On the twelfth day of Christmas, Monte said to me
โ Twelve months of Isms,eleven rocks in bucket, too hot for t-shirts, new pair of trainers, eight bottles of milk, seven self-portraits, six shakes ofย hose, five steps to bedtime, four balls of playdough,three hours of swimming, two icy poles and …..
enough of the Papparazziiiiiiii!โ
It is my beautiful, beautiful boy’s SECOND birthday today. I feel it is time I gave up the ISMS for fear he might sue me when he is older (please don’t , if you are reading this and are 25 – I love you ).
I have thoroughly enjoyed experiencing life and it’s lessons through the eyes of Monte. Even though I wrote the words, he has definitely been my teacher.
Thanks for sharing the joy with me. I could make Monte-isms forever – but it is time for me, reluctantly, to stop…
Monte says “Bye” (he really did say it when I took this photo) !

Happy Birthday Monte! What a wise old soul you are.
Thankyou for sharing this life with us through your own eyes, innocence is truly bliss.
Happy birthday beautiful boy!!! What a lovely book of memories Mum has created for you, and one day when you’re all grown up and you read these, I bet you’ll love her even more than you do already.
Happy Birthday Monte & what a lovely present these ISMS’s will make when you’re older.
Thanks for sharing the wisdom, Monte xx
Happy, happy birthday to both of you! x

A very Happy Birthday to Monte though a lil belated..I wish him all the world’s happiness and a fun filled life. I can’t agree more with all the comments above me and I surely will miss his -Isms the most! What a sad discovery, today when after so long I came on sharnanigans!!!
