She was up at 6 am

wanting to go to the shops

Please can we go?

first we stopped at a park near the

shopping centre

she decided to carry my bag.

It is as big as she is.

We bought a dress "at the shops!!!)

(here I had a video of her paying the drum and

walking around but I had to cancel it as it did not

seen to upload

after her nap we spent time in the garden

After her bath, while I was preparing dinner

she did a bit of painting



Pre school pick up

Wednesday 26 October

This morning Shane and Jo (and Joshua)

are gone to the Hunter valley for a few days

with some friends.

Amelia will be staying with us until Sunday

I picked her up at her pre school.

At first she was very chatty.

Ask me about dinner?

I told her we were having chicken as she like it.

She insisted that we had to go to the shops.

I told her that I already have the chicken at home.

Then I said: We will go to the shops tomorrow!

She was very happy with that.

(thanks Jo)

Yes apparently when Amelia wants to go to the shops

Jo tell her that she can go with grand ma.!

Why does she like the shops so much?

Then the car was silent.

Must have been a busy day.

Visit to Milson Point and North Sydney

Saturday 22 October

We went to Milson point to check out the

parking facilities and find out the train

timetable for tomorrow morning.



there was a market.

Claude bought some French crepe

(he did not like it)

We went for a walk along the shore.

They have made a beautiful long path.

When we lived in North Sydney we used to

walk there but the path was not so long and so nice.

 The old swimming pool

decorations of the pool

 we went and look at Luna park

Along that part of the path there were

a lot of little statues

This one was in a park

We had a very nice walk and planned to do it

again and this time take a picnic too.



Baby sitting

Friday 21 October

A beautiful, warm morning.

We went for a walk in  Manly and stopped

for coffee at "the pantry" 

 then continued our walk towards Shelley beach

And it was time to go home for an early lunch.

I had to be at Jo's at 12.30pm to mind the kids.

 When Amelia woke up I had a dance demonstration,

with singing too.

 We played with the Dupplo.

She hammered the blocks together.

She has a little tools box that she loves.

All that time Joshua was happily

playing on his mat

while we were having our dinner I put him

in the walker. He loves the attached toys and

chew on them.

 Amelia ate all her dinner.

she is a bit annoyed with me for taking too

many photos.

Saturday 22 October

 I heard Joshua waking and went to get

him and took him to bed with me

He was very happy just to be with somebody.

Amelia is an amazing little girl.

She got her little chair.

took the weet bix box from the cupboard.

took 2 weet bix

Broke them into pieces in her bowl

got the milk out of the fridge

I had to stop her pouring it, but she helped.

Them she put peanut butter on her toast.

I was not needed.
