Daddy's Revenge...

This afternoon Phan was trying to watch the Crows football match on Foxtel... Beth however had other ideas and kept trying to get his attention by sitting on his lap... throwing herself into his lap... waving books in his face and making him read them to him... screeching... shrieking... and in general just making a bit of a nuisance of herself. He finally managed to distract her with stickers... so he got to watch the game in peace for a little while... but whilst he was watching the game, this is what he did to her -



















We did a spot of shopping this afternoon and Beth was a noisy, noisy thing who didn't want to be in her stroller and much preferred to roam free around the aisles... She has mastered the "fake whinge" where she kicks up a big fuss when we make her do something she doesn't want to do... but we discovered that if we laugh at her, she laughs and giggles as well... it was as if she realised we had caught on to the fact that she was just pretending... hilarious... but at the same time annoying and embarrassing when you're having to carry your child (who is kicking and shrieking at the top of her lungs) out of the shops. Is it too early to start pretending that she's not my child when she starts these antics? :p

Have just spent most of tonight packing and getting all our stuff together ready for our first "proper" holiday away together as a family... Feels like we've packed more stuff for our 3 day trip away than for our 10 day trip home to Adelaide. We'll have no internet for a few days (oh how will we survive???)... but we'll be back soon with a lots of photos (I hope!)
