Been some time...

I haven't been on here for a while. Well actually, not for a month. It is Mick's birthday tomorrow and it was mine last Sunday. We had a good day last Sunday. We went to Pancakes on the Rocks at Northmead and then we went into the city. It is funny because I feel like I am writing a Year One recount of my day - this is something I have been focusing on with the Year One students at school.

We went to the Sydney Wildlife Park next to the aquarium. It was fabulous. Thomas will be going there for a playgroup excursion soon. It will be with his friends from the Shepherd Centre. I wanted to go there with him before he went with playgroup. My reasons were purely selfish but I admit that. I won't get to go with him during the week as I am working full time.

Thomas was in awe of many of the animals. He was fascinated with the butterflies as you enter the park. we saw many lizards and other desert creatures. Tom even had a photo with a python!!! Don't worry, his dad was there holding him while the python sat (or laid) resting around Mick's neck. Tom was not one bit phased!

Thomas and his Granny (my mum) had a photo with a mother koala. Mum loves koalas like I love wombats. Only difference is there were not any photo opportunities with a wombat. Will write more later and load photos on.

Here is a photo of Tom with his lawnmower - he got it for his second birthday back in February!
