Time with Dad

Kate's been a bit crook this week, which means more time with Dad :)

But first, let's re-cap our Tassie-Exiles' time away at Avoca Beach. Noah had plenty of time on the beach... digging holes and shell-hunting mostly.

As you can see, from Noah being in his dressing gown and jimmy-jams, we made an early morning trip to the beach (it was about 2 mins walk from the place we were staying). Just gorgeous.


Back to this week...


Noah was climbing a ladder while carrying this bucket. He realised that he needed both hands, so, voila!

Noah's stringing little sentences together pretty well now. Just a few words at a time. I love it when he does it in unexpected way, like tonight, for example. He was making a strange 'Woooohooohooo' sort of a sound. So I said, "What sort of animal are you being, Noah?". He stopped, and replied, "[A] Noah animal". There you have it - he's just invented another animal.

One of the funniest games we play is the copying game - where I say a series of (largely nonsense) words and he has to copy. Noah thinks it's hilarious! I figure it's probably good tongue-twister practice for him, too. Occasionally we'll swing it around so he leads and I copy... but that tends to get a bit bogged down in blowing raspberries ;)
