Day off hijinks

Had a good day here. Chloes school was shut so we went off to the Aquarium with Freya and Rebecca for the morning - Chloe loved all the fishes and the train ride. All went well - Chloe loved the starfish she saw (her new favourite animal in the whole wide world) and joy of all joys there was one for her to touch.

Chloe loved this and touched gently to begin with but ended up trying to take the starfish home with her.... not a great look.

She also loved seeing all the different sizes of fish - look mumma a big one, look a small one. Eels, sea snakes, Nemo, sharks, spiders, HUGE crabs, starfish, turtles - all were taken in with a two years old aplomb..

When we got to the big shark tank at the bottom there was a diver in there - hooked up to a microphone thingy and he was giving a talk an audience about his job etc... cut to 2 rather intrigued 2 yr olds going right up to the glass of the tank. Chloe then was heard to say - Hello man - what'ya doing?????

On the way out of the aquarium we went into the shop and purchased a starfish toy (to replace the real one Chloe tried to grab) and a squeaky shark - as I feel you are never to young to love sharks.

We grabbed some lunch at the casino (well the food court bit not the actual casino) and then headed home - neither girl had a sleep... Reb and Freys came to have a cup of tea and whilst they were here, Freys decided that she wanted to sit on the toilet - for ages - reb almost dropped dead of shock. So we all got back in the car and headed off to Baby Bunting to purchase a cushie tushie for Freya to have at her home. Not the best idea we have ever had... we had a few baby meltdowns in the shop and then on the way home Chloe dared to lift her hand up in the air - Frey thought she was going to (horrors of horrors) invade "HER" space and it was on.... tears, more tears and yup more tears...

Chloe also came into the hairdressers tonight and had a trim before I got my hair done - she was ok about it - not entirely convinced but it is a start...
