Daycare Christmas Party

Grrrr Lookout lookout, there's a tiger about!

Bradley got his face painted during the Daycare Christmas Party at Rotary Park, Wanneroo. He also got a visit from Santa, who gave him a Postman Pat sticker book!

Playgroup Christmas Party

Just like last year, playgroup organised a fun-filled afternoon of activities for all the kids.

First we met Santa, who had a present for Bradley, as well as some chocolates. Bradley wasn't shy, and gave Santa many hugs and kisses, especially since he thought it would mean more chocolate!


Then he got his face painted. He asked for a tiger, but the lady thought he said spider. But when he looked in the mirror he was very pleased!

At first he was too scared of the merry go round. But once he saw how much the other kids liked it, he soon joined in, and went several times with mum and dad.
And he wasn't too scared of going up high on the elephant ride either!
And he tired himself out lots by jumping for hours on the three different bouncy castles that they had.
There were lots of animals and Bradley kissed some rabbits, copied the noisy cockerel, and played with the chicks, pigs, goats, ducks and lambs. He also had a few pony rides!

Poor tree

The Christmas tree is up now but Bradley can't help but pull all the decorations off. Very soon there will be nothing left on the bottom half!

Bath time

Sasha's first bath with Bradley. He splashed her lots but she didn't mind. She was happy trying to eat all the bubbles.

Santaland

In the city, at Myers (large department store) there is a lovely play area for kids to visit Santa, see the Christmas lights and ride Santa's sleigh! Bradley loved it

Sasha can sit up!

Her hair is long enough to tie back into two bunches...


..and at five months and nine days, she eventually topples over after a minute.

Bradley meets his hero!

We went to the Little Feet Festival in Craigie where there were lots of activities and attractions for little kids. We thought Bradley would be really happy to see Postman Pat there, but he was too scared to go anywhere near him!

Sasha rolls over

Sasha was on the bed on her back and just like that, in half a second, she flipped over! We both tried to get her to do it again, on the bed and on the floor, but she wasn't interested...

Chocolate cake

We made a chocolate slice this evening and Bradley helped to clean up!

Trampoline

Bradley can use up all his excess energy on the new trampoline we bought him from Wanneroo swapmeet (car boot sale) for the bargain price of $10!

Mike turns into an aussie!

Mike became an australian citizen!

The citizenship ceremony was in the Wanneroo Civic centre and just as we parked outside the building at 5pm, it started to rain. It looked like it might get very heavy, so we quickly lugged the kids out of the car and into the nearby shade where we sorted out the pushchair. And then just as I was about to enter the building, there was a screech of brakes and I saw a car crash into the back of another car! That's what happens when it rains here - aussies aren't used to driving in the rain!
There were nearly 70 people taking the citizenship pledge and they were called up in batches of 10 to receive an aussie handshake from the mayor as well as a certificate and a native plant (kangaroo paw, which we planted in our garden). However, because Mike was only called up right at the end, and Bradley had stayed seated for as long as possible by his standards, we missed the actual pledge taking part. Bradley had wandered off outside into the corridor and was having a ball hiding from me. I was trying to take photos, Sasha was screaming her head off because its her bedtime and I rushed Bradley over to Mike's side a few seconds too late. Oh well, that's what happens with kids.
There were nibbles and drinks served afterwards, but again, I was too busy trying to get Bradley to come back down the stairs that he had wandered up, and missed most of the food....

New Car

Today, we all drove down to Rivervale to pick up our new Mitsubishi Colt. Daddy drove it home and Bradley was most upset initially - he thought we were driving away without daddy! Once he realised that daddy was in the new 'roary car' (cartoon sports car character) he was happy!

Jabs and weigh-in

Sasha recieved her first set of immunisations today. She started with the oral rotavirus, which she mostly spat out! It made her cry, so she was upset before the needles - one in each leg. She did calm down pretty quickly though. She was also weighed - a chubby 6 kilo's now!

Willow Farm

Bradley's first time on the fairground rides by himself.
The first ride he went on made him scared and he cried. We had to ask them to stop it and let him off. Later in the day we put him on a smaller one that adults could ride on as well. He enjoyed that and kept asking for more! Once he realised the rides were fun, he went back onto the bigger one by himself.

Holiday at Rottnest

We stayed at Rottnest Island which is 25km off the coast of Perth, for 4 days.

It was my first time on a boat.
We had nice comfy seats next to the window.

It took nearly 2 hours and the vibrations made me fall asleep with daddy.

Daddy carried me around on his back so I had a good view of all the animals and birds.And I had fun playing on the beach.
I played with my bucket and spade.
And made sandcastles!
We had fun splashing in the sea.
I had lots of fun every day!

My first 'big' bike ride

I've been scooting around on my little tricycle, but mummy bought me a seat and fit in onto daddy's 'big' bike. I hated my helmet at first and screamed when it went on, but I'm ok with it now. Here is me after my first ever bike ride with daddy!!!

First trip to the science museum!

Mummy took me to Scitech toddler exhibition where all the attractions were especially for toddlers! I had a great time exploring everything.
Here is me with a wheelbarrow - I pushed it up a steep ramp and a gentle ramp to test which was easiest.
I also had fun making patterns in these pins!
