Sending good vibes to @simonoye on his first day at kindergarten.
— @philoye, 6 February 12, 8:02AM

Coming home from @simonoye 's graduation from Kindergarten. #proudmum #teary

Me: "is that rice bubbles up your nose?" @jessicaoye: "no it's weatbix" in the most matter of fact way. Sigh.

So proud of my little man @simonoye. He built this lego car all by himself. He is 4 y/o, box says age 7-12. http://yfrog.com/gyzs1lwj

@simonoye riding a bike for the first time. http://t.co/DZRPgjJ

Achievements in the Oye household this week: @simonoye can ride a real bike and @jessicaoye is out of nappies. Oye power!
— @jenioye, 3 April 11, 3:04PM

Non-parents look away... @jessicaoye just did her first poo on the toilet, woo-hoo! On our way to 2/3 toilet trained. I'm quite excited :-D

My new favourite song: "Itsy bitsy spider… up above the world so high… A B C D E F G H J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z!" #mashup

"I need to poo," asked why, "otherwise it'll come out when I eat too much!"
— @simonoye, 10 July 10, 6:07PM

I like peas.
— @felixoye, 31 December 09, 4:12PM

I kick ass at jigsaw puzzles.
— @simonoye, 23 October 09, 6:10PM

Thanks for biting me, @felixoye. Now I have a Harry Potter mark on my forehead.
— @jessicaoye, 4 September 09, 8:09AM

I'm calling this a milestone. I can feed myself with a spoon, though I still seem to make an equal mess. http://flic.kr/p/6V2wQK
— @felixoye, 3 September 09, 8:09AM

It is official, I am an artist. http://yfrog.com/5echewjgj
— @simonoye, 19 August 09, 8:08AM

I now have two words in my repeatable, on-demand vocabulary. Oh-oh! (as in "I made a mess") and Ta! (Australian slang for thank you).
— @jessicaoye, 12 August 09, 2:08PM

I have been sick. I think I'm better today so I put on my cute party dress.
— @jessicaoye, 7 August 09, 7:08AM

Yesterday I set the all time record for amount of conjunctivitis goop in ones eyes. Today I have a new tooth. Didn't sleep well last night.
— @felixoye, 7 August 09, 7:08AM

I was a little out of sorts on the weekend, and now I have fever. Must be the shots. Not happy.
— @jessicaoye, 3 August 09, 4:08PM

I'm helping my dad @philoye build an Ikea chest of drawers. I particularly like the screwdrivers.
— @felixoye, 1 August 09, 1:08PM

Just got my 12 month shots too. @felixoye thinks he's cool cause he didn't cry, but I was just as cool, calm and collected.
— @jessicaoye, 31 July 09, 12:07PM

Just got my 12 month shots. Dunno what my mum @jenioye was worried about, hardly even felt it.
— @felixoye, 31 July 09, 12:07PM

At childcare, they asked me what my parents did for work, I told them “mommy works in a tractor!”
— @simonoye, 28 July 09, 8:07AM

Hmmm, birthday cake with blue icing. My hands and mouth are stained.
— @simonoye, 26 July 09, 3:07PM

The animals at the zoo are pretty cool, but nothing trumps transport. Trains, ferries, and cable cars FTW!
— @simonoye, 25 July 09, 12:07PM

@philoye thinks it was bad luck that we missed the ferry by a few minutes, when it fact it part of my elaborate plan to get ice cream. Yay!
— @simonoye, 25 July 09, 12:07PM

It isn't even 10am, and I've already been on a train, a ferry, and a cable car! Now the zoo!
— @simonoye, 25 July 09, 9:07AM

I am going to the zoo today! I want to see elephants!
— @simonoye, 25 July 09, 8:07AM

I suppose since @felixoye and @jessicaoye are on Twitter, I should be too.
— @simonoye, 22 July 09, 8:07AM

I have discovered a far more elegant way than Felix of transitioning from standing to sitting. A slow slide into the splits works wonders.
— @jessicaoye, 20 July 09, 8:07PM

My dad is brainwashing me by forcing me to watch the Yankee game.
— @felixoye, 18 July 09, 11:07AM

I have two teeth! Unfortunately they are both on the bottom, so that porterhouse will have to wait.
— @jessicaoye, 1 July 09, 9:07AM

@clairelrowland I can crawl a whole metre! At least!
— @felixoye, 5 June 09, 5:06PM

Watch it @felixoye. Don't get too uppity, I can still take your toys away from you anytime I want.
— @jessicaoye, 5 June 09, 4:06PM

It is official. I can crawl. @jessicaoye, you're 10 minutes older. What are you waiting for?
