On Sunday we went to the zoo with your Aunty Chantel, Andrew and your cousins (and a friend of Mikayla), which meant we walked around with 8 kids. Luckily it wasn't as challenging as it sounds as you were all so well behaved. Your big cousins (especially Ella) always want to take special care of you so you were smothered in love from beginning to end.
I love how you get to sit in the stroller that your cousins brought along for Harry. And then Andrew looks after you despite having 7 other kids to look after while your dad and I walk around and look at the animals. He's a good guy :)
In September we are going to Rottnest with your cousins so we're looking forward to you spending even more quality time with them. We find that when you're around the big kids you take a little while to warm up (it can be overwhelming at first) but then you find your groove and start cuddling them all eventually (this weekend you especially loved cuddling Quentin).
Yesterday we caught up with Mother's Group at Chipmunks again (our local playcentre). You surprised me greatly when you climbed up the giant inflatable slide without any encouragement and slid down like a champion. It really is amazing watching you grow (and so, so quickly at that). It was a bit awkward however when we were waiting for chips we had ordered and you decided you couldn't wait anymore so you wandered over to a stranger's table and just helped yourself to their food. They were very kind and obliged you but after a chip or two I had to stop you, which of course ended in a meltdown until your own precious chips arrived.
I then lost you a little while later and while scouring the playground for you and starting to panic, Gareth from Mother's Group noticed that you had walked up to a table with leftover fairy bread on it and helped yourself to someone's leftovers. Lovely.
Don't change, Machu Machu.
Love,
Mum xxx
