Spot the Snake

We visited the Eureka Children's Museum in Halifax on Monday and Daniel got a cuddly toy snake from the gift shop. We called him Spot the Snake, but Daniel often doesn't pronounce the letter s...

Daniel: I love you, Pot.

Daddy: Daniel?

Daniel: Yes?

Daddy: His name is Spot. Can you say Spot?

Daniel: Pot.

Daddy: No. Listen ... Spot.

Daniel: Pot.

Daddy: Say sssss.

Daniel: Sssss.

Daddy: Say pot.

Daniel: Pot.

Daddy: Now say Sssss-pot.

Daniel: Sssss-pot.

Daddy: That's brilliant! Spot.

Daniel: Spot!

Daddy: Well done, matey.

Daniel: (delightedly) He a nake!

Garden Party, 18th July

Daniel filled his reward chart for remembering to say please and thank you, and the reward he asked for was: pirate tattoos! Arrr!

Earle


The giant football balloon didn't last very long after it met one of our rose bushes.

Billy just chilling out in the baby gym.


The punch-ball balloons didn't last too long either!

Afternoon snacks for Billy ...


... and Daniel.


The fireworks were the highlight of the party for Daniel. He's been trying very, very hard to persuade me to buy some more ever since. "Fireworks go bang, Daddy! GO BANG! WOW!!!"

(You'll notice I carefully put my beer in a safe place during the pyrotechnics...)
