Two For The Price Of One

I few weeks back I did a post about nothing, as nothing really happened that was worth writing about, but I did the post anyway which, I later regretted. Well yesterday not much happened, so rather than put a post up, I didn't do one, and decided that I'd do one today, that would cover Monday and Tuesday.

Jarvis' imagination is really coming on and something that Adrienne and myself try to encourage. Well yesterday he used it to its fullest and built a space ship from his table and chairs and took Adrienne and us for a ride into space. We even went for a space walk.

Yesterday was my first big step out with Jarvis not wearing a nappy. It went really well considering how nervous I was and checked every ten-minutes or so, to see if Jarvis needed to wee. Sadly, after about 90-minutes I forgot to ask and he did in fact wet himself which, was might fault entirely. My vacuum packed spare cloths came in handy, so there Lisa and Alisa, nah hah. I did realise that I should have taken him to the toilet every 30-minutes or so, as I think he forgot he was wearing cloths and no nappy, and after 90-minutes of being dry, I should have worked that out.

A highlight of the play group though was that we had an Easter Chick hunt that Jarvis really enjoyed, scoring three wee chicks that he took home for his Mumma.

This morning Jarvis and I went with Vanessa and Dane to Birkenhead Point Shopping Mall for a look-see. It's an outlet precinct and one we've heard mentioned before, but never quite knew how to get there. Jarvis and I only really went for a look, so we knew where it was, so we could take Adrienne back another time. I did find a Kathmandu store and picked up the fleece jacket I was after. I have to say though, that the staff at Kathmandu Birkenhead Point are the GRUMPIEST and most HUMOURLESS people I have ever encountered. We couldn't get them to crack a smile or give up more than the minimal amount of courtesy required.

Another BIG BLACK MARK for the outlet store was that we couldn't find a change table in the men's toilet or even the disabled one, so had to change Jarvis on the floor which, I really hate. See the picture below for Jarvis hiding his face in shame for having to have a nappy changed on the toilet floor. C'mon shops, in this day and age you really should offer us parents a better service.

Vanessa wanted to get some Gozleme for lunch, so we went along to the shop with her for a look. Vanessa busted me for flirting with the woman who worked there, but hey, she had the most amazing smile and eyes and I asked the most stupid questions, just so I could chat to her...der!

It was then time to go, but baby-brained Vanessa found out that she's lost her ticket, meaning that she'd have to pay the $19 lost ticket fee. But no, not our Vanessa, Queen of all things dodgey, as she knew a cunning way to get out of the car park without paying. What we did was for Vanessa to drive up to the barrier, as close as she could first, then I drove in behind, put the ticket in and we both sped out. Amazing and what a trick to use if you take two cars shopping.

Oh, and I forgot to add that when Jarvis and I go back into car parks, I pretend that I've lost the car so that Jarvis can find it. He always does and rushes up to the car, gives it a hug and says "I love you car", as you can see in the picture below.
