LISTENING TO THE KNACK

Justice and I were listening to the radio while driving to work this morning and MY SHARONA came on.



"How did these people make a song about my Sharona?"

We got to work before the song ended, but had to stay inside to wait for it to finish. He is not impressed with the idea that someone else made a song about his Sharona! I have no idea how to tell him the song is older than she is... He has always loved music, and dancing (see video), but this was a particularly extreme reaction!

As for my reaction - listening to the song with Justice in the car made me realise that the lyrics may be a bit racier than I had realised! Sort of like the first time I heard "Greased Lightning" and paid attention to the lyrics, though not quite so outrageous...

A 4-YEAR OLD'S TAKE ON THE BIRDS AND BEES

Justice had a playdate yesterday with his little classmate Gus.

Gus is the youngest of four, and his parents are self employed. Therese, his mom, home offices, and she actually claims that having Justice for a day's play allows her to get more done (the boys do get on well and self entertain - but as a mom of one, I never see how more is easier!).

Anyway, while he was there for the day, Justice informed Brian (Gus' dad) where babies come from:

"When a mom and dad love eachother very much, they make a baby."

"My mom and dad don't love eachother anymore, that's why I don't have any brothers or sisters."

GETTING STARTED

Okay, I am seriously considering giving in to the pressure and beginning our family blog. As Justice is the focus of our family, and our family works constantly, it makes the most sense to have the blog focus on Justice and our business.

The Just Loaf Bakery is on Main Street in Beenleigh, Queensland. Our family business has been open for THREE YEARS, serving the local community with delicious breads free of preservatives AND ADDITIVES. We open our retail shop Tuesday - through Saturday, while our wholesale deliveries run Monday - Saturday.

We now employ an apprentice and a shop assistant in addition to Will and I both working full time.

Justice is our 2IC and he LOVES being Daddy's apprentice! He is quite skilled, and these days when customers ask him "Are you going to be a baker when you grow up?" he replies "I'm ALREADY a baker!"

His plan is to be a professor of medicine when he gets bigger. As he can identify how many bones we have, name some and explain the function and process of lungs and heart, I am really starting to believe him!

We all tumble along in this work driven life, Justice attends preschool across the street from our bakery three days a week, and "works" in the afternoons everyday. On his "off school" days he spends the morning home wearing out Daddy before coming to help in the shop (so Will can sleep). The bakery keeps us constantly busy, but has been doing really well. Wholesale business has been steadily growing the past month - almost to the point of booming, which is exciting and exhausting. We're just trying to keep up with it all!
