow him down just enough for us to catch him.
Not so, instead of walking up to the edge he now just climbs down the path. The other day we lost track of Savita and Moshe for a split second.
We found them together at the bottom of the hill, where Savita is in this last picture. We're now thinking of just buying both of them crash helmets.

3 yrs old
Prepping for the big day. It is hard to believe that the baby in the picture above is the same as the girl in the last picture of this post. Time truly flies.
The Cake: Chocolate of course
Princess Savita on her steed. Because she just got the bike this morning we let her bike inside the house before going to school. When Savita came back from school, I'd already put the bike outside to her dismay, she wanted the bike back inside. I told her no, because bikes belong outside. She wanted the bike inside, because she was afraid the tires would get dirty.
We were asked by the school to provide a couple of pictures for her birthday celebration at school. So we put some pics together and made it into a little book for the teacher to read to the other kids in the class.
With a full set of hair
and a little pop she was there
Out of her mom's belly she came
Savita was her name
She would eat, sleep, poop and pee
and now all of a sudden she is three
First Savita had to learn how to crawl
roll over like a ball
She'd try to walk, wobble and fall
On her first cake
one candle was all it took
Is that chocolate on her nose? Look!
Savita figured out how to walk
and my goodness TALK
She now also has a little brother
and sometimes she thinks she is his mother
Birthday number two of you know who
Guess what kind of cake? Come on, guess
If you said chocolate I'd say, YES
Savita now pastes, draws, sews,
and whatever else who knows
Three years old today
Hip hip hooray
We are wondering what to bake
Maybe we should make.....
