William's Latest Adventures

William has been busy over the last few months learning loads of new words and phrases, moving into a toddler bed, giving us sleepless nights (which are slowly getting better), getting more teeth, having two year assessments at the hospital (which he has passed with flying colours), going to the zoo with friends and attending birthday parties as well as trips to the beach.


I don't know about this Thomas, I think we might get into trouble - you go first!

Christmas & New Year Adventures

We have just come back from 2 weeks camping in South Australia on two of the most beautiful beaches, Coffin Bay and Memory Cove.

William had a absolute ball - he caught his first fish and handled many others - not scared in the slighest. He ran on the beach with the other kids - got very very dirty in the soft powered dirt and learn't loads of new words.

He has two new teeth, got an infection in his toe and on his hand from cuts which both cleared up really quickly and slept very well snuggling in at the end of each day, rising early for more adventures.

He tried Abolone for the first time and prompty called "more" to the delight of the crowd. He charmed everyone in the group with kisses and "nigh night" and waves each bedtime.

Paul made a birthday cake for me and William licked the mixer whilst covered in dirt. The in car DVD player was worth every penny - William was great for the 18 or so hours it took to get there and another 20 hours back!! He did better than me, that's for sure!!

He had loads for adventures, but I'll let the pictures tell you the rest - Enjoy!

I think I'll be a fisherman like Daddy, but Mark caught this one!

Shall I give him a kiss Mummy?

Thanks Mark - I'll take it from here!

Can I wind it in now Daddy?

Mum won't be happy when she see's me.

Oh well, what can she do - ground me?

I think I might be in trouble
Yummy - Cake!!

Cake Monster

William has been helping me bake ginger bread men and Christmas Cake. He pulls the chair upto the side of the bench and gets upto all sorts of mischief. I was cutting out gingerbread men, turned away and he picked the cutter up and had a go himself (picture below). Then, whilst I was icing the men, he stole 2 when I wasn't looking!!

After creaming the butter, sugar and eggs for the Christmas cake, I gave him one of the beaters to lick and when I turned away to get the fruit he dipped the beater back into the mixture and he had the most mischievous look on his face when I turned around again!!

William turned his bike over and was "fixing" it like Paul fixes his bike, so Paul gave him two spanners and he preceded to fix his block cart (picture below). He is copying a lot of things we do and say so when I said "bugger" the other day, William followed suit!!!

William loves eating cake too - I made a batch of mini banana muffins and he ploughed through them in a couple of days - he saw them when he woke up from his nap and he yelled "cake".
