April Already!

It's now the middle of April, next week Tim is going to Hobart for a week for work so Bailey and I will be by ourselves. We've had a lot of fun times already this month, had a great Easter, especially getting to spend a Saturday just the three of us and going to Centenary Lakes as a family, Tim took some great photos. Last Friday I took Bailey to Australia Zoo again and we had a fantastic time, got lots of photos with all sorts of animals and things, he just loves running around the zoo and climbing all the stairs in the Crocoseum.
Last week we also went to the Active Kids holiday programme the council runs for toddlers, it was a gymnastics one but catered more for older kids. 2 of our friends and their children came too. Bailey didn't really do it properly he just liked the beam and the little trampolines, the rest of the time he was just running around (yes he can run now) and moving the equipment around.
I have to say that Bailey is getting better at playing alone, he can do it sometimes, especially when he's busy playing cars or with the bead maze he got for Easter, though sometimes cooking dinner is still a real battle with him holding onto my legs trying to get me to pick him up, or else emptying drawers and pushing things under the fridge to get my attention!
Library this week didn't go too well, he didn't want to participate at all, just play in the playroom outside, had a tantrum every time I tried to get him to sit in my lap argh! Not sure if we'll keep going to that, we're quite happy with Playtime and Kindy Gym and Playtime has a singing part in it too so we don't really need Rhyme Time as well. Speaking of singing, Bailey can now do the actions to 'Open, Shut them' and 'If You're Happy and you know it' (he loves the stomp your feet verse). Very cute!
Trying the Kindy Gym at the Leisure Centre on Thursday as it's apparantly more geared for young children with smaller bright coloured equipment and stuff. (The PCYC is standard sized beams and bars and rings etc) then on Friday we're going to have a play at one of our new friends houses. So it's all go.
The past few days Bailey keeps taking his bib off and not wanting to wear it, doesn't seem to mind the cloth ones as much but they don't stop the mess as well. Today has been a lot cooler and it was good to be able to put Bailey in his jeans and sneakers today.
That's all for today, lots of random thoughts and things as I hadn't posted in awhile. And oh yeah, we've had a koala in the tree behind our back fence over the weekend, very exciting.
Until next time. :-)
