Erin learns to pedal

We bought a second hand tricycle for Erin as we were not sure she would even use it. But after a few tries she got the pedalling motion right and was off. It is also handy having a handle on the back for when she gets tired and wants to be pushed home.

Erin's 2nd birthday

The theme for the party was a "Pink Party" and everyone was requested to come in something pink. 10 little people (along with the careers) came to Erin's birthday. Kainen, Albira and Noa from church, Isabo who is a sibling of Carola at Owen's school, Thomas, Freddy and Harry who we have regular playmates with, Diya who attends Aspire children's programme and Caity and Cameron.

Two year olds have very limited attention spans so we played pin the tail on the donkey, sleeping bunnies, pass the parcel and made pizza. There was a dressing up corner, art corner and Paul provided the animal balloons. Erin was very excited when it was cake time and happy to be the centre of attention. Before everyone left we had 2 stories - The tiger who came to tea and Mr. Wolf's pancakes. Erin had fun and got lots of presents which she unwrapped and pushed around in her shopping trolley.

It was all well worth the effort and Erin loved her day!

Church Nursery

Erin goes to church nursery once the sermon starts. One of us goes with her as she is still VERY happy to have the mom or the dad close by. The toddlers listen to a story, draw, play musical instruments and have some free play. Brendon and I have signed up to serve on the Kidz Club nursery rooster so we are pleased to be back in our groove.

Quality time with Daddy

Erin's first haircut

Erin is 21 months old now, weighs 12kgs and is a force to be reckoned with. So today we decided to brave whatever fate was in store for us and take her for a haircut. To our amazement she sat through the whole experience unphased and entertained by "Tom and Jerry". As her reward she went on the horse merry-go-round that is strategically located outside the salon!

Tea for two

Erin had a play date with a friend from church. They had tea, played in the garden and had a good time. After a couple of hours Erin, fetched her shoes, my shoes and my handbag to make sure that I knew that she was ready to go home.

The naked one!

For the past couple of weeks Erin's thing has been to take off her clothes and then her nappy. Anywhere any time! Luckily there have not been any presents left for me when I don't get to her in time.
