More and more like us everyday

by Cam, P and Indigo



As can be expected, Indi is picking up lots of traits and behaviours from her parents. Quickly learning where the chocolate syrup is located in the house was impressive (so impressive that it has had to be moved to the Level 3 Security shelf in the cupboard), but even more impressive was this learning on how to relax after a hard day.

Grab a drink, clothe yourself comfortably, and whack on a DVD. Most importantly, don't look away, even whilst you are drinking, as you might miss a plot twist.

We are impressed Indi. Our work here is almost done.

Well, in another step towards one-ness with our child, we purchased the Baby Rock Records version of Tool over the weekend and it is winging its way from the states.

Click to listen to the lullaby rendition of Sober or here to preview the rest of the lullaby version of the Tool album.

This is quite literally the best thing that has happened for a while. I can't wait for it to arrive and to rock on in my head, whilst Indi is lulled to sleep.

If you want this back, you'll have to pry it from my fingers...

Indi's favourite book at the moment is a photo album of some family shots. She loves it. She has it at mealtime so it gets covered in milk and egg. She wants it where-ever she can take it.

During this car trip and after many reads cover to cover, she nodded off. We have quickly learnt that trying to remove this book from her grip will end in tears - hers, then ours, then hers again.

Easter: Our family needed this

Monday, April 09, 2007 by Cam, P and Indigo







Easter Monday. 3.30pm and a late afternoon dash to Luna Park for a bit of family time after P had been hard at work, X-Raying chocolate overdose victims (i.e. those with un-chewed Easter Eggs stuck in their throats)

We took the obligatory ride on the Ferris Wheel and P went bananas over the loveliness of it all, shedding a tear..."it's just what I always wanted" she wept, before quickly being distracted by the allure of the crazy clowns and their big gaping mouths - 25 points and you win a prize!

Well, we did win a prize. A dragon for Indigo which she promptly tried to eat. "No sauce" she complained, but tried anyway.

Luna Park is great for the middle of a big city. Our family, and Sydney, really need it.

PS, Take a look at Pete's cool photos of our trip to Fiji on Flickr by clicking here, or here as a slideshow.
