Holidays

Hi All,

Have you been asking yourself, "I wonder where Roman is and why he hasn't blogged lately?" If so, it's because I've been on holidays with my mum and dad. We went to Warrnambool. We like it there. It's got the beach and parks and food. It also has rain and wind and coldness. We didn't get to spend as much time at the beach as we would have liked because of the rain.

We did go to the beach a couple of times. The first time it was very cold and I was wearing lots of warm clothes. I ran to the water and I got too close to the water and a wave came and knocked me over. I was very upset... and cold... and wet... My mum thought it was very funny, she laughed and laughed. Dad told her off for laughing so much - he thought it was quite serious. Mum stripped off all my clothes and Dad gave me his jumper to wear. We left the beach so I could go home and get dry clothes.

Here are some photos from our holidays.








We had lots of fun and I sang Happy Birthday to you on the drive home. I can't remember why.

Bye for now,
Roman

Upset

Hi All,

Sometimes I get upset. When I get upset I cry and make funny faces. Sometimes I have snot come out of my nose. I usually want a cuddle, then I don't want a cuddle. It's all very messy and confusing.

This is me after I got upset about something (I can't remember what):

Oven

Hi Everyone,

My dad called my mum a bag lady. That's because she collects things that other people don't want anymore so she can make them wanted again. Do you remember my little white chair. She found that on the side of the road. She found a little cabinet the other day that she's painting at the moment. And when we were driving home from shopping last week she spotted this little oven / stove that someone had left out for hard waste collection:



It was full of straw and had bird poop on it. Yuck.

So today mum and I put it in the backyard and scrubbed and scrubbed until it was beautifully clean:



I really liked cleaning it, especially with the tooth brush. Mum says I kept cleaning for about 30 minutes longer than necessary but I was having fun!

That's all for now,

Stories

Hi All,

Do you know how sometimes people tell stories, and when they are finished you wished they had never told you the story? I'm going to tell you one of those stories.

The other day I was eating baked beans and ham. Not a great combination but mum mustn't have had much in the fridge. So I was eating my baked beans with my spoon when I wondered how far I could stick my spoon down my throat. It turns out I can stick it far enough down to make me puke baked beans and ham everywhere... My first puke and it was self inflicted.

Don't you wish I'd never told you that story? Just be glad there is no accompanying photo.

It's my Birthday!!

Hi All,

Today is my birthday. Today I turn 2 years old (or 3 depending on when you ask me).

Today mum and dad wanted to take me to the zoo or the science museum or something fun. But I just wanted to stay home and play with my presents. So that's what we did.

Mum and dad gave me a train set!!



It's lots of fun with lots of tracks and trains. Very fun.

I'll tell you about some of the other things I've got for my birthday:

a trike (my feet ALMOST touch the pedals!)
some musical instruments (I like playing with these a lot)
some playdough (who doesn't like playdough?!)
some pyjamas and a book (the book is very funny - i'll tell you about it some time)
some tracksuit pants and top (dad says that tracksuit pants are the best thing ever)
and something very cool that I haven't actually got yet - my Aunty and Uncle are going to build me a garden (I love outside - have I told you that before?)
and other stuff too!!

I'm very spoilt.

This is me and my dad:

What a day!!

Hi All,

What a day I've had today!!

Today I woke up and found a duck in our backyard!! I think the magpies must have told the duck that he could get some good bread in our backyard. But we'd run out so I think the duck went away hungry.

Then I had my family come and visit for my birthday. Except it's not my birthday, yet. My birthday is on Tuesday so I don't know if that means everyone is coming back on Tuesday once they realised the mistake they've made or whether that's it. We'll see.

Here are some photos from my party (I'll put some more photos up tomorrow and I'll tell you about my presents too!):

Proud Dad

Hi All,

I have made my dad very proud of me.

I can fart. Don't get me wrong - I've been able to fart for quite some time but now I know about it and I proclaim it - "Roman fart!". I know that some people are stealth farters - they do it quietly and hope no one notices (until the smell hits them) - NOT ME!! I'm a proud farter like my dad. I want people to know about it. I also want them to join in. Once I've farted and announced it I also ask other people to do one too - " Mummy fart?", "Daddy fart?". A farting family is a happy family.

This is me and my dad:

Something new

Hi All,

I thought today I would try and tell you some things about me that you may not know.

• I like having my photo taken. At least 5 times a day I ask my mummy, "photo? Roman?". Mum takes photos of me on her phone - like this one:
• I like getting in to bed with mum and dad in the morning and then hiding under the sheets. I like mum and dad to hide too. I say "Mum, hide. Dad, hide. Roman, hide. Dark." One time mum told me it was scary, and then changed her mind and said that it's fun. I only remember the scary bit so I say "scary".
• Mum bought me an ice pack that is shaped like a teddy bear. When I hurt myself I cry for a moment and then say "teddy bear hold." It makes me feel better.
• I know the way to the park. I like going there.

That's all for now,
Roman

Feeding the birds

Hi All,

Please don't tell my mum and dad but the real reason I like throwing bread to the birds in our back yard is so that I have a snack for the next day when I'm outside and I'm hungry. SHHHH.

Bye for now,
Roman

Baby cino

Hi All,

This morning my mum, dad and I went out for breakfast. Mum got a hot chocolate, dad got a coffee and I got a baby cino. A baby cino is frothy milk with chocolate powder sprinkled on top. I LOVE baby cinos. A LOT. I even got 2 marshmallows with my baby cino. I drank it up so fast. And then it was gone. I saw the nice waitress who brought it to me across the other side of the restaurant so I held up my cup to her and yelled, "Lady, more coffee!"



In case you can't tell, that's me in the photo above. Dad says that I look like a 14 year old girl in the photo so I wasn't sure if you'd be able to see that it was me.

My daddy's favourite photo

Hi All,

My daddy loves this photo so I thought I would share it with you.

Biscuits

Hi All,



I like biscuits. They are yummy. Mum usually carries some around with her so that when we're out shopping and I get bored I can eat some. I was outside today having my morning tea of biscuits and sultanas. I thought the birds would like some of my biscuits but they did not want them. I found this a bit upsetting. Why would the birds not like biscuits? Why would anyone not like biscuits??

I don't understand.

Bye for now,
Roman

Outside

Hi All,

I spent the whole weekend outside with my dad. We had so much fun doing scrubbing and woodwork and all sorts of things. It was really, really fun. I am very helpful and am good at doing all sorts of helpful things. I don't think my dad could have done it without me.







One day I have to tell you the story about when mum and I came back from Bairnsdale in the car. Mum had given me my container of sultanas and my water cup. I was eating my sultanas and then couldn't be bothered holding my container anymore so I put the rest of my sultanas in my ear. When I got hungry I just got them out of my ear to eat. Then I put the straw from my water cup into my ear in case my ear was thirsty. Great story.

Bye for now,
Roman

Pj's

Hi All,

I'm not at my best first thing in the morning but this is me at 8am when I have just gotten out of bed. These are my red train pyjamas. I like them a lot. If my sleeping bag is wet (because my nappy exploded) then I get to wear my red pyjamas.

Do you have red pyjamas? Are they your favourites too? Do yours have inbuilt feet? Yours are probably not as good as mine.

Pineapple

Hi All,

I love pineapple. I love it as much as I love my mum and my dad.

It tastes good and yummy. And then I get to drink the juice as well.

In the last 2 days I have eaten a big can of it. Delicious.

This is a picture of me eating pineapple.

Sleeping bags

Hi All,

Most of the time I go to sleep in my sleeping bag. I love it. When mum or dad has changed my nappy ready for bed, I ask "bag?" so they don't forget to put me in it.

Here is me in my sleeping bag (I'm a little embarrassed to admit but I was lying on the floor having a bit of a sooky la la at the time)

And here's me today after I'd gotten up at lunch time. I asked mum whether she would take my photo.



So that's me and my bag.

Bye for now,
Roman

More fun in the park

Hi there,

Today I played with my cousins, Lachlan and Natalya. We went to the park and played blocks and watched TV.

I can't think of anything else to tell you right now, so I'll say goodbye.

Goodbye,

Roman

Visits

Hi All,

I'm off visiting my Grandma and Grandad. And Toby and Sophie and Angelo. I like cuddles with all of them.

My Aunty Leanne is here too. But not my Uncle Tim or my Dad. They are at work.

Today we went to the park.

I like chucking bark at my mum and my Grandma.

When I climb up the ladder to get to the slide, I count one, two, three, four, five, six. I'm very clever.

That's all for now,
Roman

today

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately. I've been sick, mum's been sick and dad's been sick. Lots of coughing and green snot at our house. But we're almost all better now.

Today I went shopping with my mum. I walked around for a bit.

When we got home I had my lunch. Then mum put some frozen bread into the toaster so she could have some toast. I wanted bread. Mum said I had to wait because it was frozen. I said, "BREAD!!". So mum said "if you want bread, you can have bread but it's frozen". So she gave me frozen bread. And do you know what? I ate it all up.

Yesterday I did some painting with my mum. I loved it very much. I even left little purple and yellow footprints over the tiles.

My bedroom

Hi All,

On Thursday my mum, Aunty Leanne and I went to Ikea and mum bought something for my bedroom. Today my dad put it together (I tried to help but I don't always hammer at the right time or place).

Anyway here's how my bedroom looks now:






In case you can't tell the cube bookshelf is the new thing. It's got my toys on it.

I am sick at the moment. I cough all the time. It's a good thing I had 2 lungs because mum says I must have coughed a lung up.

Bye for now,
Roman
