2007-04-26 Aussie Barbie!

Aiysha: More visitors last week! monday was Olivia and Karen, who stayed for so long, until the afternoon, even though it was meant to be morning tea! Tuesday was Jill, Beau and Ben - we met on the foreshore, and went on scooters! I fell off and scratched my face, but it was worth it! Ben held and pushed Clary bean everywhere! On Friday, we me Eve, Alana and Matthew at Heathcote Park, and played hide and seek.

On Saturday, Mummy and I planned a surprise for Daddy - we went to Whitfords Nodes Park for an Australian Breakfast! Bacon, eggs, mushrooms and bread! It was yummy! Daddy then played ball games while me and Mummy watched him. Mummy and I went for a walk along the beach while Daddy looked after Clary. On Sunday, we did so many jobs around the house, and dug a hole for mummy next the the palm in the garden. We want to plant something to hide the big house...

Wednesday was Anzac Day, and Mummy and Daddy told me all about why we celebrate it! Very important! I asked Daddy, Mummy and Clary to sit at the wall facing the frog house so I could do a performance! I did it, and it is on video! It was funny, as Daddy played his guitar, and I sung! Mummy and Daddy laughed so much! We went to a bike ride when it was almost dark! We cycled down to the park, and I rode on Daddy's handle bars down a really steep hill! Mummy couldn't watch!

Clara: I loved watching Aiysha in the frog house! She was so funny, and sang along with Daddy's guitar! I met so many people this last two weeks, it has been so fun! Daddy has started scrummaging with me, and I laugh everytime he does it! I have started sleeping in my cot now, and I love it! I am too big for my bassinette...I also love suckingmy thumb! It's yummy!

C: Aiysha's show was hilarious! Running round and round the table, laughing and singing! What a performance!

S: I can't believe it has taken 2 years for our first Aussie Breakfast! It won't be 2 years before the next one!

2007-04-16 Sk8r Girl!

Aiysha: We had a very funny weekend! While Mummy and Daddy did garden jobs on Saturday morning, I played babies! Daddy then took me to swimming where I did really good breathing when I did front crawl - I sad that I can't do it in my pool now! We then decided to go to Leapfrog's for lunch and play some golf! Lunch was lovely, but "they really did put too much vegemite on my toast". I then went around the golf course - I got a hole in 1 on the first one, and everyone was watching! Really funny!

The storms came in on Sunday, and it rained, and rained, and rained so heavy! I went out in my umbrella, and boots, and jumped around! It was so funny! We were going to go to Mandurah crabbing, but decided it was too wet, so Mummy, Daddy and Clary took me to rollerskating for the second time, and it was excellent! I finally got blades, as they didn't have blades last time, and after a shakey start, I was going round really well. Daddy walked around with me, and Mummy was really good on her blades! I want to be like her! I had so much run, and the sock race at the end was brilliant, even though I ran into another girl and made her cry.

I love roller blading! I even told Grandma Sik about it on the phone!

Clara: Mummy and Daddy and Aiysha took me to a really dark room with really loud music, and shouting! I watched my big sister put these things on her feel, and roll around, and fall over sometimes. I thought it was a funny place, but also very relaxing, as I fell asleep.

C: Getting a bit chilly now! I will miss our pool! We need solar heating! Clary has started feeding only once a night (just!) - we'll see how long that lasts!

S: Aiysha takes an hour to eat dinner - she talks so much!

2007-04-12 I Want To Ride My Bicycle!

Aiysha: I rode on my bike so much over the easter weekend! It was really funny! Daddy thought that I should have a go at getting to Neil Hawkins Park, and I really wanted to try! Mummy gave Daddy and I a lift to the lake, and then we set off! Daddy was in the lead to start with, then I over-took him, and we raced all the way to Neil Hawkins Park! I didn't fall off once! When we got there, Mummy just got out of the car! She was so surprised! We helped Mummy and Clary out of the car, then we walked down, and carried on cycling until we went past the field, and then we turned back. I almost didn't make it, and was a little upset when I couldn't make it up one of the hills, but I made it in the end! We spotted Mummy on her walk too! We decided, after a little rest, and playing in the park, that we would cycle home. I was so proud of myself. Daddy said that it was even further than Auntie Lizzie cycled!

On Saturday, we decided to park the car at our nearest park, Mummy would walk to Neil Hawkins Park with Clary, and we would cycle there. We got there so quick that we turned around, and went looking for Mummy. We spotted her about halfway, turned, then went back to the jetty to wait. Mummy walked really quickly, and when she got there, she took us to a French Cafe where I had a lovely biscuit. Next time, Mummy said we would have a cake! We watched lots of people carry cakes out of the shops, and Daddy and Mummy were licking their lips.

Daddy took me to play tennis on Sunday morning, which was really funny, as we played goalie, and poison ball.

On Monday, Mummy was not feeling too well. Daddy took Clary and I down to our nearest park, well, I cycled there! Daddy and Clary stayed at the park, while Daddy gave me targets to reach on my bike - I was going so fast down the hills! I met a girl who was 4 - her Daddy was so impressed when I mounted my bike, avoided a dog and 3 people on the path before cycling home. Daddy then took me to Mullalloo for a walk in the afternoon, and it was the funniest! We started having races, then we played poison waves. Daddy then tried to play tag with the tennis ball we had. On the way back, we looked for treasure - we had found these little seaweed bubbles, and when we found then, Daddy and I got really close together, and we squeezed them to see how loud they popped! It was soooo funny! I told Daddy that this was one of then funniest walks I've ever been on! He had fun too!

Clara: I pushed myself off my changing mat this week! Won't belong until I turn over and crawl!

C: I look forward to my bike rides!

S: We were amazed at how well Aiysha can cycle! Something that we've always wanted here to do is cycle round the lake, and now she can do it!

2007-04-04 I'm The Bike Rider!

Aiysha: I can ride on my own! Finally, I can push off on my own, and Daddy and I chased each other around our close! It was really funny! I still struggle to push off, as the bike is a little big for me, but if I go downhill, it is really easy! I am so proud, and happy! Mummy and Daddy recorded it on video too!

Daddy had an operation on his teeth last Thursday, and he has fallen asleep on my bed several times when he has been doing pat make sure. Poor Daddy - I've been making sure I take care of him.

The Easter Bunny came to my school on my last day, and I found his footprint, but didn't see him. He left loads of easter eggs though! It is easter this weekend, and I can't wait!

Clara: I am smiling so much now! Daddy and I had a conversation - he talked, and I grunted to him several times. It was funny!

C: I don't believe Daddy had a conversation with Clary! My friend Kelly came with her daugher Ella, and we had a lovely day together! Not warm enough to go in the pool though...

S: Went to Western Force on Friday, even after my op, and it was the best game so far against the best South African side the Sharks! We won convincingly.

Meals: Spaghetti Bolognaise

2007-03-26 So Many Seeds!

Aiysha: We spent a lot of the weekend picking up seeds from the palms! The bin was so full! Daddy even chopped a branch full of seeds, and he could hardly carry it as it was so heavy!

Daddy took me for tennis on Saturday, and he took me for our own lesson at our nearest tennis court on Sunday! It was really fun, but really hot! Mummy and Clary came to watch, and they said I did some really good hitting! It was fun, and I can't wait to go again!

Mummy was pretty tired on Saturday, so Daddy took me bodyboarding to Mullalloo beach for about 2 hours, which was so funny! We caught some really big waves, which completely covered me! We ended up making sandcastles, which was really funny, as Daddy made a turtle head!

The pool was really cold this weekend, but Mummy still did her exercises. For a treat, we went on our yearly trip to KFC! We watched all the people driving into the drive-in, which Grandma Sue would love to do!

I finally let Daddy watch Charlie And The Chocolate Factory - I didn't really want to watch it, but when I did, I loved it, and I asked Mummy and Daddy so many questions about it after, just like after we went to the cinema! I can't wait to watch it again!

Lauren came to play, and stay for dinner. We played very nicely, Mummy said, and she liked Daddy's special beef dish. We did lots of pretend play.

I had my first assembly with the school today! We were introduced to everyone, and we sat right at the front! The prefects did a Teddy Bear Picnic play, and a chaplain with a funny hat taught us about the virtue 'tactfulness' - I could learn a lot! Mummy, Clara and Daddy came to my assembly, and I was so proud!

Clara: I am starting to smile now - the Wigley family make me laugh so much!

C: Not nice now that the pool is colder - we need our solar heating to work!

S: The beach was lovely, and the sea was so nice to swim in, even though it was a little cold.

Meals: Boiled Chicken, KFC, Special Beef, Moon Noodles

2007-03-19 Teddy Bear Picnic!

Aiysha: This week I went on a Teddy Bear Picnic with Mummy at school! Clary came along too, and it was really fun! I had to bring a bear, so I brought Harry along. Clary brought mole along, so I was happy as I wanted to bring him!

I also went to Alexis' place to play which was really fun!

I was really upset on Tuesday night, as I had lost my reader, and my booklist! I could not understand where it could have been! We all looked everywhere - Clary even looked in her nappy! I cried and cried! Luckily, I got a phonecall from Alexis this weekend, and she said she found it! It must have fallen out when I went to her place to play! I was so happy, and I could talk to Alexis on the phone!

We went to Matilda Bay for the first time in a long time, and Daddy went windsurfing. There was not much wind, so he came to catch jellies with Mummy and I, and he dived off the jetty too! We had a nice coffee, and I had an ice cream! MMMmmmm, lovely, I love Matilda Bay!

Clara: I loved Matilda Bay! Can't wait until I have ice creams!

C: Poor Aiysha, losing her reader! Unconsolable!

S: Went to Western Force this weekend, and it was a late start so Aiysha could not come. We won by 1 point - last kick of the game, and it was our first home win - it was quite amazing!

Meals: Chicken Wings, Moon Noodles
