London

Here's Benji standing in the park with his sword. Look out for the sword fight.

Yes that is real grass, I know I haven't seen any for 4.5 months either. Real grass! Wow!
Here is Benji in a playground standing proudly with a leaf he found. Small wonders.
Here's a little teaser to the London movie coming soon. We were there for Sweden's sports break and had a very stressful but fun week in London. For some reason I like the photo above, at Buckingham Palace. Nice natural colours?

Blue Suede Shoes

Havin' A Laugh!

He's actually singing Hakuna Matata, if you can decipher it?

Benji At Home

This started off as a slight take on a Jamie Oliver show and I got all carried away and it finished off as some sort of testimonial, weepy, emotional dedicatory sort of film! I hope you enjoy it anyway?

Undies

From time to time Benji likes to do what he's supposed to do. By that I mean he can sit on the potty when he's supposed to and pee in the right place. When that happens he likes to wear his undies...I love the fact he calls them undies. Admittedly they don't last long before they are in the washing basket, but hey it's fun while it lasts.

Fat beats

Dig this!

Bath time!

Bubbles for the New Year?

These bubbles were just the ticket to ring in the New Year and tasted great apparently!?

Three Generations of Wilkinsons!

Grandad-65 years, Pappa-35 years, Benjamin-2.3 years

Grandad

Grandad Wilky

In true Grandad Wilky style, he informed us of his intended visit to Sweden 3 days before he arrived from NZ, apparently it was an airfare too good to pass up. So we were informed on the Friday and he landed on the Tuesday. He was here for 2 weeks which absolutely flew by. One of those weeks was school holidays so we managed to get out and about and enjoy the autumness of Stockholm, before the snow came, which it did several times during his visit. He surprisingly caught the yoga bug and was pulling himself this way and that every morning limbering himself into unthinkable poses and then groaning and creaking as he untangled himself. He unloaded and washed about 300 loads of dishes and even did some laundry (shock, horror, read all about it!). He seldom ate or drank and wondered why he would succumb to bad headaches and splitting pains in his body (go figure?). All that aside, little Benjamin learnt several new words like "plonker" and "wrestle" and learnt how to say "NO" with real authority, and he also had a super wonderful time with his furthest away Grandad.

Belated Birthday Blog

From the initial "wow that's mine!" to the blowing out of the candles, a priceless series of photos. Here's some more from the party.

Liverpool Red Riding Hood

A little birthday video for xmas!

As I have already said, now I have a week or so of holiday to get things updated...here is a video which is 3 months old, but still a little birthday treat.

Happy

my little boy
