Down the Big Slide

Going down the big slide with Daddy at Aotea Lagoon last weekend.

Sprouting Kumera

The kumera I am sprouting is looking just about ready for Spring to arrive. The thing is reminding me of the giant tree in Laputa.

Painting

Painting on silk with Tutu. According to Tutu, he saw a silk scarf she had just pinned up to work on and said "Oh! Is that for me?" How could she resist?

Stow Away

Sebastian curled up in Tutu's suitcase this morning. Tutu and Grandpa are off to Hawaii tomorrow. And we head out on our holiday to Rarotonga tomorrow.

A Basket Full of Stars

  We made these star decorations for Matariki. Sebastian had to check them out before we hung them from the ceiling. Here he is very carefully selecting stars from the basket and stacking them up on his table.

Happy Birthday Boy

  He blew out the candles three times, because he kept wanting us to light them again. 

 Sebastian turned three today, and this was the first year he really could grasp the concept of a birthday. He's been excited about it for months. He's been giving all his stuffed animals birthday cards. And he's already picked out what birthday cake he wants... for the next ten birthdays. (This one was strawberry cake with chocolate frosting.)

Birthday Waffles

Sebastian helping me blow out the candle on my birthday waffles yesterday.
