A Bear, a Monkey & a little Monster!

Now I know that this is a night late but we had a little incident with the laptop yesterday afternoon that stopped me from using it… The incident with a cup of water and my laptop.

So the week…

Monday – trip out to Days Bay. A fantastic day and an awesome trip. We made saw lots and explored heaps. Then… Cooper ran into the water and sat down! The coveralls worked surprisingly well and when I stripped him down his socks were still dry! But the outside of his coveralls were very wet.

Tuesday – A trip on the train. Cooper’s first train ride (well with the exception of the Silverstream Railway ride). The trains were running a little late so we had to wait at the station. We got on the train and off we went… He wasn’t too sure to start with and we got our tickets from the train guard. Once he realised that he could see out the windows he got a bit more excited. We went from Silverstream to Upper Hutt. Once in Upper Hutt we got a Mr Potato Head toy for Cooper (he was very interested after Toy Story 1). We met Tim at the train to catch it back after Tim had finished work. The trip back was a lot better, he spent quite some time showing Tim the new toy and got quite cocky about the ride back.

Wednesday – Library day. We got three DVD’s on loan for Cooper which he is enjoying immensly.

Thursday – Housework and Groceries day. One cute thing that Cooper did was put his Teddy’s down for a sleep. He is really starting to become a proper little boy that plays and everything.

Friday – a trip over to Ness’s house to see Ness and Ella then back home for a sleep. After that we headed to Upper Hutt to go to H2O extreme (a first for Cooper and I). It was quite heavily chlorinated (more than Huia) but Cooper loved it so much he was still eager to play after 45 minutes in the water.. but alas, it was time to hop out, get changed and meet Daddy after work.

Saturday – Markets then home for the morning as it was pretty darn cold. In the afternoon we headed out to KMart in Porirua to have a look around. We came away with $6 worth of plastic animals (a bargain for 32 pieces) which Cooper has really enjoyed playing with.

I would like to point out Cooper’s cute word of the week is “cool” – everything is cool! And his repeating back to you what you have said is getting better and better. I am really impressed. He is also really getting into kisses (giving and blowing) as well as hugs. He even gives his teddies kisses when they have sleeps. The other thing that he has become very aware of is clocks. He makes the noise (similar to a horse though) and points to his wrist. He even pointed out the clock at the swimming pools on Friday. Here he is wearing Reg’s watch just to show how “cool” he is.
