2006-10-04 Our pool!


A: We finally swam in our pool! It was so funny! Mummy was not well from Friday until Monday, so me and Daddy had to keep ourselves busy over the long weekend! We did so many things! On Friday, Daddy took me to tennis, and I did some running aeroplane wings for the first time, and I did really well! I also hit Daniel a few times again, which made me laugh! We decided to risk going into our pool - it seemed a little cold, but we were really brave! Daddy got the video camera out, and was going to film me going in because he said it was too cold for him, but as soon as we were next to the pool, he decided to get changed and dived in with me! We ran out immediately to warm ourselves on the rocks, and then we dived in again! We did this so many times! We found one frog in the pool, and we thought it was Kelly, the frog who sits in our pergoda.

On Saturday we were going to Perth Zoo with Hannah! Beck was watching the Grand Final between Sydney Swans and The Eagles (the team I just decided to support), so we took Hannah to the zoo! We started off in African Savannah! Daddy pulled us around in a little buggy, and at first Hannah and I did not get out, but Daddy insisted we get out, and shouted 'All Aboard!' When we had to get in. We saw Giraffes, Rhinos, Elephants, Koalas, Echidnas, the biggest 6 meter crocodile underwater, fish, monkeys, pelicans, squirrels, meerkats, and so many more! It was amazing! I recognised so many of them! At one point, our buggy got stolen by some boys without us noticing, but a man on a bike found it for us. We also went on a huge merry-go-round, and we sat on the horses!

Hannah had a sleepover, and Daddy sat in our room again until we fell asleep. We asked him why he had to stay, and asked him to go, but he did not. We also woke up at 5.30, and Daddy again had to sleep in our room until 7.30. It was fun though. It was sad dropping Hannah off on Sunday, and she cried a lot. I had a good sleep at the strawberry park too.

On Sunday I went strawberry picking with Daddy again. I ate quite a lot of strawberries - oops. I also did some huge jumps off the swing! Daddy kept on moving the line I jumped to further and further away, but each time I jumped to it! I played catch on the climbing frame in the Edgewater park with big children! Because of playing lava, I could climb everything really easily, and the big kids couldn't catch me very easily! When they chased me on the sand, I was quicker than them! When I did get caught, Daddy and I were a team, and we caught someone else - it was the best game of catch ever! Afterwards, I met Grace who I met before - she is a few years older than me, but likes playing with me, and talking. I like her.

On Monday it was hot again and we decided to go in our pool again! This time we found 2 frogs! I named the second from Melly, and they swam around as we dived in! I got my bodyboard, and my noodle, and made a train using them, as I paddled on top of my bodyboard - it was really funny. I put on Daddy's rashy and called it my dressing gown - it was so warm! After that I went with Daddy to Mullaloo beach - there were so many people there! After playing lava in both playgrounds we walked along the beach as the sun went down - we played poison waves, and I threw sandballs at the waves to stop them! They were so powerful! We walked until the kiteboarder, then back.

I also went to Bunnings this weekend, and went into the park. I asked this girl if I could play with her, and she said 'No!'. Daddy asked me what was wrong, and I said that the girl did not want to play with me. The girl then went to Daddy and said that I couldn't play with her because I couldn't do the things she could, and started teasing me. She asked Daddy why I kept following her, and he said 'Because you keep teasing her'. She climbed up the slide, and Daddy told me to show her, so I ran up. She crawled through the monkey bars, so I did. She hung on the monkey bars, so I did AND climbed up to the platform. She tried to copy me, but struggled. Daddy then said 'Why don't you show her how to do a summersault?', so I hung on the monkey bars, and did my summersault. She could not do that, and I smiled at Daddy. I was very proud, and she stopped teasing me. Daddy was very proud and told me so, and told Mummy aswell. Daddy does not like people being mean to me...

C: I'm finally getting better now. I'm sad that I missed out on the pool this weekend, but hopefully next weekend it will be hot!

S: Thank you to everyone who send me lovely cards for my birthday! My presents included books on frogs and snakes, and a birdhouse for our garden - getting to be a bit like my Dad now...oh dear, hope I'm not showing my age!
