"Pause yourself"

Hi All,

Today my mum was doing something and I wanted her to wait so I could do it too, so I said to her "Mum, please pause yourself." She thought that was funny.

What I'm up to

Hi All,



I've been a very busy boy!

If you're wondering, this is what my week looks like:

Monday - Mum's Group
Tuesday - Swimming Lesson and Kinder
Wednesday - Play Date with my friend Lydia
Thursday - MOPS (every fortnight) or an outing like the zoo or the play centre
Friday - Sporteka and Kinder

I love going to Kinder. This week I start going to full sessions - 2 hours and 2.5 hours. 3 of my friends from Mum's Group go to Kinder with me so I already have some friends. I told mum that some of the other kids names are Meth, Death and Cad.

I'm doing well at Swimming Lessons too. I told my mum that I love Claire, my teacher. I don't really like floating on my back but I'll do it if Claire asks me really nicely.

I have all new kids in my Sporteka class this year as the other kids graduated to school. I think I'm one of the older kids now so I'll have to show the other kids how to do things. Next week we're doing basketball.

Last week I went to the dentist for the very first time. I sat on mum's lap while the dentist looked at my teeth. He told me I had 20 teeth. I told him that, "Actually I have 12." Obviously not a very good dentist. He did say that my teeth were lovely and clean though.

Gotta go now (to Mum's group if you've checked the schedule above...)
Bye!

Gardening

Hi All,

Lately I've been talking a lot about seeds and planting things. I found an apricot seed in Daylesford and asked mum and dad if I could plant it. They said yes, so I planted it in the garden. I was very disappointed when I checked the next day and there was no apricot tree.

Because of this interest in growing things, we spent the afternoon in the garden planting seeds and seedlings and plants.



I was very helpful (except I kept stepping on the seedlings - whoops).

Mum says it is my job to water the plants every day.

That's all for now,

My first day at Kinder

Hi All,

Today was my first day at Kinder.



I got my backpack ready with mum. I have to make sure I have a change of clothes and a hat. Later when I go for longer I'll have to make sure I have yummy snacks as well.

Then mum and dad took me to kinder. I showed my dad where I put my backpack and the little cubby hole for my hat. I also showed him the little toilet and my very own hand towel.

When I went to kinder orientation last week, I needed to go the toilet. The teacher said that little boys stand up when they do wees. Why has nobody ever told me this????!!!! I have always sat down to do my wees (people must think I am so lazy!). So I stood up and did my wee. Now every time I have needed to do a wee I've said to myself, "Teacher says boys stand up" so I've done all my wees standing up. I've learnt so much from kinder already!!

Bus Driver

Hi All,

Yesterday I decided I would use some boxes to make a bus.

I put my teddies in the box at the back and I was the bus driver in the front box. I also put on my bus driver hat.



I got a book to be my street directory (in case I got lost).

I got very upset when mum took my photo. It's not right to distract a bus driver like that.

Swimming Lesson

Hi All,

Today I went to my first ever swimming lesson!



I was very excited. When I got the pool I asked mum whether I could wee in the pool and make the water go green. She said no and promptly took me to the toilet - party pooper.

I had a good time at my swimming lesson. My teacher's name is Claire. I went in the water with 4 other boys. Two boys were very good swimmers and 2 were very scared. I was kind of right in the middle. I wasn't scared but I don't really know how to swim yet. I got to practise floating on my back, swimming with a noodle and putting my face in the water.

I think I'll go back again next week.

Cape Schanck

Hi All,

This is a photo of me and my dad when we visited Cape Schanck last week. Can you see the light house over my shoulder?




This is us down at the beach. It was a funny beach because it had no sand - only rocks.

Shaving Foam Fun

Hi All,

Today I got to play with shaving foam in the backyard. It was pretty good fun. Mum even coloured the foam for me with red and blue food colouring. She then wished I wasn't wearing a white t shirt.

Hungry Boy

Hi All,

Lately I have been a very hungry boy.



Most mornings I have 2 breakfasts - 2 weetbix with milk and some berries and then I'll have some porridge with yoghurt. I have lots of snacks throughout the day like rice cakes, fruit, muscle power balls, biscuits. Lots of lunch and dinner followed by fruit or yoghurt or icecream. As soon as I'm finished eating something I ask my mum, "Can I have some more food?"

Mum reckons I'm a growing boy. Dad reckons I've got worms.

That's all for now,

Holidays

Hi All,

I'm back from holidays and I had a lovely time.

These are some of the things I did on holidays:

• Went to the circus
• Went for a bushwalk and saw a kangaroo and a joey
• Went to the beach
• Went to the movies and saw Tangled
• Made playdough
• Went to Cape Schank and saw the light house and climbed down AND up all the steps to the beach
  
• Had fish and chips on the beach
• Picked vegetables from the vegie patch
• Went for a walk through a winery finding sculptures

But now we're back home.

Today I made Muscle Power Balls. Mum says they are good for my muscles (hence the name). I got to measure all the ingredients, tip them in the bowl, roll them into balls and roll them into coconut.




They are delicious!

That's all for now,

A story

Hi All,

Today I told my mum this story:

I was flying on a plane to Hong Kong but my friend Phoebe texted me to say that Hong Kong was closed. When the plane landed I knocked on the gate to Hong Kong and said to the lady, "Please open the gate and let me in!". She said, "No! Hong Kong is closed."

So I flew back home. I said to my mum and dad, "Hong Kong is closed." So I played Hide and Seek Gruffalo in the office and then played play dough until mum called out, "Lunch is ready!"
I told her that I was busy working but then I had a sleep and then ate my lunch.

The next time I flew to Hong Kong, the lady at the gate said that Hong Kong was now open and I could go in.

The End

We're on holidays at the moment. Here are some photos:








Hope you're having fun too.

My Brain

Hi All,

This is a coversation I had with my mum today:

Me: Mum, I've lost my brain.
Mum: Oh no! Where has it gone?
Me: Somewhere in my belly.

My tree top house

Hi All,

Today I had a plan. A mission, if you will. I worked at my mission quietly and with great endeavour. Until finally I had finished. I had collected EVERY pillow and cushion in the house (and it turns out we have a lot) and I built myself a tree top house.



If you've read The Gruffalo you'll know that this means that I am the owl. I tried to lure passers by (like my mum, dad and Grammy) into my tree top house. In The Gruffalo, this wouldn't have ended well for the passer-by but for my visitors it was a lot of fun!

Visitor

Hi All,

Today I had a visitor. It was Aunty Leanne! I like Aunty Leanne. She is fun and funny.



We did chalk drawings on the driveway. I did one of Aunty Leanne and made her look like a michelin man (sorry...).

But she must have forgiven me because she read me a story later:


I am also expecting some more visitors later today... I might tell you about them tomorrow.

Teepee

Hi All,

This afternoon mum and I spent some time hanging out in my teepee.



We chatted, looked through binoculars, played with some cardboard boxes, listened to the Doggies theme song and other good stuff.

flowers for mum

Hi All,

Today I brought my mum a flower from outside.



She asked where I got it from. I told her that I got it from our neighbour's garden. She'll never know whether that's true or not...

Bye for now,
Roman

Picnic

Hi All,

Don't you think food tastes better when you eat it outside?

I love having little picnics outside. Mum puts out an old quilt for me to sit on (it's a bit too pink for my liking but whatever), I get some food and my drink and I'm set.



Do you like my drink bottle? It was a Christmas present. Mum and Dad said that I can take it to pre-school this year.


That's all for now,
Roman
