POTD | DAY 11

Today was our weekly trip into the city. The one day a week I get 5 minutes of exercise, running desperately for the train each time.
It’s also the one day we get to meet up with daddy for lunch, the one day we make a special trip into Haighs and buy a milk chocolate frog each (and whatever else mummy is craving at the time), and the one day we make a trip along Birrarung Marr to play on the playground.  Jaedon loves his routines, and he looks forward to Wednesdays because he knows exactly what’s coming. It helps that Trains, Daddy, Chocolate and Playgrounds are possibly his four most favourite things in the world, though not necessarily in that order. And funnily enough, two of those items are amongst my most favourite things in the world also.  🙂

It was far too hot for the playgrounds today though (unfortunately?) so we went for a walk instead, finding a lovely shaded patch of grass by the riverbank, overlooking the city.  There were a few other people taking advantage of it, but mostly pigeons and seagulls – much to the kids’ delight. Jaedon spent a good while chasing them around in circles, and poor Alicia-Rae tried to chase them, but can’t hobble faster than walking pace at the moment, so was walking slowing behind one pigeon who saw no threat and made no attempt to escape.  It kept her entertained anyway.  Me, I took my shoes off and lay down, as you do on a nice patch of grass in the middle of the city. And then I took some photos. Of course.

So my photo of the day today is the kids all tuckered out, having a lay down themselves. Although Jaedon is always too curious about what’s going on around him, so never actually made it to the laying down position. This is as close as he got

I actually got two photos of them in the same frame today, so I was pretty impressed. Though I think they were the only two I got of Jaedon – he is so anti-camera in his face at the moment.

I did get lots of my gorgeous baby girl though (she’s so good to me), and I really love this one of her looking over the city. I love Melbourne!

And a few snaps of her entertaining herself

And I just love this next series.  These are definately being printed big.

My favourite – it’s so her.

And going from slightly unsure to hysterical in 5 seconds flat.  It’s a good thing I know how to make her laugh.

What a truly lovely day – wonderful memories made and captured.
