The Astronaut & the Yoga Champion

Today we walked down to the library for story time. We had a great time, the theme was Dogs and Dante enjoyed the craft at the end which was decorating a picture of a dog with lots of crayons (I was delighted to see some crayon on some paper for once!) and glue and sticky things which he made for his dad.

We also bumped into an old man who introduced himself to dante as Santa - Dante recognised him straight away anyway with the long white beard but was curious as to why he wasn't in his santa clothes? the man explained it was his day off. Such interesting people we meet down at Dickson, our local shops.

After we walked out of the library Dante saw something that so obviously resembled the "space station" and promptly went to work on fixing it. He has a DVD on the real space station and his favourite bit is when the astronauts leave the space station to fix the outside of it. He is showing me here, how they do it:

Some people have asked about how I am getting around with two kids. When I was pregnant with Dante I didn't even think of purchasing a pram that would eventually be able carry two children so of course, we brought the one pram that doesn't come with any toddler attachment etc.

Luckily at the moment, Claudia is small enough to squish in the back while dante rides up front when he gets too tired to walk. It works a treat now, even if I do get horrible stares from mothers who push their two children in their $1000 pram. I am sure they hurry off to rat me out to welfare, but both kids seem to quite enjoy it all .....


Even when it all gets way to much and they both need a rest. At the moment they enjoy each others company enough to tolerate the claustraphobic conditions. The way we force Claudia to flex about in the pram assures me she will become a yoga champion!


Even when we get home and the pram is packed away, these two can't get enough of each other, claudia is more than happy for Dante to show her how to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes" I am amazed that she even tolerates the eye gauging when they get to "Eyes, Ears & Mouth & Nose"
But eventually it all gets too much and Claudia starts looking for a feed, she has realised that Dante can't help her out there, no matter how hard she tries to convince him.
