Standing on One Leg is Quite Tricky

Taking a photo proved to be just as tricky!

Fun Times Out The Back

An Afternoon Outing

We spent yesterday afternoon at the Cairns Tropical Zoo with a couple of Levi's mates.

Mum's been suggesting that I take Levi out there for ages, and I have been putting it off, didn't really have found memories of the place. Met Amanda and her two boys out there. Brought a year pass $46.50, children under 4 are free.

Headed in and just caught the tail end of the snake show, people were just patting the snake, Levi calls out "No touching snakes" then headed to the reptile house, Levi was wide eyed, must of been feed day, the snakes were very active, we even saw one starting to it's dinner, a mouse. Strolled around the park seeing all the animals then a stop for ice cream.

A great afternoon out, we really enjoyed ourselves and Levi has been chatting about it today.

The New Hair Do

This morning I decided to cut Levi's mop of beautiful curls, I didn't mind him having so much hair, it is the cradle scalp that I could not keep under control.

It was the most traumatic thing ever to happen and I am surprised that child welfare did not come knocking on the door with all the carry on the little man put on, my goodness it sounded terrible, we were out the back patio and he was whaling and sobbing loudly "NO, NO, NO MUM DON'T" I haven't done the best job but it will do. He would not come near me when we finished, he looked so hurt.

Granny to the rescue, scooped him up and got him in the car and over there for an ice cream, the world seemed to be a better place after that. However no talk about getting a hair cut. Traumatic memories.

Play School Live in Concert

Yesterday we attended our first concert, 'Play School Live in Concert,' it was fantastic. We went with one of the Mum's from the Mummy Club and her 2 boys, Riley & Ben. When the show started and one of the presenters from the show appeared on stage, Levi was ecstatic shouting "Hello Play School" he got right into all of the songs and just couldn't believe what was happening. A great show that just keeps it simple, highly recommend to everyone with little ones, look forward to going again when they are next in town.

Toilet Training

Finally seem to be getting somewhere with toilet training, I was beginning to think he would be in nappy's for the rest of his life! He has been weeing outside on the grass. We have been home this week as Levi has been unwell, maybe that helped with progress. I am just thankful that we are getting somewhere.

Growing Up

Levi used the toilet for the first time last Thursday - only once, has not used it since, much to my disappointment, he seems to have become very attached to his nappy's!!! Any helpful hints very welcome.

Uncle Paul is up so that is a bonus for the little fella, so very happy to hang out with him. Today we were at Granny's and found Uncle's old bear Max, Levi claimed it straight away - my Max, holding him close to his chest.

Tomorrow will be a very exciting day for the little fella, Uncle's Birthday bash will at our house, he is a little party animal so no doubt will have a great time.

Backyard Veggie Patch

MDR created this massive veggie garden in the backyard, MB & I helping to shovel in some dirt. Levi was keen to give a hand - walking away with the tools. Has been complete since the weekend, will plant some seeds and herbs soon. Tonight when I got home notices a 4 legged animal had been walked across the patch.....

Pretty Beach

A lovely April Sunday to spend outdoors, what better place than the beach, Pretty Beach just past Ellis Beach heading north. We pretty much had the place to ourselves, from time to time a couple of people came by walking their dogs. There was a large shady tree, which we set up under, then beach and rocks, with little bays between the rocks for the little ones to run in and out.
