Hugo
At least one of us is...

If any of us mentions that we are from South Africa, Hugo corrects us by saying we are from Australia.  He has whole heartedly embraced the moment and insisted on purchasing this T-shirt which has now been worn for two consecutive days.  He does sit on the beach and look out to sea and tells us that his grannnies and grampas are on the other side with a big sigh.  He asks me often if Aunty Gail is coming to visit us soon.  This has been an overwhelming experience for a little three year old who is trying hard to be a big boy like his brothers and understand everything.  Whilst on holiday he asked us when we are going to stay in our other white holiday house.  He can't quite grasp that we have bought the house and will be moving in permanently.  For Hugo, the house we are in is perfectly suitable and besides, we have only just unpacked.  He does have a point.

His sunny little nature and affectionate way warms him to everyone and he happily climbs on to any available lap.  His swimming has progressed at a staggering rate since "big milestones" and he is now diving to the bottom of the pool, taking breaths, jumping in from the deep end and swimming all over like a little seal. 

He is full-on and loves wrestling, any sport and taking on his brothers at any game or fight!  He eats for the A-team and has a zest for life that we can all learn from.

Hugo is still clinging to his afternoon nap and is snoring away right now which gives me a chance to blog.  I suppose when you go full steam ahead all day, your batteries do need frequent charging.
