2006-09-19 My Race!

A: I had my Kindy race last week, and I came second! I was so happy! The boy who came first was at least a year older than me! I also was faster than Hannah, but I should not talk about that in front of her Mummy says, as that is not nice. Mummy and Daddy were so proud of me. Daddy waited outside our house for me to tell him the news! Mummy filmed it, and we watched it so many time! I hope Daddy can put it on a DVD so we can send to everyone. I’ll ask him…

Last weekend we finished the painting in the office, and it looks amazing! We also had Peter come round to tell us about the new floor – the new baby is going to love his or her new room!

Went to the park on Saturday with Daddy after Bunnings, and we played lava! I did the high blue monkey bars all on my own, and I was so proud! Daddy was amazed! I also did some really tough routes around the park, and Daddy was even more amazed!

We did some tennis, cleaned the pool, and had lots of fun! Mummy and Daddy had omlette again – I told them they ALWAYS have the same thing, and they laughed.

On Sunday we had no lunch, so guess what we did? YEAH, I chose Dim Sum! I showed Mummy what I could do in the park – monkey along the high blue bars, and she thinks I really should go to gymnastics classes! Playing lava with Daddy has really made me do some very tricky things in the park!

Daddy went to play touch rugby, and me and Mummy did lots of gardening!

I tricked Mummy and Daddy today – when Mummy went out to Bunnings, I had 2 TimTams with Daddy, and when Daddy went to touch rugby, I had 2 TimTams with Mummy! They found out at dinner – they thought I was a very cheeky one! I still got a treat though…tee hee…

I love weekends, as I also get lots of treats!

C: Am starting to feel better now, finally. I get the odd day when I am exhausted, but other than that, I am feeling healthier! I am now slowing my swimming down though…

The weather is definitely warming up now, and it is lovely that our house keeps cool!

S: Dad’s autograph book sold for £208! Amazing! I think he will be looking for more things to put on eBay now! Even though he is meant to be getting rid of books, I think he may be hunting for more…

Favourite Baby: Waterbottle Bear, with lots of babies inside it!

Meals: Dim Sum, Mousakka, Moon Noodles

2006-09-11 Sunset & Storms

A: We watched the most beautiful sunset on Saturday evening! After we went to The Wild Fig Cafe to have cake and ice cream (so big I couldn't finish it!), we went down down to Watermans Beach. Mummy took loads of pictures of me and Daddy doing really silly things, like counting how many steps it took for the waves to hit us as we stepped one step closer with each wave, having running races, Daddy falling down when he was running (I laughed so much at Daddy!), and running into each other! After that, we sat on a bench, and watched the sunset - beautiful dark reds, and we could see bands of rain coming in from the North! It was amazing! We took lots of pictures! We had a sneaky fish and chips for dinner! YEAH!

On Sunday Mummy went for her swim, while Daddy and I went to the park and played lava again - this time we did even more dangerous climbing! I also held onto Daddy neck when he went on the flying fox! That was funny! I did some riding on my bike, but I was not in the mood, as I wanted to play with a couple of friends I made in the park. We also fed some ducks, and watched some tiny ducklings!

We bought an extra sun umbrella (and 2 new babies) from a garage sale, and then painted the new baby's room in the afternoon - I helped with my very own roller! It was fun. Then I watched rugby with Daddy on TV - South Africa beat Australia, just like I said they would! We did some tennis, then some running races! It was such a fun weekend! I loved it!

C: Aiysha was so well behaved all weekend - so helpful, and so funny! She has this dance, where she puts her fingers on hy head like horns, and sings "I'm a teacher, I'm a teacher" - it is hilarious, and we got it on film! She is one strange bunny!

S: The new room looks amazing, compared to the mess it was in before! Not easy, but well worth it! Our new trees are settling in well, and we've had lots of rain. Summer still not here yet - can't wait, but it is getting warmer by the day!

Favourite Baby: Waterbottle Bear, Big Bird

Meals: Chicken Wings, Fish and Chips

2006-09-08 I Am So Brave!

A: I was so brave this week! I had some injections into my arm, and I did not cry at all! I had an one injection in each arm, and Mummy said I could get a treat after! I also got ANOTHER certificate in swimming, and I will move into the Starfish group next week! I am so excited!

I was meant to be in a running race today at Newborough Carnival today, but the headmaster called it off as the weather was not nice. I cried so much - I was so looking forward to it! I made a cake with Mummy and everything! It will be held some time next week when the sun shines on us again!

I went to tennis today, and met a friend who I went home with and played all Friday morning! Another friend! YEAH!

C: Aiysha was so upset when she heard about the carnival! She just curled up on the sofa and cried! She is finally getting better, and her nose has cleared up.

S: English weather here - not nice! Will be a cold weekend...more training for Aiysha before the big race!


Meals: Prawns, Stir Fried Beef

2006-09-05 Australian Fathers Day!

A: It was Fathers Day in Australia on Sunday! I was looking forward to it all week! I made so many presents for Daddy, and gave them to him on Sunday!

I was so proud! I have him a drawing of me and Daddy which was signed by me, a Chocolate Ape, another smiley face made by me, and I wrapped up the green bat-and-ball ball for him, which was my favourite! He was so happy to receive all of them!

It was a gorgeous day today – soooo sunny! Mummy went for her swim while Daddy and I went to the park and did so many things! We started off eating snacks on the bench looking at the lake and the birds, picking out things we thought looked strange. Then we did some tree climbing over the lake which was a bit scary, and I got a little wet. Then we did some sprint races ready for the big race this Friday. Then I did the BEST bike riding ever – Daddy let go for at least 5 seconds, and I was riding on my own! WOW! Daddy and I then played ‘lava’ in the park – this game involved climbing around the park, not touching the ‘lava’ (sand), but we were not allowed to use the normal paths – it was so much fun, and I did the monkey across the flying fox bar, which was so high!

When Mummy picked us up, we went home, and then went for Dim Sum, as Daddy wanted a special lunch! YEAH, duck skin!

On Saturday Hannah was meant to come for a sleepover, but I was not well at all, and had a temperature. Instead, after we went shopping and had a chicken/omlette lunch, Mummy and I went to pick up a magnolia from the nursery near us, then we went for a bike ride from the end of Ocean Reef to Burns Beach! I was behind Daddy, and we did ‘rollercoaster’ whenever we went down a hill really fast! We stopped at Burns Beach, and I had a rainbow ice cream. We went to the park, Daddy did a big jump, then we got cold, so we rode back – it was amazing!

C: Finally finished planting our plants below the back porch – it looks really nice now compared to when we moved in. Steve wants to grow some vegetables from seedlings, but I think he is a little ambitious!

S: Fathers Day was amazing! We had such a nice day, and it felt really special! The bike ride on Saturday was brilliant! It was really wild, and so peaceful compared to the Trigg pathway! It will be amazing when everyone visits us this year! You never lose sight of the sea - quite breathtaking!
