Last Day of Kindy

Well the day finally had to come... Freya's last day at kindy and in many ways Eli's too as he has loved the time he has spent there at drop off and pick up times too.  When they arrived each of the children decorated a 'placemat' for their special lunch.  Freya has been so excited about having a treat lunch at kindy.    It is such a sad day but I am so exceptionally happy that Freya got to spend a year here at this magical kindy with such beautiful teachers.

City

 

 

 

Ever since we last went into the city Eli has been desperate to go back with Daddy to see the big clock!  So today we took him back in and looked at all of the clocks we could find.  A train ride, the city, clocks and Hungry Jacks and Eli is in his element. 

As we were heading back to catch the train home we came across a couple with a dog who indicated that the children could come and pat it if they liked.  Eli was straight over but Freya who has been desperate to convince me that she should have a dog won't go anywhere near it! 

I love that Freya and Eli will often hold hands now! 

Red Water

Who doesn't love a play trough full of coloured red water?   

Always wanting to colour the water red is a really vivid memory of my own time at kindy so today was a little bit of an opportunity to relive my own childhood through my own children. 

Lazy Bones

Little Miss Freya had a big sleep in this morning.  Occasionally it all catches up with her!

Oc Oc's

Today we stopped off at The Shingle Inn and Eli was quick to initiate a game of 'Oc Oc's' while we waited. 

Little Poser

Freya asked me to take her photo and then struck a pose! 

Christmas begins...

 Today we did the usual business of dragging out the advent calendar and Christmas tree.   It is the first year that Eli will have an advent calander.  We thought he would be so excited but he had just woken up from a nap when we showed it to him and for some reason it became the prompt for a big cry... he didn't want it!  He was a little more interested in helping to decorate the tree but quickly lost interest so the decorating was largely left to Freya.  She was more than happy to oblige!
