What a good big sister

Here I am walking back from the lookout near our house, helping my little sister down the steep hill.

The tooth fairy is real!

I found out first hand when I lost my bottom fang and received 2 whole dollars!

Guess who's 6?

Me! And I am the proud owner of an extremely wobbly bottom left tooth that I keep asking mummy and daddy to wiggle on an hourly basis!

Clowning around

Me and sis got a bit bored waiting for dad to return from the shops, so I decided to pull out a few tricks. This one involves me wearing one of Soraya's (not used) nappies on my head. Yaya thought it was pretty funny.

Yipppppeeeeeeee

Here we are exploring Glenelg, which is the seaside village in Adelaide where my mummy's grandma and grandpa once lived.

Daddy, grandpa and their girls

In this photo, there's two of my daddy's sisters (my Aunties) Kate and Helen, me (of course), Grandpa, Daddy and Soraya. We had a lovely breakfast with some of Daddy's family at the hotel they were staying at in Adelaide.

Where's wally flower girl

My Aunty told my mum there was barely one photo I didn't appear in at my Aunty's wedding. But when it came time for mum to take my photo, no sireeeeeee! I blankly refused! Mum was lucky to sneak this shot in while I wasn't looking.

My broken arm

Yesterday I was climbing a tree and fell out. You'd never guess what happened as a result??? Yes, my first broken limb.

And no Soraya wasn't just wearing a plaster cast and sling on the same side as me for dress ups, believe it or not she's got a broken arm too!

We like doing things in pairs ...

Thankfully I wasn't caught ...

... nicking these poppies but I couldn't resist. After all, they are named after me right? I think I'm going to be a florist when I grow up!

A spot of tenpin bowling

This is my first ever time in the alley ... the tenpin bowling alley that is! I scored 84 and nearly beat poor old mum. Dad on the other hand was on fire and scored a number I can't even count up to.

You can see the earnest concentration face on my face ... I had a blast and can't wait for the next visit!

A law breaker at 5

Yes, you are seeing correctly. The man in fluorescent yellow is heading towards me to kick me off the big banana outside of Parliament House. I was doing a little dance on top, when he spotted me. Uh-oh, my prospects of being a law abiding citizen at the young and presumably innocent age of 5 are looking a little in jeopardy.

Climbing a magnolia tree

My climbing skills are coming along quite nicely! I managed to climb this tree in the blink of an eye, and then swing from it just like a little monkey. Nothing bothers me, not even when we flew into Wellington and mum and dad thought we were gonna crash. No, not me. I thought it was so much fun having a bumpy, swaying aeroplane. That's why the prospect of swinging about in this tree doesn't phase me even the slightest!

In a patch of poppies

Here I am, stopping for a moment to catch my breath and admire the patch of poppies at the Botanical Gardens in Wellington. I rode my bike through the gardens, nearly knocking over a granny and riding over the toes of poor unsuspecting little kiddie-winkles who were IN MY WAY!

When the wind blows ...

Make sure whatever you're doing, it's not looking in the same direction that the wind is blowing. I really got hammered today with sand in my eyes coz my timing was a little bit out. Here we are at Scorching Bay, the scenery was divine.

WHEEEEEEEE

Check out the slippery dip at my new school! It's awesome! From the top of the hill at my school, you can see hills all around and the harbour off to the right. It's not a bad spot, even though I do say so myself.

A little ski bunny

Mummy and daddy took me skiing for the very first time to a skifield called Torua. It was beautiful and I had a really great time. Here's me in my outfit after my lesson. I got it pretty quickly and was able to have a go all by myself. My favourite part was the tobogan though, and making daddy carry me up the hill after we slid down!

Unfortunately we had the worst weather in 9 years and the next day the fields were closed due to gale force winds of 100kms+. Mummy and I am going back mid Sept to get some more practice in!

Wellington Harbour

Hi everyone, this is me at my new home in Wellington. This harbour is about a minute walk from mummy's work. We came down to meet her for lunch.

I've started school and am loving it. It's a little bit different from MHPS. For starters, I don't have to wear a uniform - YIPPEE!

There are 22 kiddies in all in my class and my new teacher's name is Hannah Fairburn. She's lovely and I really like her. I have made some friends - Lucy and Jacqui so far. My new school is about a 5 min walk from our new house, so daddy has no excuses for being late!
