Bed, Bathurst, & BBQ

Hello everyone, gosh I've been sooo busy lately!
This is a picture of my new bed. Mummy dropped the base of it to floor level, then sat it up on my drawers, bookcase and desk. Then she put mesh material across the top (so I didn't stand up and put my hands in the fan) and made some curtains to go across the front (I picked out the material, it has rainbow stars on it) It was one meter off the ground and was like sleeping in a little tent. I had a little light on the bed head and there was a little bucket for my bottle that I could pull up on a rope when I woke up.
(The curtains were not finished off here) As you can see, I just LOVED it. Curtains were opened and closed for hours on end, I flopped and bounced around like a demented bunny, the whole thing was just too exciting! That afternoon, my brand new mattress arrived as well. I kept peering over the side going "oooohhhh" and squeeling with delight.
But wait, there was more!! Because my bed was off the ground, it meant that I had a fab little cubby house underneath. Mummy had put in some push lights, which I quickly got the hang of, and there were glow in the dark stars and everything. I had some little bean bag cushions and my favorite books and dinosaurs under there, it was all just too much fun.
The whole idea was a huge hit but Mummy and Daddy got a bit worried about me being up so high and decided that I was a bit little yet - so Mummy put my bed back the way it was and now I have a normal bed. I love it too, and when I get a bit bigger, I can have my adventure bed back again.

For those of you who know him, Dave Rennie was in town recently and he came over for a barbie with Mark. It was really nice to see him again, daddy sees him at work sometimes but mummy hadn't seen him for 4 years. We all had a fab night, and the boys were sensible (being a school night) and went home before being enticed with more wine.

We had a spur of the moment Bathurst this year, Mark came over with enough salads to last us all through the current millenium, and Daddy set up both slot car sets, joining them together to make a giant track in the loungeroom. I was very good and took big steps over it so I didn't step on the track. Daddy let me have a go at the buttons that made the cars go, I went flat out and went ballistic when the cars crashed and rolled off. (There was lots of "ooohhh deeeaaarrr" )

We have continued to do our BBQ breakkies every Saturday morning, and the group is getting bigger and bigger every week. Here I am, manning the tap, and helping Mark to wash his chopping board - I am a very good helper.
We saw 2 helicopters this time, and the kids all went mental (some of the adults too) We can see them coming from the airport so there is lots of excitement when someone spots one.
Well I hope you are all happy and well, I have started potty training so wish me luck, I am doing really well and mummy hopes to be able to leave the house sometime soon :) Love and hugs - Kylin Jett. xoxoxo
