2009-05-26 Cockman House and Mummy Helper

Aiysha: I cannot believe Mummy and Daddy have been helpers two weeks in a row! I am so happy! Mummy came in with Danielle's Mum, and we had such a funny time! I know Mummy is working so hard on her course, but it is so nice she finds time to come in to my class! She deserves a smiley!

A couple of weeks ago, Mummy suggested we went to Cockman House on Ocean Reef Road. It was really interesting and old, and no one was there apart from the people who told us all the history! The house was very strange, and had baths and toilets outside! They were also growing lots of vegetables outside, and we went to look at them! Mummy and Daddy had a bet about a corgette, marrow or a pumpkin. Daddy was right about it being a pumpkin.

We also went for a country walk after, and Daddy and I ended up throwing Marri seeds at each other! That was funny!

Clara got a book about a Bear Hunt, and after we read it about 3 times, she knew it and could read it herself! She is a very clever girl!

Clogger: I love the Bear Hunt book! I read it to Daddy too when he came in from work! I have had a few sulks recently, but whenever I do, I always smile. I must not smile, otherwise the others will not take me seriously!

C: I loved Cockman House! So peaceful and old.

S: Winter is upon us, and fire is a begging...

2009-05-18 Daddy Helper and A Fishy Affair!

Aiysha: What a funny week we had this week, and a lovely weekend! Last night we all went out for dinner at 'A Fishy Affair' in Northbridge, and Clogger and I had 2 plates of fish and chips - it was sooooo yummy! It was dark when we came out, and we decided to go running around in the park in Northbridge! Mummy showed me how to do arab springs, and she tried to catch me but I was too fast - Daddy was laughing! Daddy also took some spooky pictures with the camera. Clog was laughing so much, and following me wherever I went - her socks got so dirty!

This week I got 3 certificates! One was from gym for best worker, one was for getting 100% for both the normal spelling test and extension words which Mummy and Daddy helped me on, and I collected most raffle tickets for doing good things when Mrs Todd was away, so I got a pink pen!

Daddy was Daddy helper on Wednesday, and it was fun! He was in charge of one of the groups - it was a shame that my group missed out on going to his activity, so I hardly got to spend time with him, but it was so nice to have him there. He was having a good laugh with everyone else though, and he stayed for recess, and I sat with him and loads of other kids came over to talk with us. It was funny!

Clogger Rockstar: I love going out to dinner! I ate so many chips, and even drank a little coke! Running around in the dark with Pieshe was the best! She makes me laugh so much, and she looked after me so well!

C: We lost daylight saving! We are all sad about it, but I'm sure it will not be so bad. Maybe we'll actually use our outdoor Christmas lights now! Dinner out was lovely, and I got to relax for the first time in ages! Steve and I could not believe how grown up Aiysha looks now - really quite scary! We are so proud of her.

S: Daddy helper was absolutely brilliant! Aiysha has such a great class, and I got to know all of their names. They were a funny bunch, and I can't wait to do it again. Shame I didn't get to do activities with Aiysha's group, but maybe next time.

Real shame about daylight saving. We'll just have to have more night time swims now - what a shame...

2009-05-05 Summer is over...

Aiysha: Even though I didn't see any friends this weekend, we did a lot of funny things! I told Daddy about this water fight game I invented, and asked him if he would play it - and he DID! It was so funny, and we got so wet. We played it on the lawn while Mummy and Clogger were sleeping, and we got all the pistols from the pool area, and we just attacked each other. We had to refill in and area I called 'No mans land', which was funny! I hid behind a house, and Daddy hid behind the sandpit container.

On Saturday, Daddy took us for doughnuts and shopping which was nice. At gym I filled up my sticker page and got a prize! We have competitions soon, and I can't wait! After lunch, we all went to Heathcote Park above the river - it was so nice. We played catch, hiding, running races and catching a ball. On the way back, it was getting dark, but Daddy took us up Jacobs Ladder - I loved it, it had such a beautiful view!

On Sunday I had a tennis lesson while Mummy took Clog to the park. Mummy said I played really well, and I hit the ball very well. After our water fight, we went to Scenic Park where I made some friends and we played dodge ball with a boy. Clara kept on trying to keep up, and she did really well.

Clara: I love chasing Aiysha around! If I cannot see here, I start calling for her, and she comes and finds me! She looks after me so well, helping me climb up ladders, stairs, finding seats for me and helping me make friends! She is brilliant! I saw some ice on the grass in the park, and decided to stop chasing Aiysha and just play with the ice! I even put a cube in my mouth!

C: Aiysha is starting to hit the ball really well. It is probably time for her to play tennis with some other kids aswell as get training. We'll see. Clara is really brave, and is following Aiysha all over the place!

Clara is almost using the potty! Or is she just teasing us?

S: Amazing weather! Such a beautiful river! Blue skies, perfect temperature. Lovely.
