As the weather is now getting warmer, a couple of weeks ago we decided to take Alex for a walk around the Olympic Park site at Homebush. Actually I wanted to get some nice shots of the water fountains at the end of Olympic Drive. We thought that Alex would like the water but he was very unsure of the noise and the water over spray, and wouldn't get close enough to appear in the photos.
Hanging on very tightly to Nana.
The beanie is one that he loves which we bought him back from Sweden. Its decorated with Moose and the Swedish flag.
After seeing the fountains, we carried on a short walk to The Brickpit, which as you would expect it is an old brick clay pit. It is home to an endangered species of frog and lots of waterfowl. It has an elevated observation walkway where a little fella can roam but not get lost. It was a lovely day and quite interesting to see it almost empty so that walking with a littlely was easy.
We get enormous pleasure from watching Alex's reactions to new places. I think he would wear that hat to bed if he could. He seems to have a hat fetish like his grandfather.
Just checking that everything is well made and safe.
The shoes are Crocs which are over size as he likes to just slip them on himself but of course they are heavy for him. He spent most of the day running everywhere and how he found the strength to run in the Crocs I don’t know. He did sleep very well that night!!!!
So did his Grandparents!!!
