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!!"

That's all for now,

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.

Things I shouldn't say

Hi All,

Sometimes I say things that I shouldn't say.

For example...

Today when mum was changing my poopy nappy, I said, "I smell like a turd." After I said this my daddy laughed nervously (perhaps he was nervous because he knows where I learnt that word).

I've also been know to say "nutsack." For example, while watching the cricket - "ball hit his nutsack!!"



But I also say lovely things like:

"Mummy, very pretty" and "Daddy, you very pantsome."

I hope the good outweighs the bad...

things i LOVE

Hi All,

How are you? I'm OK. I've had a cold for the last week so I've been a tad grumpy.

Mum bought me a little cash register the other day and I LOVE it. I love it with all my heart. I love to play shopping with mum and dad and my teddies.




I also still LOVE my milk. Apparently mum is trying to teach me to be "responsible" because now after I've finished my milk I have to take my cup and put it in the sink.


I also LOVE cutting things. The other day mum left me alone with my scissors and a box of tissues. BIG MISTAKE.


Those are some of the things I love. What do you love?

VERY EXCITING NEWS!!!

Hi All,

Today I did something very special. I only know that it was special because mum and dad got very excited. Would you like to know what I did?

I did a wee in the potty!!

Yep. I actually got wee in the potty.

I've sat on my potty quite a lot. I've got a book that I read on the potty. I've talked to mummy while I've sat on the potty but I've never actually used it. Until today.

Because I used my potty I got a special sticker to stick on my cupboard. It's a sticker of a red car which reminds me of The Wiggles.



Mum and dad said that whenever I do a wee or poo in my potty I can have another sticker to stick on my cupboard.

That's all for now,

Favourite things

Hi All,

One of my favourite things to do is to cuddle under a blanket with my mum or dad.



So that's what I did with my mum this afternoon. It makes me happy.

I also went shopping this afternoon. It was good fun because I stood on my head in the middle of the shopping centre and I also drank most of mum's thickshake.

Good times.

Bath

Hi All,

Today I had a bath. I decided that it would be a good idea to put the face washer on my head.



That got quite a good reaction (it got my photo taken!) so I decided that I would add a boat as well:



Good times.

Also, if you ever wonder whether advertising works, ponder this - when I was having my bath I told my dad, "Tired? Stressed? Feel better on Swisse. From the ads from the cricket."

Yep. I think we watch too much cricket.

Haircut for mummy

Hi All,

Today my mummy and Aunty Leanne went for haircuts and I went along to keep them company.



This is a photo of me and my mum.

Tonight I'm going to see some of my friends that I haven't seen since last year. I'm really looking forward to seeing them.

Also, some of my new favourite sayings are:

"Are you kidding me?" and "That is fantastic!"

My first celebrity crush!

Hi All,

Dad told me that it would happen one day - that I would fall in love with a celebrity and that I wouldn't be able to think about anything else.

Well it's happened.

About a month ago, we all watched a show on TV about a lady called Susan Boyle. She was a contestant on a TV show called Britain's Got Talent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY). She sang a song from Les Miserables called I Dreamed a Dream. On the show there were some judges (one was called Piers).

I loved it!! I got so upset when the ads came on - I would say, "Where Susan gone?" and would not be happy until she came back on and then I would watch transfixed. I never sit down for an hour to watch a TV show but I didn't move a muscle the whole time Susan was on TV.

Although I haven't talked about her much I've been thinking about Susan a lot and this morning I said to mum while I was eating breakfast,
Me: "Mum, where's Piers?"
Mum: "He's in England"
Me: "Oh"
Mum: "What's the name of the lady you're thinking about?"
Me: "Susan, Susan Boyle"
Mum: "She's a good singer, isn't she?"
Me: "Yes"
Mum: "What song did she sing?"
Me: "Dreamed dream"

Mum says she's going to buy me Susan's CD because I love her so much.

Childcare

Hi All,

I'm very excited because today is my first day back at child care for the year (I think my mum is excited too...).

I like child care. It's only 2.5 hours but it's good because I like Judy and Robyn and I like seeing my friends. I get to eat food and play lots. Mum is happy because she and daddy are going to go and out and have breakfast while I'm there.




This photo of me is before my hair cut.

Anyway... did you know that I can say the whole alphabet? Yep, I don't know who taught me (neither do my parents because they didn't do it) but I know it. I can teach you if you like.

Bye for now,
Roman
