Joooo-Lie!

What a massive, massive month!

I went to Sydney twice for work .. in a good way :)

The first time was an emerging leaders workshop which was part of a study run by a consulting group, based on Hogan Assessments. Fairly interesting and really interesting to see how our profiles stacked up against executives included in the study.

The second time was for a workshop about leading talent - mandatory training for managers at work. Was about the 5th time I went through my Hogan profile, however it was good to put it into this context. Even cooler was doing the training with my mentor and being able to take some of the information into our sessions.

Best part about going to Sydney? Well, aside from BEING in Sydney.. Staying with Sparky, Sar and Dash :D

Life outside of work is gearing up as well. Batty's moving the new business forward at a rate of knots and we're fairly excited about everything :) Grungeon is starting to exert her authority as a 2 year old. She's still a really good kid and hell fun to be around, she's just significantly more independent now, which is cute to watch :)

Grunge has started singing everything we sung to her up until now. They're all the classics :P

Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Open Shut Them, Old McDonald Had A Farm, The Wheels On The Bus, Roly Poly. You know the ones ;)

She can also fairly consistently count to ten. Sometimes she needs prompting for a few of the numbers, otherwise we end up with 3,4,5,9 as her effort *laugh*.

Grunge has also moved into what shall now be referred to as an "Almost Big Girl Bed". We took the sides off her cot and put on a single sized quilt (complete with Iggle Piggle quilt cover set). Massive success so far. Our little girl is the one who's excited to get into the night time routine. She gets medicine, then a story, then bed (with Daisy, Pink Cat, Piddle [Iggle Piggle], Puppy, Puppy, Puppy, Bear, Bird [Big Bird] and sometimes Dora or another baby though those tend to get confiscated overnight because they're FREAKY to see instead of Cody). If any of the routine (or bed friends) aren't right, we have a 2 year old moment before bed :P

That's about it for now .. move along people, nothing to see here ;)
