Black belt birthday

You slept through Pop's black belt- with mum in the car. 

A great birthday present at 58. 

At the birthday party- Princes Room- you hammed it up with your cousins. 

Christmas outings already

Santa photo today! Here you are looking for Santa after you didn't want to sit on his lap.

Looking stylish on our way to Christmas drinks at Sandra and Helaine's. 41 out so a quick run with an icey pole to their house. You were very good and enjoyed playing with their toys.

Looking less stylish later when you worked out how to do this with your tee.

Christmas at playgroup

Quick snack before playgroup. Elmo is a comfy seat.

Cars, planes and trucks. Hard to get you away from this basket to the food spread even!

Plate of snacks. You know you have to select your food and put it on the plate before you sit and eat. So we kept going to get one cheeto, put it on the plate, go and sit, eat it, repeat. It was hilarious!

So excited by the bells and Christmas music when Santa arrived!

Not so excited when it was your turn.

Like a bandaid, got you in fast.

Warming up to Santa when you see there is a present involved. After this you went and picked out a truck from the kindly toys to give to Santa. So kind!

Marge and grandad visited after for chicken and chips and ice creams! All fun until you got a bit tired and silly and pushed the chair back and fell on the back of your head. A big egg from that one but you were quickly soothed and then went to look at birdies with grandad.

Busy week

On the animals at west lakes. You will only go on the chicken but mummy is directed to sit in each of the other animals.

Driving the trolley. Don't touch it mum!

Weeeee! 

This is what happens when you don't have a nap...

Nuggets and a cheeky boy.

On our way home after you refused to be out at t chow. Left daddy to it after you kept asking for home and bed.

Happy as pie once we had your jammies on and some milk.

Exploring Christmas and Adelaide landmarks

Granny took us out for a day of Christmas. 

Checking out Adelaide main attractions. The balls.

The fountain.

Following the steps to the magic cave for the first time. Worked this out yourself!

The mirrors.

Puppets. You found these hilarious and kept squealing.

Bit unsure. 

Watching the carousel. Horse, duck, duck!! But a definite no when I tried to put you on and you tried to climb up on my head. Maybe next year.

Lunch snack.

Handsome boy.

Big sleep on the way home.

A fun afternoon building a castle.

Then trying to get you to sleep after an exciting day and a long nap- not the easiest but eventually you fell asleep. This is how we cuddle with all your animals x

Le week-end

Sleeping through Pop's karate grading- he got his black belt.

Dinner at Ben's. You were a bit sleepy from a big night the night before and I don't think encouraged Ben and his new girlfriend Kate to get a bub anytime soon. You did love his big Rottweiler though and repeated his name for the rest of the night.

Good fun on great grandad and grandads chair.

Went out to the semaphore fair for the first time and it was surprisingly good. You picked a frog puzzle. Baby frog is the best part of it. Hopping in the car.

Big day out

Friday morning- getting all your ducks in a row.

Off to playgroup in the morning- joyous just love the magnet building blocks but are contemplating a move here. Eventually we went and painted a Christmas wreath!

Joining in with the singing and dancing for the first time! You are usually too busy pulling all the animals out of the basket and mum gives up and we sneak out early.

Afternoon phone calls with teddies.

With Cat and Sebastian in Victoria Square to see the adt do dance rehearsal. You and Sebastian just ran around the grass. You were very interested in the skateboarders and the birds!

Water fountain! And the water goes up!

Off to tea with Travs old work group. You ride bikes with Mila til 830 and then we struggled to get you to sleep until you passed out in your pusher at 10. Big day.
