Daniel had a bowl of dry cereal and a cup of coconut milk. We were sat at the dinner table as he can make a lot of mess, and he poured the milk into the cereal. He then tried to pour the combined cereal and milk back into the cup from a bowl, so I […]

Swimming, Junior Rangers and 100 hours of karate!
Surprisingly, the 12 millipedes are still going strong! Alex doesn’t check them everyday anymore, but they get an occasional spray of water and some food. There are even seedlings growing inside the tank! Should probably check them out again… Speaking of minibeasts, we took park in a Junior Rangers activity over the school holidays at […]
The Avengers, trains, and a lunar eclipse
Alex has been filling lots of his home time with watching Youtube on his iPad. He rarely uses it for playing games, though there are plenty there. He watches The Avengers, probably his new favourite show. His favourite is Iron Man.We’ve also watched a couple of the movies. He wants me to build him an […]
Back on track!
The love of trains is back. Though we’ve realised it’s more than just trains… it’s length. Alex has always liked building long trains. The number of carriages was his pleasure. It got hard when there were other kids around, we just thought he was not ready to share and similar preschool issues. But we’ve since […]
Lego!
For Christmas, Alex got some lego. He has not been much of a builder with his duplo, except for making towers as high as he could before they fell. A lot of the lego comes in kits – he already has one of a police truck, but I thought I’d just buy a cube with […]
Bitten by a snake
So Alex loves snakes, and has done for more than 6 months now. I decided to join the VHS (Vic Herpetological Society) as a family. This would give us access to information and a reptile expo coming up in March. But as an added bonus, the VHS secretary invited us into his home to see […]
A week of achievement!
So, 3 weeks ago little Daniel broke his leg. He just got up and started to walk and fell down. As toddlers do. Except he didn’t get back up as he’d broken his leg in the fall! So after a few weeks of no baths, water play and restricted sand play we have sight of […]
Backlog blog – snakes
This is Alex with Darci – his ‘pet’ snake. She comes with us to many places. We got her when I noticed Alex playing with snakes in the ‘Keeper Kids’ section at Melbourne zoo and spending hours in the reptile house as we are regular visitors. Since getting Darci, we’ve been exploring snakes – […]
