Life Under & On The Ocean Waves, by Rory

This week I had no school and summer camp hasn't started yet so Mummy, Rose and I had a fun week at home. We made our kitchen window into an aquarium complete with a whale's tail, fishes, shells and pebbles, pirate treasure, a submarine, a jellyfish and all topped off with a boat floating on top. We read books about the sea, fishes and pirates.

On Thursday we had 'Pirate Day' and I dressed up like a pirate in the costume Auntie Sara sent me for my 3rd birthday. We made a pirate flag.

We made pirate treasure out of clay which Mummy baked in the oven. When it was cool Mummy sprayed it gold with some smelly paint and then I decorated them with gems. My favourite bit of treasure is the bracelet. It has lots of jewels!

Mummy and I talked like a pirate for some of the day. Mummy said 'Yo ho ho and a bottle of apple juice!' Here is me being a pirate;

This week I had some friends round to play. Becca and Tom helped me paint my bird house. The birds like to come and eat seeds from our deck.

Mummy and I are very proud of ourselves as we have walked Ollie every day this week. I like to ride my run bike round the dog park. This week I tried to bike down the hill where I hurt myself last week. This time I got to the bottom safely. I was very pleased with myself!

This week I have been working on being a big boy. Each morning I have chosen my clothes and got dressed by myself. I have brushed my teeth every day without having to be reminded and have used the potty all the time without any accidents! I am very proud of myself and Mummy and Daddy are too.
I'm a big boy now!

(Although I still can't quite get the hang of putting my shirts on the right way round!!)

July 1st is Canada Day so we will post some news about that tomorrow! I love Canada Day and prefer to call it 'Candy Day'!!
