Megan is three years and two months old! It's just a couple of weeks before Christmas now, and Megan has already been to several Christmas parties and a Christmas sing-a-long at playgroup!

It's been a very busy term, and Megan has been enjoying swimming, Tumbletots, and football (she's becoming very good at scoring goals!), but far and away her favourite class is her weekly ballet class!

She's enjoying going to playgroup, loves to "help you Mummy", whether that's ironing, cleaning, baking or anything else I happen to be doing, and is a very loving cuddly little girl. Now she's three, she's also left creche and has started Sunday School - she really likes being with the big boys and girls!

Inspired by Aidan learning to ride his bike without stabilisers, Megan has been practising riding her bike too, and is becoming adept at steering, pedalling and braking all on her own. She's doing very well.

She's also been singing lots of Christmas songs, thanks to the playgroup sing-along, and she has been entertaining us with renditions of "Twinkle Twinkle little star" and "When Santa got stuck up the chimney"!!

For more on what we've been doing this month, please pop over to Aidan's five year five months page...

Tea party with Aidan. She likes to practise pouring water from the teapot into the cute wee teacups.

Megan and Aidan now have dual-citizenship, and are now the proud owners of both UK and NZ passports!

Looking angelic for the playgroup Christmas sing-along.

Performing angelically at the playgroup Christmas sing-along.

Megan volunteered to be a magician's assistant at the children's Christmas party run by Daddy's work! She dressed up as a painter (of the artistic variety, and looked very French with her beret on!) and "painted" some amazing pictures!

Feeding nectar to the rainbow lorikeets at Edinburgh Zoo.

Riding the go-kart with Aidan at Almond Valley. She's too small to ride it herself, but Aidan kindly let her ride on the back and they had a great time together!
