Friendly Roman

Hi All,

My mum and dad encourage me to be a friendly boy. For example when I'm at the park, I go up to the other children and say, "Hi, my name's Roman. What's your name?"

At swimming today I was feeling friendly so I went up to one of the other mums and had a chat. This was our conversation:

Roman: Hi! When I grow up... (I think she may have not heard this part of the conversation which may make the rest of the conversation worrying)
Roman (cont.): I'm going to fly to Canberra
Other mum: Oh really. Why is that?
Roman: I've got to go and earn some money
Other mum: What are you going to do with your money?
Roman: I've got to pay for our house
Other mum: Oh
Roman: Yep, and buy our food. And pay for kinder.
Other mum: OK

I know about what money gets used for because every day when we take dad to the train station Mum and I have this conversation:
Roman: Why does daddy have to go to work?
Mum: To earn money
Roman: Why?
Mum: To pay for our house and our food
Roman: What else?
Mum: So Mummy and Roman get to do fun things together like swimming and Sporteka
Roman: When I grow up and you and daddy are small, I will go to work and get money to pay for our house and food.
Mum: Sounds like a plan

That's all for now,
Roman

Play School concert again

Hi All,

Today I got to go to another Play School concert! This time my dad took me. Abby and Teo were the presenters again but I didn't mind. To be honest with you I liked going to the concert with dad better than going with mum because after the concert dad took me out for a Babycino and also bought me a Humpty Dumpty toy!



At home mum and I made our own play school concert. We made tickets for my teddies:


And then lined them up on the couch so they could watch the show:


Then we put on our Play School music and did some singing and dancing for them.

My Family

Hi All,

My kinder teacher asked us all to bring in a photo of our family so yesterday we took a family photo.

This is my family:

Woccamole

Hi All,

On Play School they made guacamole and I asked mum if we could make some. Although I call it "woccamole." We had some avocado in our fruit basket but had to wait until it ripened which it did today.

I scooped the avocado, squeezed in lemon and lime juice, added salt and pepper and stirred and mashed. I then scooped it onto my rice cracker. It was yum!



Also my dad asked me to tell you that we made another tower that went all the way to the ceiling:

Marble Track

Hi All,

Today my Dad brought something into the house that has been hiding in the bungalow for a long time. 2 boxes of Marble Tracks!

I had so much fun all afternoon playing with my dad (to be honest, mum really is very bad at making marble tracks but my dad is AWESOME!!).







Love it!

Play School and a new toy

Hi All,

Yesterday Mum took me to see the Play School concert. Teo and Abby were the presenters. I really loved it! I danced and sang (and just quietly I think I was the best dancer).

Also on another note, I found a box of my baby things under Mum and Dad's bed. I don't know why it's under there because I found the BEST toys. One of them I've been playing with it ALL day.



I've used it as a fire extinguisher and as a telephone (see below):


I've also used it as a gun but don't tell mum that.

SO MUCH FUN. Mum says she doesn't remember it being that much fun.

That's all for now,
Roman

Yes - I'm a boy

Hi All,

The other day my mum gave me a little box of lego. It was the little green soldiers from Toy Story 3. I had a great time putting them together with my mum. Then I found some little pieces of lego and I didn't know what they were called. I asked mum and she said,

Mum: "Oh, they are called guns but we may put those away."
Roman: "WHY??? I LOVE guns!"
Mum: "No. Guns aren't very good"
Roman: "Why?
Mum: "Guns can hurt people"
Roman: "Why?"
Mum: "Because angry people use them to hurt people"
Roman: "When I'm angry can I use a gun?"
Mum: "No. I think we'll put them away now"

I got the box from the lego and showed mum the picture of the soldiers with the guns and told her, "See mum. I HAVE to have them. It says here!!"

Since then I've been slightly obsessed with guns. I have never really shown much interest in my duplo but now I use my blocks to build guns. I find sticks and make them into guns (like this photo):



I know my mum doesn't like it so I don't call them guns. I call them "something" or "rubadub scrubbers." Somehow I think she may suspect what I'm really making.

That's all for now,

Things I say to my mum

Hi All,

Sometimes I say lovely things to my mum. Like "I love you" and "you look beautiful" and "I love playing with you." But yesterday I said something which wasn't so lovely.

Mum was having a shower and I asked if I could have one too. Mum said, "Sure, hop in." So I took my clothes off and got in the shower. I was playing with my toys but there wasn't lots of room like when I have a shower by myself so I looked around to see what the problem was. Then I said my not so lovely thing. I said, "Mum, your bum is SO big."



Sorry mum. I still love you (big bum and all).

That's all for now,
Roman
