Day 21

Sunday 1st April

Ah.. Sunday... My favourite day of the week.  I wonder what I'll be doing today.   Something with my family I hope.


I woke up at my usual time... 7-15 and Nanny looked really tired when she got me up.  She said something about Day Light Saving.  I don't know what she was talking about.  Funny Nanny.   I just don't understand her at times.


 








 










First I had a quite time with my bears.   I read Big Teddy a story called 'Monkey See, Monkey Zoo!'  He liked the page about the seal clapping.  I showed him how you could make his flippers clap in and out.  Panda was reading my 'Fun with Colours' book.  His favourite pages were 'Black and White'.  Panda used to live with Mummy when she was a little girl.  Aren't I  lucky that he lives with me now?  Then I read Big Teddy my book called 'That's Not My Lion'.  I think he liked it the best.  Mummy and Daddy read that to me before I go to bed.  I miss Mummy and Daddy.

Nanny said I should to go outside and get some fresh air so I decided to take Teddy for a stroll.  It wasn't very sunny but I wore my zoo hat just in case the sun came out.   

Nanny said that Mummy is coming home tomorrow.  I just can't wait.... I think I'll go to bed early tonight to make her come home sooner...  See you soon Mummy...  Nighty Night...

Day 20

Saturday 31st March

Today started out much like any other day BUT I spoke to Daddy today just after my lunch and I spoke to Mummy again too.  

  

Nanny cooked me a really healthy lunch  of all my favourite vegetables...... carrots, beans, peas and mushrooms mixed with spaghetti and bolognaise sauce.  I'm a big girl now and don't need to be fed like a baby.  I can feed myself.  The spaghetti is really hard to pick up but it was all yummy.  Thank you Nanny.

                                                                                                         After I spoke to Daddy and Mummy, Nanny and I went for a drive to find a new park.  We  went over the West Gate Bridge and along the edge of the bay.. We found a great little park with lots of different activities.  It had a sand pit too  which was fun because Nanny brought my bucket and spade along for me to play with.  There were two slippery dips.  A baby one which was a bit low and a bit slow for me and a big kids one with a bump in the middle.  It was lots of fun.  I had lots of slides on it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

 

 

It was very windy at the park so Nanny decided to go exploring again.  She drove all the way to St Kilda and then went to the house that Mummy and Daddy lived in before I was born.  I was asleep at the time but here is the picture.

When we got home Nanny gave me some pieces of icey pole in a bowl.  They were delicious.  Thank you Nanny for another happy and busy day... I will certainly sleep well tonight... Nighty Night...

Day 19

Friday 30th March..

.Breakfast time and today I am sorting and counting balls of Nanny's knitting wool.  There are three of them.  I like the colours.... red, blue and black. 

Late yesterday Nanny and I went to the shops at Footscray.  Nanny bought me a new pair of jeans, a pretty smock and a packet of colourful singlets.  The white singlet has picture of a monkey on it.  Mummy and Daddy call me Cheeky Little Monkey sometimes.  Now I can wear a monkey singlet.   

While Nanny was hanging up the washing I had a chance to take some more photos for my project.  I am getting a good collection.

After breakfast we went to 'Jelly Bread' Cafe and there were lots of kids and mummies there.  I like playing in the caravan best..... but the shoes were annoying.  Why do I have to wear them all the time Nanny?

After lunch we went to the park  Those weeds are taking over the front garden Nanny but I like them.  They are fun to pick.  I like to let the seeds fly away.

Such a busy day today.  Nanny and I walked to Sean's park.  I am getting to be such a big girl.  Look, I can get up the climbing wall now all by myself.  Nanny helps me just in case I can't reach and keeps saying 'concentrate, concentrate' all the time. At the top of the climbing wall is the slippery dip.  That's best... Weeeeeeee. 
I think I will sleep well tonight... Nighty Night

Day 18

Thursday 29th March

 OMG Who would be a mother...  First thing in the morning... Out and walking the family.  Although Nanny didn't mention that Dolly had to be IN the stroller.... Phew ....  Up and Down the passage and Dolly didn't even care.... And look I'm wearing....  some old thing..

We were supposed to go to the what I call The Book Club which is held every Thursday at 11 o'clock down on Somerville Road.. but Nanny freaks out when we go and  I look at the kids books and test all the pens and pencils...What am I supposed to do ??  She says I should be listening to the stories and singing the songs... I get all that at home... and they are all such babies... They just sit there and do NOTHING....I like checking out all the books.   I learned about dinosaurs, tractors, magnets and multi coloured stamper pens when I was there last time.. Not just Rabbits which Is what the theme was that week,,, ...     SO we didn't go today.... Instead we did some cooking at home and made Muffins.  Mummy's friend Ella mentioned that muffins were a good kind of lunch .... So we made some... Good Try Nanny... although I notice you ate about 4 of them... I thought they were a little dense and could have had more seasoning... 

AND Nanny moved my chalk board into my bedroom...  (sigh) Nanny......

It's been a big day for me/// so Nighty Night....

Day 17

Wednesday 28th March

This is me with my new in flight bag.  I am practicing up and down the hall.   It is very busy at the air port and I don't want to have any problems.  I wonder where I am going.

Mummy's friend Ella text ed Nanny this morning to say that she and Ollie and Holly and Lennan were going to Kids Mania.. Wee.  I just love it there.  It is so big and there are so many things to do.  I wore my red top and Roberta's floral Harem pants.  You can't see them very well in this photo but they are perfect for the Activity Centre.  I can climb and play on all the activities but still look fashion forward and cool..  I am having a little snack in this picture.

After lunch Nanny and I went to the shops.  On my way to the car I had a look at the front garden.  I noticed some Dandelions in the lawn  These should come out Nanny, because they are weeds but they do have pretty yellow flowers and funny puffy seed heads.
  

 

After the shopping Nanny said that we were going to the park...BUT she took so long to get there that I fell asleep in my car seat.  Nanny you forgot the rules AGAIN... No photos when I am asleep please.  So embarrassing.
 
I think Nanny went for a little drive when I was asleep because I was in the car for a long time.  I heard her tell Mummy that she drove all the way to Williamstown.  Nanny called it exploring... Thinking of sitting in the car for such a long time still makes me feel  tired... Nighty Night..

I forgot to mention that just before dinner I spoke to Daddy on the computer.  That was fun.  He looked very pleased to see me........ 

Day 16

Tuesday 27th March

 Nanny and I went to the big shopping centre called High Point today.  We had a few things to get.  First we looked at shoes for me but I didn't like the ones that Nanny chose.  They were red leather with velcro straps.  Nanny thought they were beautiful but I thought the soles were too hard and clunky.  So Nanny put them back and bought a pair of black sneakers with very soft soles. I tried to tell Nanny that I had a pair like them at home but she just wouldn't listen.  The ones at home have flowers on them.  What is it with Nanny and shoes.  First the baby booties and now black sneakers!!   And she really struggles to put them on me too.,   I can get them off in seconds.  I just dont understand Nanny sometimes.

 Mummy said that I would be doing some traveling later in the month and thought I needed my own luggage.   Now I am a big girl I can look after my own things and I wont have to put them with Mummy's.  The bag that Nanny chose is blue with pictures of wild animals on it.  It has wheels so you can pull it along and a long handle sort of thing that you can hold onto.  I hope it holds all the things I need to take with me.   I am a bit doubtful.

After lunch Nanny lent me her camera and I was able to take some photos for my photography project.  This is a picture of my thumb.

Nanny is so lucky to have me as her helper.  She is building a set of shelves and I am trying them out for her.  They seem to fit alright.  What is she going to do with them?.  Maybe she will leave the shelves till Mummy gets home.  She'll know.  Mummies know everything.  That's about it for today... Nighty Night.

Day 15

Monday 26th March

 Hooray... Nanny said it was only 7 days till Mummy gets back.  I can't wait

.   
 Breakfast is a very special time for me and Nanny.   I like to practice my numbers and colours.  Today I was practicing the number 3.  Can you see?  I have 3 pieces of toast and three peggy beads.  Sometimes I count potatoes and sometimes I count the little spice bottles.

After breakfast Nanny moved a storage box under my bed room window so I can see outside.  I saw a man ride by on a bicycle and a lady with a dog.  There are all sorts of things happening outside my bedroom. 

We went to 'JellyBread'  today and there were some other kids there.  This little boy called Patrick gave me a ride in the wagon.  He was pulling the empty wagon around and I just got in...  He didn't seem to mind.  It was lots of fun.  

When we finished at 'JellyBread' Nanny and I went next door to the Vietnamese Shop.  We got 2 pairs of socks and 2 big plastic spoons.  I liked the stacks of baskets.  They were nearly as tall as me.   Off home we went for lunch and play time.  I spoke to Mummy again at dinner and then it was bath, bottle and bed.  Nighty Night......
