Dining Out

This morning we went to play centre again and we both had a ball. The other mums (and dad) there are so friendly and it was nice to hang out with other parents. Ruby was very happy to see Zack and ran over to give him a cuddle...Zack still isn't impressed. Zack had lots of fun playing on the big kids slide, wasn't at all interested in the little slide. I got a couple of raised eyebrows from nervous mothers about him being on it, but he managed well and I kept a very close eye on him. Today Zack tried something new...a ride on the trolley. The kids do circuits of the grounds on it, it holds up to three kids. I thought Zack would freak out but he loved it and even when there was no one to pull it around the yard, he just sat there waiting for someone to come and pull him. I felt so proud that his fear of new things is slowly diminishing.

After lunch Zack had a massive three and a half hour sleep, so I tidied up and put his paddling pool together (I found the missing piece last night) so hopefully the weather will be nice tomorrow and he can play it in while I do some gardening.

My brother Brett (aka Uncle Fork) came up to Auckland this afternoon, he is working out at Devonport for the rest of the week. Zack was so happy to see him, he always has massive smiles for him. It is really nice to see Zack recognizes him even though we don't see him very often. Mum took us all out to dinner at an Indian Restaurant. Zack was pretty well behaved considering we didn't get home until just after 10pm, two hours after his normal bed time. He made a hell of a mess, but the guys really loved him and wouldn't let us clean any of it up and gave Zack THREE lollypops. We are welcome back there anytime.

Tomorrow we are hoping to visit Lex and Sahria but Lex has her mother staying and it seems she has a tummy bug so will have to wait and see if they are up to it.

Till Tomorrow
