We ventured into the city on the train to see a show – I love the theatre! This show was called Carnival of the Animals and it was at the arts centre. it was all mime, and acrobatics. It was amazing! I was anxious about Daniel and his behaviour but he was mesmerised! not once […]

Birds of prey and saying bye to Vio
In line with Alex’s interest in birds of prey, I organised a visit to ‘Full flight’ which had an open day at it’s new location near Ballarat. It was a long drive with these 2, they are not fans of being in the car for too long. The bird show was great – it included […]
Playdates – the good, the bad and the ugly!
Since it’s the school holidays and scienceworks was crazy, we’re doing a lot of staying at home. We had some HS friends over on Tuesday so that I could discuss some plans with the mum about her new science club and she wanted me to be involved. Alex was being very difficult and not particularly […]
Pigeon babies, snakes and tyrannosaurs
Vio took the kids to his parents and Alex was happy to see 2 baby pigeons. To me they are so ugly but he adores them! We played at home for the rest of the day whilst Vio did some more handiwork – he’s been working on upcycling the kids cot to a kids sofa […]
Cars, parks and pigeons
After a long morning at home with Vio doing jobs around the house and me and the kids cleaning the cars, we went to our local skate park. This is a favourite as we can also walk there. It was really nice for both kids to have someone’s attention. It’s often just me with them […]
Water marbles and painted toes
I received some water marbles with an order I made. So we decided to see what they were like. We added a tube to a bowl of cold water according to the instructed ratio. The marbles apparently increase in size over the course of 6 hours. This kids were quite intrigued by this and came […]
Books, birds and transformers
After getting some library books, Alex asked me to read one to him. He would ask me if I’d read the page and would repeat my last few words whilst pointing to them in the book. I hear him whispering to himself alot – playing with words and working out sounds when he associates the […]
Transformers, planes and snakes!
Three of Alex’s favourite things. Adding to the list would probably be chips, ice cream, long trains and birds of prey! We’ve been playing transformers a lot recently – it seems to be Alex’s ‘special time’. He really held on to that idea of special time from Hand in hand parenting. He would have special […]
Bird watching and some maths
We took another trip to Serendip Sanctuary to see it at our own pace. Alex told me that he wasn’t interested in birds generally, just birds of prey (and pigeons of course!!) We didn’t see much other than a Tawny Frogmouth (in captivity and wild). But it was a nice few hours. On the way, […]
