Ciao Olivia!

Our wonderful playdate friends Olivia and Debbie Hill are moving to Singapore! Our Pure Mamas and Babies Group started when Debbie, Grace, Carmen, Maxine and I met at Pure Pre-Natal Fitness classes when the babies were still bumps. We have helped and supported each other through the pregnancy and our babies' first years, swapping tips, great products, surefire methods, recipes, and sharing lots of laughs, sympathy and growth! It was bad enough losing Carmen to a full time job when she resumed her career. Now sadly, one of our own is actually leaving us. At least it is only to Singapore - we're already planning a trip down all together "some time" - it will be a massive playdate on tour!

Last Thursday 25th September, we had our farewell playdate for Olivia. The babies ran riot as usual. This time, they hit the playground together, with Big Brother Jonah leading the way.

And Katy close behind...
The twins were pretty excited about it too!

Katy LOVES Jonah and is always giving him hugs and kisses. They like to hold hands walking along too! Well, Katy likes it, Jonah is sometimes not so sure he wants to be dragged around.

Lola the adventurous twin jumped on the swing.

Jonah and Katy hit the twin slides.


Back at home, Auntie Remy entranced the babies again with a bubble show!


And Katy did her (pretty accurate) impersonation of a Mummy by pushing Jonah around in a stroller with one hand while talking on the phone with the other.

As always, we finished off the playdate with an attempt to get a group photo of Mummies and Babies. As usual, this was a pretty futile attempt...

Previous experience has shown that singing and food bribes can help keep the babies in place long enough for a photo...
...which explains the stunned looks and food stains that usually characterise our baby group photos.


The secret to the sanity of us Mummies in the Pure Baby Group is...


...Dom Perignon...

...and lots of help from our wonderful Helpers Emily, Julie, Juliet, Remy and Mila!

We are very blessed Mummies!
