Ways to embarrass your mum

Hi All,

Today I found a great way to embarrass my mum. We were walking into Myer and my dad said the word "heinous" because we'd been listening to a song which had that word in it.

It occurred to me that the word "heinous" sounds a bit like the word "penis" so I said "penis" out loud. Mum hushed me and got a bit embarrassed. So I thought it would be a good idea to say "penis" very loudly, over and over again. Mum started to walk away (I think she was pretending that she didn't know me) so I started to chase after her yelling "Penis, penis, penis" as loudly as I could.

Dad thought it was very funny. Mum did not.

Wombat Stew

Hi All,

Today I went to see a musical called Wombat Stew with mum and dad.



It was really good! I clapped and danced and thought it was very entertaining. I asked mum if we could go again next week but she said no.

Singing

Hi All,

I really love singing, especially Play School songs. I sing them all the time. Sometimes I sing them when I'm supposed to be sleeping (I don't think mum and dad know though).

Here's me singing one of my favourite songs:



Do you like singing?

Shaving Cream painting

Hi All,

Yesterday mum and I did something very fun that we saw on Play School.

We made shaving cream paintings!


Here's what you do:

• Put some shaving cream into a container
• Add food colouring
• Mix it all around
• Put paper on top and press gently
• Scrape shaving cream off
• Hang up to dry

We did it in the backyard and it was so much fun. It was messy but good. I was in charge of putting the food colouring in the shaving cream and mixing it up.

I highly recommend it.

Cooking in the kitchen

Hi All,

One of my favourite things to do is help mum or dad cook in the kitchen. I'm very helpful at pouring, stirring, mashing, mixing and anything else that needs to be done.

I was helping my dad tonight. I helped by putting cayenne pepper into the flour container. Mum said that she wasn't planning on making cayenne cupcakes anytime soon so I got to play with the flour. I stirred it, added lots of salt and some ground cumin. And guess what? It was delicious!




I don't know if you can tell, but I tried a little bit.

Outside at night!

Hi All,

There has been rashes and vomit and general laziness in our house lately which is why I haven't talked to you lately but I'm back.

I love torches and mum bought me a special torch just for me. So last night, dad and I went outside with our torches and we tried to find things.



We tried to find possums but didn't see any. We also did not see any platypus. BUT we did see some bats flying in the sky. Very exciting.

Also, on a different topic, I am pretty convinced I live in Sydney. Mum tries to tell me that I live in Melbourne but I'm not so sure. I'm sticking with Sydney.

Family

Hi All,

I've seen lots of people in my family lately which has been so nice.

My Grammy came to stay:



She played shopkeeper with me and now I am slightly obsessed with barcodes.


Do you think I would make a good pirate?

Exciting things

Hi All,

I've been doing some very exciting things lately! Last week my Grandma and Grandad came to visit which was great but I forgot to get Mum to take a photo of us. Then on Friday I went Ten Pin Bowling with Dallas, Tim and Leanne. I even got to do some bowling which was great. I think I need to develop my muscles because I couldn't quite get the ball to reach the pins. If you'd like to see you can watch these videos:




Also today I went to the zoo and I got to see baby Mali the new elephant! He was very small.

AND tomorrow my Grammy is coming to visit me so the excitement continues! I hope you have excitement in your life too!

My new bed

Hi All,

I have very exciting news!

Yesterday I got my big boy bed!! That's right my old cot was taken down and put away and my new big boy bed put together.



This is very exciting. So exciting, that today I spent my nap time chatting and playing in my new bed rather than sleeping!

I'm growing up so fast - big boy undies, big boy bed. Where did the time go?

That's all for now,

little talk

Hi All,

This is a conversation I had with my mum today.

Me: Hey mum. Could we have a little talk?
Mum: Sure Roman. What would you like to talk about?
Me: Jesus.

So we had a little talk about Jesus. Mum thinks I might be a philosopher.

I was going to post a photo of myself but I was running around too fast for mum to take one.

Chocolate Custard

Hi All,

Do you know how I know that my mum loves me??

Because she shares chocolate custard with me. She's quite partial to it and yet she (sometimes) will share it with me.

She poured me a bowl of it today and then when she turned around and looked at me she found this:



I had spread it all over the bench and was drawing pictures in it.

I'm not sure how much chocolate custard I'm going to get in the future.

What I think about at night

Hi All,

Last night Mum and Dad put me to bed. An hour later they heard me yell out, "EASTER EGGS, EASTER EGGS. HURRAY FOR ME!!"

Then I went to sleep.

Easter

Hi All,

This weekend has been Easter weekend. I have enjoyed it very much because I've eaten chocolate and cupcakes and hot cross buns and chocolate.

Today I got to go outside and find eggs in our garden. This was good fun but then mum told me I couldn't eat them all at once. This was not good.



Easter is good.

(Oh yeah, mum also told me Easter has something to do with Jesus).

Potty Training part 2

Hi All,

I'm sure you're all hanging out to find out how potty training has been going...

Well, mum's been keeping track and here's how it's gone:

	Potty	Accident
Day 1	2	3
Day 2	4	2
Day 3	5	4
Day 4	6	1

So pretty good so far! 3 times today I even told mum that I needed to go rather than her making me sit down.




I have a lot of stickers on my cupboard now which is good. As soon as I do a wee in the potty I say, "Let's get sticker!!"

Potty Training

Hi All,

For some reason, my mum and dad decided that I shouldn't poop and wee in my pants anymore. They decided that I should do my business in the potty instead. I'm a bit annoyed because they never asked me what I thought. To be honest, going to the toilet in my pants has been quite convenient. But alas, no more. Now I have to wear big boy pants (I keep saying to mum, "but I'm a small boy!") and no more nappies (except for sleep times).

I've had a couple of accidents but I've also been to the potty quite a few times so I think I might be getting the hang of it. Here's me on my potty:



I get a sticker every time I do poo or wee in the potty. I love getting stickers.

Hello

Hi there,

In case you've forgotten what I look like here's a couple of photos (actually nine photos).



I'm very excited because it's Easter time and that means hot cross buns and chocolate. I'm also sad because I'm sick. I got a cold off my mummy. I woke up lots last night feeling very sad. When I woke up from my nap today I was crying lots (and had big tears in my eyes). Mummy said that my crying made her sad and I told her, “no – mummy not sad, ROMAN is sad.”

Encouragement

Hi All,

Mum and dad have taught me the importance of encouragement and praise.

This morning I asked mum if I could have a piece of bread. She said, "Sure" and gave me the bread. I said, "Mummy, I am so proud of you."

Yep, I'm pretty sure she felt encouraged after that.

Children's Garden

Hi All,

Today I went to the Children's garden at Botanical Gardens with Mum, Dad, Aunty Tanya and Uncle Cliff.

It was a lot of fun. I climbed up stairs and rolled down hills and walked in water and threw fruit and made it go "fump."




That's all for now,

?

Hi All,

Today we all went to Healesville Sanctuary. We got to see kangaroos and koalas and a platypus and an owl and lots of other things. My dad thinks I have a short attention span because as soon as we'd seen one animal I'd say, "Let's see something else." It was a lot of fun.

My mum did something special for me yesterday. She hung a piece of wool across my bedroom. Yep. How cool is that?? Do you want to know what I do with it?




Can you see?? I turned it into a clothes line. Mum gave me pegs and I spent ages hanging up my undies and socks and tshirts. Mum is so lucky to be able to do the washing all the time.

Sandwiches

Hi All,

Sometimes I like cheese sandwiches.



I like them even better when Mum lets me eat them outside.
