It’s The Book Of My Days, It’s The Book Of My Life



Crossword Or Sudoku?

Here’s Thaïs’ most recent attempt at the daily crossword…

Crossword or Sudoku

I guess at her age it doesn’t really matter what you fill into those little boxes… :)

Here’s something else I came across… I guess my mum’s pretty addicted too!!

Just Another Day

School started about 2 weeks ago. Thaïs was pretty excited about the whole thing, being a new school and all that… So far she has no complaints, which is a good thing. Let’s hope it lasts… At the old school, she’d come home everyday with at least one complaint :)

Here she is balancing work with play…

Football

She changed positions after a while. Now she’s the goal keeper:

Changed again.. I guess being the goal keeper was too.. umm.. boring… :)

Football

Aah.. Finally!! I get the ball…. :)

Cake Is Supposed To Be Chocolate…

Tried out a new recipe today — Beetroot Cake. Thaïs took one look at it and said,”Uh-oh… What’s that? Stay away from it everybody!”

Beetroot Cake

Grandma: That’s beetroot cake. Taste it.
Thaïs: No way!
Grandma: Why not?
Thaïs: That’s not cake… Cake is supposed to be chocolate…!

The Last Days Of Summer

Summer’s almost over, much to Thaïs’ regret… School begins in about a week’s time :( Here are some more video clips of Thaïs having fun in the pool.

She graduated from the kiddie pool to the ‘big’ pool last week. I bought her a kick board two days ago, and now she thinks it’s her license to jump straight into the deep end of the ‘big’ pool.

This is one of the rare occasions where she actually uses the kick board like it is supposed to be used… at the beginning of the clip, anyway….

Most of the time this is what she does in the deep end…

And here she is playing with the kick board…

After all that, it’s no wonder that she has a tan!!

Thaïs' tanned back

Pool Time

As I mentioned earlier, Thaïs is now learning how to swim. She’s making pretty good progress, but refuses to swim when I have the camera out… Camera shy, maybe?? But she doesn’t mind me taking video clips with my phone…

She likes somersaulting and doing hand-stands…

I think she got stuck here… needed an extra kick!!

Where’s My Cell Phone??

Here’s what happens when you leave your cell phone lying around within easy reach of a naughty 4-year-old:

Do you think she was trying to look up her nose??

Summer Holidays

The summer holidays have started, and as the pictures show, Thaïs has a lot of time on her hands.

We’ve started teaching her to swim, actually Mario teaches her, I don’t swim, and she’s made quite a lot of progress. From a cute turtle-paddle on the first day to actual freestyle strokes on the fourth day, I think she’s doing quite well. It took her about 3-4 days to get used to the feeling of being under, but after that it’s been smooth sailing. Thankfully, she seems to have absolutely no fear of the water. Will put up the pool pics with my next post…. Yes, there will be another!!

I’m Ba-ack

OK… It’s fairly obvious that I haven’t been around here much lately and it has been quite a while since my last post. A lot has happened… so much has changed… maybe someday I’ll be able to talk about it. For now let me just say that these fairly recent goings-on have been the reason for my extended absence. However, I’ve been pretty active on Plurk and Twitter. I guess 140 characters or less suits me better ;-)

Got a renewal notice from my hosting service about three weeks ago. Thought about letting the whole thing expire… for about two seconds… then realized that I couldn’t do it. Given that this blog is mainly about my daughter and her ‘eccentricities’, I know there will be many opportunities to exploit the howlers she comes out with. And how I love doing that !! (As long as it doesn’t embarrass her, of course)

Here’s a short video clip, taken by my brother, of my daughter putting on some pretend-makeup… (I think)…
