Cats etc in Wagin
Uncle Steve also has a cat, Ted. Ted had no doubts at all about David. As Steve said, he was convinced that David was a bogeyman, and behaved accordingly. I saw Ted a couple of times, but David only saw him disappearing into the distance.

Catch up photos - January 2008
This is the carousel or mery go round at Darling Harbour. It has the old fashioned steam or pipe organ music, and horses and sleighs for riding. David & I went into Darling Harbour on the light rail, then played in the fountains (his feet were really wet) then had two rides on the merry go round. The first time on the sleigh, then this second time on the horse. David had a great day.
This second photo is of David playing with his Duplo train set. He is older and playing a lot more constructively with the Duplo. Of course it really helps if we play too .... And it is a lot more interesting. We make trains, farms, zoos, and I add the fences, flowers, trees and other girly bits! One of the best things for him still is the noise when he tips up the whole box of Duplo onto the floor.
The new year - and how life is sometimes

Christmas 2007 and a photo at last!
Even now (in March) he still really likes a model 30's Chevrolet vintage car we bought in Moonee Ponds, which he chose himself from a car and cigar shop. The doors open backwards and the dickey seat opens.
Reg was very quiet and tired for most of the holiday, but enjoyed David, and David enjoyed showing him things, and helping operate grandad's chair. David was very gentle with him, and very cautious when grandad was asleep, so as not to wake him.
David was out of the highchair on this trip and sitting having dinner with us all at the table. Generally he was sitting between grandad at his new chair, and me. One night we had takeaway roast chicken, and chips. Well, David discovered chips (in a big way). He had a few on his plate, with the rest of his dinner. He ate those, saying "chippies" over and over and then happily stole the majority of mine, off my plate and then stole grandad's chips. Chippies is a new favourite. We suspect that he has been trying a few somewhere else recently, because when I tried him with them months previously he said he didn't like them!
That is all for now. I will try to cover more territory chronologically in the next little while.

March already & starting daycare
It went well, but he is not sleeping well - he is yelling out at me from bed as I type this.
David went from 10.00 am to 3.00pm. He didn't eat the food, but he did have a short sleep. He liked the toys - he played in the sand pit, and with two fire engines and a digger. We came home to see Dad before he headed off to Brisbane and Perth for just over a week. After a long bath, a play, a DVD another play and two long books, he should be sleepy..... But perhaps not.
As well as a couple of trial visits before Christmas and one in January, we went twice last week. David went it alone for half an hour last Thursday, and had his nappy changed by one of the girls.
He is enrolled for three days a week - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. He likes it and all the toys. We will see how long before the novelty wears off.
I am hoping to have coffee tomorrow with someone from Zurich. Wish us luck!
