2008-01-11 Our Christmas Holiday!


























Aiysha:
Wow! We had such a funny time over our Christmas holiday! Daddy took some days off, and we had six days together!

We seemed to decide where to go by looking at the weather on seabreeze.com, and as the wind was quite strong in the afternoon, we decided to go to the beach in the morning after Cloggy's sleep, and to have fun in the pool in the afternoon! It was great fun, and we played so many games both at the beach and by the pool! We played games like poison wave, seeing who surfed the furthest up the beach (I always won that!), catch in the pool, bombs, diving under to collect leaves and doing lengths.

Daddy also gave me some snorkelling lessons in the pool! We tried to do some snorkelling at Hillary's Marina, but the water was too cloudy to see anything. Mummy said we could go to Trigg one day and that it would be amazing! I can't wait!

I managed to use all my presents, from my artwork, to my books, to my music player, to my jewellery, it was great - I am so grateful for all the presents I got at Christmas. Mummy and Daddy also found my All About Me book which I have not seen for a long time, and I had forgotten I had. Since we found it, I have read it almost every night. It makes me laugh a lot, as there is a picture in there of Uncle Dave, and I keep calling him Doufus!

Cloggy has been really good, and I have had lots of fun with her! Mummy lets me carry her around the pool, which is so nice. She loves the pool, and we play lots of games, and I sing her lots of songs!

On Sunday, Mummy and Daddy said I had been soooo good that I could choose what we did today - I was so proud! I chose to go to Hillary's Marina, and to go on the big water slides at The Great Escape! It was amazing, and I loved every minute of it, even though it was a bit cold! I can't wait to go again, and I gave Mummy and Daddy a big thank you for letting me choose what to do!

Alana, Matthew, Eve, Dan and Inga came to our house on Thursday, and it was brilliant! We spent the day on the waterslide and in the pool! I had so much fun! I also went to watch Daddy play touch rugby, which was really nice! It was a beautiful evening.

Clara: I absolutely love the pool! Mummy, Daddy and Aiysha play so many games, and they always take turns holding me and pulling me around the pool!

I managed to say "Aiysha" to Daddy, Mummy and Aiysha too, which is my first real word! I was so proud, and now I can call her whenever I want!

Mummy is stopping my morning sleep now - boo! And I am also now brushing my teeth! Double boo!

When we were playing Piggy in the Middle in the pool with the huge ball, Mummy accidentally threw the ball in my face, and I fell back and hit my head. I did not enjoy it, but Mummy was very sorry. I still love playing games through.

Aiysha has started brushing my teeth now! I like chewing my new toothbrush!

C: We accidentally put the diving toy down one of the pool holes, and I spent ages getting it out because I float too much! Aiysha and Daddy were laughing at me so much! We've had some really hot days, and our solar pump is working great! Top temp in the pool has been 36 degrees! Amazing!

S: Touch Rugby was hard, and we could have done with Dave being there! We struggled to win, but it was a great game. Luckily, we scored a lot of tries before we ran out of steam. Two of their players got sent off, one for almost rugby tackling me twice! Plonker.

Treat: Homemade Mango Milkshakes!
