Anna & Abby

In January we went and visited our friends Abby & Anna Pinder in Te Awamutu. They were back home on holiday from Hong Kong. We all had an awesome day playing and swimming. Ari and Abby loved crawling around and chasing each other. Next time we see them the girls will be big and hopefully walking like me.

Camping at Hot Water Beach

In the New Year Aunty Rosies whanau, Uncle Oki's whanau and us, went camping at Hot Water Beach for five days. We had hot sunny weather and had an awesome time.

I really liked sleeping in the tent and swimming everyday at the beach and stream.

Kayla and I loved climbing the trees and digging for hot water on the beach.

Ari also liked swimming and sleeping in the tent. But every morning her and cousin Pataeno would wake us up really early.

Mum said we will go camping again soon - I cant wait!

Christmas Day 2009

I was soooooo excited about Xmas this year. I left out a glass of milk and choc chip biscuits for Santa and his reindeer. In the morning I loved opening all my presents in my santa sack and helped Ari open hers too. I got a big blue bike with a thomas helmet, and Thomas the Tank Engine trains, books, scooter, clothes. Santa also left me lots of chocolate which I ate all day.

Ari also got toys and clothes and especially liked ripping all the paper and eating it.

All of my Greig whanau came to our whare for Xmas Lunch. Porpor also came as all the other Lambourne whanau were overseas.

We had an awesome day, eating, playing with my new toys and swimming in our paddling pool because it was really hot. I already cant wait until next year when Santa comes!!

My First Day at Kindy

On the 24th of November 2009, I started my first day at Afternoon Kindy at St James Kidsway in Pukekohe. I had already been for a practice day with my mum and Ari, so I wasnt nervous and didnt cry when Mum left me.

I like playing in the sand pit, listening to the stories and singing songs at mat time. My big thomas bag is filled with yummy afternoon tea, although sometimes its a bit heavy for me to carry. I only go for two afternoons a week, but next year I can go for three. My friends Laura, Tommy and Damian also go and have so much fun playing together.

Ari has stopped rolling everywhere and is now commando crawling. She also likes whizzing around everywhere in her walkie. Although now she can reach my 'tommy trains' so mum and I have to put up lots of blockers.

Cheeky!!

Ari and I love doing 'funny faces' and being cheeky. Ari especially likes snuffling where she screws up her nose and makes a sniffing noise, it makes everyone laugh. I just like having sticky cheeks after I eat my favourite ice cream.
