Stickers

Yesterday morning I had one little toddler totally engrossed in a single activity, staying in one spot, for probably over half an hour - impossible you say?  With this particular energetic toddler, I would normally agree, but here's the evidence:

STICKERS ARE GREAT!!  Campbell had great fun transferring sticker after sticker from the packet onto his drawing he had already scribbled.  I will have to keep it as a special activity to come out when I really need the little ratbag to entertain himself and stay quiet!

18 months old

My wee man is a whole year and a half old now!  Babyhood seems so far away, time just flies!
I managed to get a few decent pics when we were playing outside in the sun yesterday, so here they are...
The one of him wearing his blue merino hat was to compare with a photo taken of him this time last year (at 6 months old) - this was the best photo I could get as he kept ripping it off his head. Hat hating boy!
Check out my blog entries for August 2009 for the comparison shot.

Bathroom pics

Here's a few pics of our flash bathroom, with tiling and most of the painting done.

Beach and butterflies

We went to Warrington beach, about 20 mins north of Dunedin, last weekend when we had to get out of the house for an open home - Dan had to go find a leopard seal that was meant to be there, while he was on duty.  Got a few okay pics, despite having a slightly grumpy teething toddler and a windy day!

We visited the butterfly exhibition at the Otago Museum today with friends - Campbell seemed to enjoy it despite still suffering from teething issues.  Here he is contemplating his gingerbread butterfly....

...and here looking through the glass wall at the butterflies and rainforest plants.

 

And here's a cool green butterfly that enjoyed hanging out on my leg!

From memory it was 27 degrees, and 73% humidity in there - a nice change from cold Dunedin weather!
