Six on the sixth.


Today Niave celebrated her 6th birthday! It's weird how when Abigail turned 6 I thought of her as bigger than I think of Niave now, I suppose your youngest will always remain your 'baby'!

Now in her last year of pre-primary - grade R as it is known, she is growing up so quickly and loving learning new things and doing "work" (which isn't actually work!) and is gaining more and more self-control with each year that passes. She is still a melt-down kid and plays the "spoilt younger child" role brilliantly, but now that she is 6 we are standing for less of that!

Her favourite thing at the moment is letters and Letterland, we have to play "I Spy" everywhere we go! And she's pretty good at it!!


This year her birthday fell on Good Friday (for the second time) and so it was a quiet day. We were up fairly early for presents and then off to church. Most of the rest of the day was taken up with party preparations however they were treated to a Spur visit with Ouma and Oupa, giving me time to bake in peace!!

Big eyes! A new up-to-date Letterland book!

And the much sought after BIG box of Playmobil!!

I love this series of pictures below, the transformation from Younger group on the left to Older group on the right is quite remarkable and a true picture of how her personality has changed and matured:
Happy Birthday to our toothless wonder!!
