It’s The Book Of My Days, It’s The Book Of My Life

Barbie

My daughter doesn’t normally play with dolls. At the toy store, she generally heads straight for the cars and bikes and such. The only doll she owns is the Barbie doll featured in this post, which was a gift on her 4th birthday. After seeing what she did to it, I’m glad she doesn’t have any others…

As if that wasn’t painful enough…

Or maybe, this is her idea of body art??

Crossword Or Sudoku?

Here’s Thaïs’ most recent attempt at the daily crossword…

I guess at her age it doesn’t really matter what you fill into those little boxes…

Here’s something else I came across… I guess my mum’s pretty addicted too!!

Just Another Day

tanya25m — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:20:04 +0000

School started about 2 weeks ago. Thaïs was pretty excited about the whole thing, being a new school and all that… So far she has no complaints, which is a good thing. Let’s hope it lasts… At the old school, she’d come home everyday with at least one complaint

Here she is balancing work with play…

She changed positions after a while. Now she’s the goal keeper:

Changed again.. I guess being the goal keeper was too.. umm.. boring…

Aah.. Finally!! I get the ball….

Cake Is Supposed To Be Chocolate…

tanya25m — Wed, 27 May 2009 12:09:55 +0000

Tried out a new recipe today — Beetroot Cake. Thaïs took one look at it and said,”Uh-oh… What’s that? Stay away from it everybody!”

Grandma: That’s beetroot cake. Taste it.
Thaïs: No way!
Grandma: Why not?
Thaïs: That’s not cake… Cake is supposed to be chocolate…!

The Last Days Of Summer

tanya25m — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:42:42 +0000

Summer’s almost over, much to Thaïs’ regret… School begins in about a week’s time Here are some more video clips of Thaïs having fun in the pool.

She graduated from the kiddie pool to the ‘big’ pool last week. I bought her a kick board two days ago, and now she thinks it’s her license to jump straight into the deep end of the ‘big’ pool.

This is one of the rare occasions where she actually uses the kick board like it is supposed to be used… at the beginning of the clip, anyway….

Most of the time this is what she does in the deep end…

And here she is playing with the kick board…

After all that, it’s no wonder that she has a tan!!

Pool Time

tanya25m — Mon, 04 May 2009 08:56:53 +0000

As I mentioned earlier, Thaïs is now learning how to swim. She’s making pretty good progress, but refuses to swim when I have the camera out… Camera shy, maybe?? But she doesn’t mind me taking video clips with my phone…

She likes somersaulting and doing hand-stands…

I think she got stuck here… needed an extra kick!!

Summer Holidays

tanya25m — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 07:38:42 +0000

The summer holidays have started, and as the pictures show, Thaïs has a lot of time on her hands.

We’ve started teaching her to swim, actually Mario teaches her, I don’t swim, and she’s made quite a lot of progress. From a cute turtle-paddle on the first day to actual freestyle strokes on the fourth day, I think she’s doing quite well. It took her about 3-4 days to get used to the feeling of being under, but after that it’s been smooth sailing. Thankfully, she seems to have absolutely no fear of the water. Will put up the pool pics with my next post…. Yes, there will be another!!
