What Should We Do Today?

Makoa and I are a couple of social butterflies and have something planned just about everyday - I know you must be so shocked to hear that! Today we had a play date with Jenny and her boys, but they got sick and had to cancel. While we ate our brekkie I asked Makoa what he would like to do today and he said he wanted to go to the library. So, after I put in a load of laundry, turned on the dishwasher and put the clean doona (*duvet*) on my bed, we were off.

The new thing is that Makoa likes to push the stroller. His hands start falling asleep and I told him to put his hands down to shake the blood down. I also tried to show him how to push the stroller near the buttons that are lower down on the back of the stroller. Makoa took it a bit literally, and now we have to stop quite often to shake his hands down low and to push the buttons to help his hands from shaking. As you can imagine we don't make it anywhere very quickly!

What time does our bus come Koa?

First stop was our favourite gelataria at the Italian Forum. We tried the new strawberry and forest berry flavours.

Then a play at the fountain - the statue is an Italian poet.

It took awhile to try and balance my camera on the fountain so that I could capture the two of us - thank goodness for timers.

We finally made it to the library which has several of these (I don't even know what they are called) and Makoa LOVES them and could sit and move the beads for an hour.

He found a few movies to check out and Makoa used his very own library card - very exciting!

Hope you are enjoying your Thursday as much as we are!

How fun to be able to follow you guys around on your day!! I love reading about the "everyday" things in your life--makes me feel like you at least live in the same hemisphere!
