I started Kindy!

Yes, you read that right. I am a big boy now and go to afternoon Kindy three times a week.

I have been twice now and love it! I am allowed to do all sorts of fun things, like painting, playing in the sand, climbing things, reading, drawing and hammering real nails!

Mummy has been very brave and will be leaving me on my own tomorrow. I am not worried but Mummy will be very bored for the two hours without me.

Both Mummy and Daddy have seen me in action at the kindy and they are very proud of me. I play nicely with the other children and I don't forget my manners. I like listening to the teachers and can go to the loo all on my own when they remind me to go.

The kindy is about a 10 minute walk away from our house and Mummy says I can ride my bike next week. I can't wait.

Mummy will take some pictures in the week and let you see what it looks like :)

The weeks that were in pictures

Vegetarian Pizza - yummmmy!

 Mummy has been making us vegetarian food lately, it's really yummy.

Greek Rice

 We have been to the ASB Garden Magic Concerts twice this year, I really enjoy them. We meet Daddy at work and then have a picnic supper in the garden while we wait for the band to come on stage. They light up the gardens and there are bubble machines and light displays that move.

My favourite part is eating Gelato in my pyjamas!

This week

This week I have been practising riding my bike. I am slowly growing in confidence and I really enjoy riding on my bike.

We have ridden on the Petone Foreshore and today I got really adventurous and we went to Oriental Parade and I rode to two parks along the waterfront.

It was so much fun. I really did well and Mummy and Daddy were so proud of me!

But even more exciting was the ride to the local shop this afternoon with Daddy to buy milk and bread! I was really sensible and looked out for traffic and tried very hard to ride fast!

Christmas 2010

Happy Christmas to you all!

Well I am a huge fan of Christmas. I loved all my presents and most of Daddy's too. Mummy's are all a bit too mummyish for me. I am quite proud to say I don't have a fixed favourite but I am hopeful that Santa may visit again. I keep checking my room, just in case. 

Hanging up my stocking.

On Christmas Eve, Daddy helped me write a letter to Santa to say thank you for coming all the way to my house. I put it. my stocking and some snacks on the heater so he would know where to find them. When I woke up the stocking was on my BED! Santa came to my room!

After I opened my stocking presents - stickers, a book, stamps, a dvd and bubbles, we went and made Mummy open a present - it was a stove top espresso pot. That way she could try it out and make a new type of coffee for breakfast. We had a special breakfast - chocolate flavoured! I'm never allowed chocolate flavoured cereal. I LOVE Christmas.

Avast Ye! I am Dread Pirate Kian!

After that we opened all our presents. We got rather spoiled. I got lovely books, my favourite new one is a Gruffalo book with sound buttons - we had to stop opening presents so that I could read it with Daddy. Thank you Uncle Wayne and Aunty Ches! I got jerseys and special toys that Nanna knitted and an exciting book, Gramps and Nyamanyama got me lots of special toys including a new drill, Uncle Graeme bought me an awesome wooden pirate ship. 


Mummy and Daddy got me some books too and few other little bits and pieces. 

Unwrapping!

The last present I opened was the helmet I had asked Santa for. But I looked everywhere and couldn't find the blue bicycle that went with it. Mummy said that maybe Santa had run out of money and we could use my new helmet with my old bike. For a minute, I felt really sad and Mummy thought I might cry. But then I thought a new helmet was better than nothing and ran to the garage. 

As I was pulling out my bike, Mummy said she was just going to move something out of my way. When she moved the blanket, I saw my blue bike! I jumped up and down and squealed. Then I was off down the pavement. with Daddy!

Christmas Cookies

Mummy and I made Christmas cookies together and decorated them beautifully. I took them to our neighbours as a little bit of festive cheer and to make up for the many afternoons/evenings of loud giggling and squealing I have subjected them to.

Here are the photos. quickly, before Mummy realises I haven't waited for her to learn photoshop... 

 

Do you want one Daddy?

 

 

 

(oh here's  one of the hamper Nyamanyama and Gramps sent us.)

Making a rain shaker.

Mummy set everything up for me. I just had to decide how to decorate it and then fill it up with macarani (noo-noos).

I really think it looks spiffy. Mummy says she's going to try to sort a video of me playing with it.

So here are the pictures. Excuse my topless-ness, I wasn't really into clothing today.
