Just like old times

Get the whiff of Spring in the air. 20 degrees plus, the 15 cherry blossoms on our street (yes, sadly, I counted them) as well as the countless ume blossoms in front yards are all in bloom and starting to scatter their petals on the pavement.

Just Like Old TimesScout’s creche is at the end of our street so it’s a beautiful walk at this time of year. We even have two cherry trees in our backyard, which are a little on the skimpy side, but I’ll give them a couple more years. I did manage to capture the mood of the tree though…

Scout has been cho delightful lately. She chats all day (not much advancement on intelligible words though), hosts extensive tea parties with Teddy and friends (one phrase she has is “da ta tea” which we think means “cup of tea”) and scoots about on her Disney car. She may not be talking yet but her confidence physically astounds me every day. And she’s quite happy to bang on about her feats on her own blog ...

Giddy Up!She’s become genuinely helpful as well – she helped me weed the garden the other day (until she started eating the dandelions) and assisted daddy with the onerous task of raking the front lawn. She wipes her own nose and can even get herself into her pram with the brakes off. Wish she could change her own nappy though.

This yard is a disgrace!Some of her favourite things:

  • Teddy
  • a crappy Dora the Explorer doll for $10 at Safeway
  • her Alphabet poster in her room. She sings the ABC song while pointing to the different letters.
  • Figs and grapes
  • her crayons
  • her tea set
  • Her books “Swim Little Wombat Swim” and “My First Alphabet”
  • Her car phone. She chats on it whilst pushing her Disney car, despite being told she could get fined.
  • Any music with a funky beat
  • the mirror. Can’t imagine where she got that from.
