Dorothy is coming to town!

I've just booked our tickets to The New Dorothy the Dinosaur show! We are so lucky that it is happening just down the road from us - all the more reason to party!

Happening at the Brisbane Powerhouse Thursday 7th August - 3 shows. Book your tickets online.

Wigglemania

It was only going to be a matter of time...she heard a Wiggles at a recent kids session and she was hooked!

It's amazing - we've bought a few of their DVDs and she is mesmerized every time we put one on. Luckily, her trance breaks at around the 15 minute mark at this stage.....and that's right when our tolerance runs out. So, it's a harmonious, symbiotic relationship and a great novelty at this stage, as we find her reactions to the DVDs more entertaining than the songs themselves!

It is now only a matter of time, and we will be front row at the concert singing every word and dancing our hearts out. I actually think the dance moves are fantastic.......much needed in this age of childhood obesity.

Wiggles DVDs can be found everywhere. Try Myer, KMart or BigW during the sales for a good deal.

I’m a bit late on the uptake….

..but apple podcasts are just great!

I downloaded Hamish and Andy to listen to at night while feeding Holly/putting her to bed. As the 'over-observant' one takes her time shutting her eyes, I can quietly chuckle at silly jokes and enjoy the rest of my night.....(rather than coming out of the room frustrated and tired myself).

I have also downloaded some Japanese lessons and intend to teach myself some basic Japanese before we go. I say this every time, but this time I mean it. And I have the technology to do it.

There are thousands of other podcasts I want to check out. Let me know if you know of a particularly good one!

Shake Shake Shake

These wooden maracas from Unique Kids are one of the few musical instruments Holly could actually independently play at the moment!
