Christmas

Hi All,

Well, a week ago, I flew on a airplane for the 3rd time in my life. I tapped the lady next to mum with my foot a couple of times but she said it was OK because she was going to stay with someone that had a 2 year old. So I decided that by kicking her I was really helping her prepare for what lay ahead.

When we landed I got to see my Grammy. Then later that day I saw my Papa too! (I think they live together).

We've done lots of lovely things while we've been here. We went to the beach - I went into the water and then played on the sand. I had some ice cream (mummy says I shouldn't have ice cream because afterwards my poo is yucky, sticky and black - I reckon it's worth it). I got to spend time with my Aunty Tanya and Uncle Cliff. We went out for dinner last night and I got more ice cream (mum was not happy when she changed my nappy this morning).

I got lots of presents including a ride on scooter with a trailer. I can go backwards really well but I get stuck going forwards. We went to church on Christmas morning but I got a bit fidgety so dad took me out the back of church. I had a lovely time out the back running around. Mum said she could still hear me in the church - whoops.

I am having lots of fun.

That's all for now,

Beach

Hi all,

Today we went to the beach. The water was very cold so I didn't really want to stay in very long. I liked the sand very much. I climbed into a big hole that a boy was digging. Then I climbed out again. I borrowed his shovel for a bit. Next time we go to the beach I'm going to bring my own shovel and bucket. I'm getting a bucket and shovel for Christmas - I know this because I found the shovel and unwrapped it...

I also got some other Christmas presents today because tomorrow I'm going to Adelaide on an airplane and my presents won't fit in the suitcase.

I got lots of Little People things from mum and dad. We picked them up after we went to the beach. I love them a lot because they make lots of noises.

I have to go to bed now because I need my rest before getting on the plane tomorrow.

Bye for now

Better then worse

Hi All,

I haven't posted since last week because I got all better so I was happy and wanted to do things. My ears didn't hurt and my eyes were all clear. But my eyes got sick again...

Here's me today.

Boo.

But people must be feeling sorry for me because I've been getting presents!!! They are wrapped in red and green paper with gold bows.

I LOVE the present my Aunty Leanne and Uncle Tim gave me. My mum says when I opened it up I made the biggest smiles she's EVER seen. It's pretty much the best present any one could ever get and I know you're all going to be jealous and wish you had one. Here it is:

A BROOM!!!! How cool is that?? I love sweeping so much!! Although I'm not sure why it's pink. Surely there are blue brooms. Blue brooms for boys. Boys that love sweeping. Daddy says that I'm going to be a janitor when I grow up.

Bye for now,

Roman

Left Out

Hi All,

Apparently my left eye was jealous of all the attention my right eye was getting so my right eye shared its conjunctivits with my left eye.

GRRRRR.

Bye for now,
Roman

goop

Hi All,

As you might know I have been a sick boy lately. Although I woke up feeling better this morning things took a turn for the worse during my lunch time nap when someone snuck into my bedroom and put glue in my eye. When I woke up my eye was glued shut with green goop.

Mum took me off to the doctor AGAIN and he told mum that I have conjunctivitis (I tried to tell him about my glue theory but I don't think he understood me).

So now mum and dad have to tackle me to the ground, prise my eye open so they can shoot drops into my eyes every 2 - 3 hours. If they miss we get to do it all over again.

Such fun,

Roman

Hello,

Today I wanted to tell you something exciting. Like how I love playing the piano:

OR

how this morning mum was really excited to find a nice firm poo in my pants rather than the diarrhoea that I've had for the last week,

OR

how I was going to be a lovely boy for mum today because it was her birthday.

Instead... I have to tell you that I've been a sick boy today.

I woke up not feeling bad but by 8:20am I was miserable. I cried and cried. So mum suggested that we all (Dad was home for mum's birthday) go shopping because shopping always makes me happy. I cried for the whole 10 minutes that we were at Doncaster so we came home again (crying all the way). I pretty much cried until I went to bed at 12pm.

When I got up at 1:30pm I felt REALLY bad. I had a bad temperature and felt terrible. I just wanted to hug my mum so that's all I did for the whole afternoon (even when we went to the doctor). The doctor said that I now have an ear infection to go with my chest infection as well as my high temperature.

Here's me being miserable:

This was the favourite part of my day:

So today I did 2 things I never do - I cried for half the day and I sat on mum's lap for half a day.

It's a good thing mum gets another birthday next year because I think this one probably wasn't great...

that's all for now,

Roman

Finally

Hi All,

I thought you might be interested to know that after weeks of feeling cross and grumpy and completely snotty, I finally am feeling much better! The last three days I have been a happy and joyful and only a little bit snotty boy.

Today I went outside a lot.



I like summer fruits - cherries and apricots and peaches. I don't think my mum is at all happy about this. My dad told me that she doesn't like sharing.

Mum told me that I'm going to be flying on a plane soon to see my Grammy and Papa. I'm very excited about this. I've been on a plane before so I know that there are lots of people. I also am pretty sure that those people love it when little children make lots of noise so I'll see what I can do. I have a game that I like playing at the moment. I stand on the couch. Mum or Dad count to 3. At 3 I fall backwards onto the cushions. It's great fun. I was playing today. Unfortunately I had a little bit of snot coming out of my nose at the time. This is what I looked like after I had fallen backwards. Click on the photo to get a good look...


Bye for now,

Dog

Hi All,

My friend Phoebe came over last night while I was sleeping and she left a present for me. It's a dog! Mum said I can keep him because he won't poop on the couch or wee on the carpet. He makes a good pillow too.


My new favourite fruit is apricot. Mum bought a bag of about 15 two days ago and they are all gone!! I think mum is upset because I'm not sure she bought them for me but every time we walk past the fruit bowl, I point until she gives me one.

That's all for now,
Woof, woof,
Roman

More snot

Hi All,

I know I haven't posted for a while but I've been sick. So sick that mum said I couldn't use the computer because I'd get snot all over the keyboard and then it wouldn't work properly.

Dad's been away for the last week. First he was in Kong Hong and then in Sydney. I know that I'm only little but already I'm learning things - I worked out that Kong Hong is a monarchy and that they named the King after the country and that he is an ape.

I haven't been eating my food very much lately because I don't feel like it. I think this stresses mum out. She even gave me my yoghurt and a spoon and let me do it myself. I found the spoon slow going so I used my hands (to be honest I think the spoon might have been the better option).

That's all for now,

Roman
