This week we had a few adventures, one being a trip to the library, with both the kids. Ulladulla has a brand new fantastic library, with a kids corner, and it was a rainy day, so we thought it would be good to take the kids. Carmie was great. Arley, another story. All he wanted to do was throw the crayons around the library and explore vociferously. We traumatised the other visitors for a good 45 minutes before we left and took the kids for a walk along the harbour. So, we won't be going back to the library in a hurry.
We went to family day at the Commercial hotel, so that Carmie could 'get her boogie on'. We also had a nice dinner at the farm with Lolo and Dida. And I braved taking the kids to the new park at Narrawallee by myself. Carmie is great, but all Arley wants to do is wonder off into the car park to play amongst the traffic.
Arley is saying more and more words, with his new words just over the past few days being giraffe, cup, and drink. He never talks on command though. He still screams "Pad!" at us about a hundred times a day, demanding the iPad. He screams and yells and is a grumpy little guy, with moments of pure sweetness too. He likes to copy his big sister, and even attempted ballet this week. He is definitely shy and self-conscious though, and if you draw attention to him, he often refuses to continue his performance. Carmie, on the other hand, is always the performer, loves her dress-up and make believe. Tonight she called me up to her bedroom, crying, because she wants real fairy wings, not fake ones. She is generally very sweet these days, unless she gets over-tired, and then she is a bit of a nightmare. She loves to play Snakes and Ladders, and Zingo with her dad, and does so every chance that she can get.
Here is a video of Carmie telling me why she couldn't nap (she rarely does these days):
