Halloween

I love clothes. I change mine at least ten times a day. Even when I go to daycare I ask Mum what other clothes I've got in my bag to put on.

Over the last few days instead of normal clothes I've been playing dress ups and using all my costumes.

I'm not quite sure what I'm trying to be here (Mum thinks maybe Aunty Louby)

Then a pussy cat

Then a fairy, I even got Mum dressed up as a wizard, it was Halloween afterall!

Plus I've also been a baker and a ballet dancer. I really wanted some big kids to come trick or treating to our house tonight so I could see their costumes. I bought lollies and everything for them but none turned up.

Angela - our nanny!

We're really lucky at the moment as we have a nanny student for 3 weeks. We're supposed to be helping her learn about looking after kids but we all think she's so wonderful we should just keep her.

She plays lots of fun games with me and has me doing all sorts of exciting activities like making bracelets and hot air balloons. Then I take charge and we play schools and having picnics.

Alex's christening

On Saturday 17 October, I (Alex) was christened. I'm just putting the date in because the priest said I have to celebrate it like another birthday - party, party, party. Plus when certain people were quizzed about my actual birthday they got it wrong! Not mentioning any names Dad and Aunty Kathryn!

I was a very good boy all day. I had a big sleep, Mum even had to come and wake me up so I could get up in time for it. It may have had something to do with the fact that I had found my thumb to suck on!

Then I got dressed up in a frilly white dress...

Then they tried to drown me, but I didn't cry....

After that I was tired so I went back to bed, but Mackenzie said it was worth it because she loved the party.

Thanks everyone for sharing my special day with me and for all my presents.

Sleepy wee fellow

I was waiting patiently for Mum and Mackenzie to get organised one day so we could go out and thought I'd just take a little nap on my playmat...

Cost cutting

I came up up a brilliant idea to save Mum and Dad money....

When we go on holiday I can just pack myself into a suitcase - I can even fit Alex in to keep me company!

My other career

So if the doctor thing doesn't work out I might be a ballet dancer - I'm even good at the quick changes for all my different dances.

Doctors

I want to be a doctor when I grow up and now I've got my own real life patient to practice on.

I'm not tired Mum....

I'll just fall asleep in the middle of eating my cracker!

Up to mischief

Two kids up to mischief and playing games together already.

Shopping

We went shopping for some new clothes for Alex and I and I bought an......

umbrella

Oh well it was on special and it matches my coat and raincoat - lucky the weather has been rainy this week.

All aboard

My favourite game at the moment is playing going to school.

Here I am along with all my friends on the bus on the way to school.

First we have to stop at day care though to drop Alex off.

I keep talking about going to school, Mum thinks I want to skip the whole being 4 thing and jump straight to 5, after all I am a big pre-school girl now.

A busy weekend

We had a very busy weekend.

We went to stay at my Granny and Grandad's at the end of the week while we got new carpet put down and they bought me this pretty new dress.

Once the carpet was down we then had to put everything back in the house. I helped Dad with his books and pretended to be a Lion in a cave.

Then because I'd been practising being very good every night when I went to bed I got to go to Old McDonalds (McDonalds to everybody else).

I got it!

Look I managed to catch my thumb!

Thanks Uncle Geoff and Aunty Alex

This is Alex in his cool giraffe outfit that Uncle Geoff and Aunty Alex bought him.

(Alex is 12 weeks old today).

Fairy Dancing

Today Mum took me to a special fairy dancing class.

You get to choose a fairy costume and then dance to fairy songs, even the teacher is dressed as a fairy!.

It was lots of fun. Mum thought I was very clever doing everthing the fairy teacher showed us and Alex was a good boy and had a wee nap in his car seat while I was busy.

Visitors

Uncle Geoff, Aunty Alex and Uncle Ali came to visit for the weekend.

I told Mum that "I like Uncle Ali and Uncle Geoff but I really like Alex, the girl, the best."

Thanks for spoiling us with lots of presents. Come back and visit again soon.

Father's Day
