12 June - Kindergym

What a crappy day.

Leah felt sick,  Grace is recovering from an ear infection, and it has pizzled with rain all day.

But I did manage to take Grace to Kindergym which today,  she loved.

11 June - Doctors, Snakes, Water & Webbers

A very strange visit to the Dr today for Grace a she has a sore ear.

The Dr was booked out, so we saw a nurse first, and then she 'found' a Dr to see us. Was so much better than just a normal Dr visit to do it that way.

While we waited in the nurses station,  Grace kissed and cuddled a huge toy snake that she just loved.

She also had a bizarre conversation with Mark Webber's Dad about how lucky he was to have a son that raced a fast car and wore a yellow hat!

Then at the chemist she decided she was a big girl and needed a drink from a cup.  Where she proceeded to Walk around like a proud teenager with her first alcoholic drink,  stating how much she loved her big drink.

10 June - Cold Rocks... NOT

Today the most we managed to achieve was a late afternoon trip to Cold Rock as Leah wanted a decent to thickshake.

Unfortunately, it was so completely not decent, it was definitely not worthy of wasting my phone camera.

So no photo.

9 June - New Dancing Dress

Today while shopping for ski gear at Aldi,we found a pink dress that Grace fell in love with.

She had to wear it through the store, took it off to scan and pay for it, and then back on over the top of her clothes!

When we got home, we discovered why she needed it.... Its her new Dancing Dress.
She literally could not stand normally in it, and spent nearly an hour dancing constantly in the lounge!

8 June - NO photo

Grace was adamant today that I did NOT take her photo while she was on the swing.
I won, but it took a few attempts!

7 June - Nice Photo

Clearly not my own photo, but I just loved this shot from the Isle of Mann TT.

Amazed how close to the racing the spectators get.

6 June - Graces Games

I gave Grace my phone for maybe 20 minutes today, with an app that she remembered she liked a while ago installed again for her.

Imagine my surprise when I looked at the gallery and found over 70 photos from the games where Grace has been 'playing'.

5 June - Fun(ny) At the Park

This afternoon Grace and I went to the park for a quick play, where she decided she must roll around and dirty in a 'muddy puddle',  and then tickle her reflection in the car.

But without a doubt, the highlight of the park was the guy who got his head stuck in the garbage bin for around 20 minutes, before he finally escaped somehow!

4 June - Monster Art

Grace's drawing skills are improving rapidly, she now carefully adds eyes, ears hair etc to faces.

But today she took it an extra level by drawing an entire 'monster' without any help at all.

Oh, and we also got a prize in the mail for her colouring skills from the pancake parlour competition too.

3 June - Snow Boots

We bought Grace some snow boots on the weekend, in anticipation of a weekend at Thredbo this winter.

So today, when she and Leah headed to the zoo, Grace grabbed the box and asked to wear them.

This was her idea of posing for me to take a photo of how huge they looked on her little legs!

2 June - Big Girls Bed

We set up Graces toddler bed in her bedroom today, to remove the cot and get her into her (as she calls it) 'Big Girls Bed'.

A few days ago we let her choose her own bedding for it, which is why she has a blue Dinosaur quilt set!

But it worked, she is so happy in it, and we have been able to get her out of some old habits such as having her toys in her bed,  using a sleeping bag,  and her green blanky.

Fingers crossed it continues,  but so far it's looking like a successful bedding move.

1 June - Dancing up a storm

Dance class again today. I'm really turning into a 'dance dad', its actually a little scary!
Then after dance, we had lunch with the Merrys and some shopping in Civic.

Finally I went and did the grocery shopping and scored myself a free tin to keep the spaghetti in. I did have to buy an extra jar of sauce to get it, that we really didn't need, but hey, I couldn't leave a free tin at the shop!

31 May - Tunnel park photos

Today Grace asked for a play at the 'tunnel park' which is actually Hungry Jacks.

So we had lunch there and then a play where Grace decided we must take some photos while inside the slide.

Grace and self portraits always amuse me!
She is so like me when she gets hold of a camera.

29 & 30 May - Lollipops again

Grace loves lollipops play centre,  I think mainly for the teacup ride.

But after a frustrating day at work on the  29th, I decided to take the following day off work and take Grace out for some fun!

Last minute arrangements saw us also meet Jacky, Kahu, Claire, and Hugh.

Another fun day there, and it's so much easier now the kids are older and happy to climb up and play by themselves.
