How to save water and still have fun...

It's easy... just go in the shower with Mummy and take in your best "butt sized" dump truck and an ice cream container. Don't forget a few other fun toys to play with. Then when Mummy turns the water off after the four minutes you can sit in the water you have collected and still play!

Sam Sits...

Hi everyone!

I am 7 months old and growing really quickly now. I weigh 7.5kg and I am sitting up really well. I babble on and on with noises that sound like "glug glug" and "quack quack".

I am very placid and happy.

I eat lots and lots of different food and so far the only thing I haven't liked is some disgusting thing my Mummy tried to feed me that was a mixture of rhubarb and polenta. I spat it right out and just to make sure Mummy really understood not to buy it again I even threw in some dry retching!

I love watching my brothers play.

When my Daddy tickles my feet I squeal with laughter.

I can also get up on my hands and knees and have started rocking back and forth trying to figure out how to get moving.

I am not sure why but when Mummy saw me doing this she looked around at everything about 30cm off the floor and started shaking her head...then she plonked me back down on my butt?

Will and Chuck

Occasionally my big brother Harrison lets me have a cuddle of his Guinea Pig Chuck. I love cuddling him and call him "Chucky". I like him a lot and he doesn't give me hives the way my puppies do either so that's great!

Things We Learned At Spider Park...

1. The easiest way to navigate a maze is to have your brother climb to the top and give you directions.

2. Going up is a lot harder than going down!

3.If you run...your brother will chase you.



4. Climbing the steps, then going down the slide many many times in a row can make you rather dizzy.



5. To be caught in a spider web with a snake behind you would really be bad luck!

6. If you look and act cool, all the girls want to play with you!

7. Your Mum should dress you in your oldest clothes as after you slide down the climbing wall many times in a row they will be filthy!

8. Watching your brothers play is lots of fun!

9. There's so much to do...you need to make sure you beg to stay "just a little longer".

10. The people who designed spider park are unaware that turtles do not bounce and that even 2 year olds will point that out!

11. Heels make good brakes.

12. When you dig in the sand with a digger instead of in your garden bed at home with your hands...Mummy takes photos instead of getting cross!

13. Hanging upside down really DOES make the blood rush to your head!
