My holiday so far ...

Mom and I were really upset that Dad could not fly down on Saturday morning, as planned, to start our family holiday and celebrate my birthday with me. Dad had a nasty gastro ... The next flight he could get on was on Tuesday morning. So Mom had me by herself for Yom Kippur (and mom is not a good faster). Sunday night, I feel asleep in shul and slept on Moms lap while she prayed. Monday, Ciski came to babysit me ... And we had lots of fun, painting and me giving Cisk a mani and pedi with kitchen tongs. Monday afternoon – dropped off at Max and Ben;s house and hang out with them. Then fetched to go for breaking of the fast at Auntie Esthers house – YUM, YUM.
Tuesday morning, wake-up, quickly pack-up (well, Mom packed-up, while I wanted to play) ... Womi fetched us, and I got to play with the ‘teletubbies’ (Mom couldn’t believe that when she said Wom was fetching us ... I said ‘teletubbies’ remembering that I played with these a few days before in Wom’s car)
After a stop at the shops, I went and played with ‘Ari’ and ‘Tal’ ... They have the coolest toys, especially the singing frog.
Then I had a sleep there and when I woke up ‘MY Daddy’ was there!!! After getting coffee, forgetting the computer at Womi’s house, the blackberry GPS not working, getting Ron;s Garmin, getting lost in Sandton, getting lost in Alberton ... We finally arrived in mist, rain, mist and not being able to see infront of us ... At 7:30pm at Champagne Castle in the Drakensburg. At this stage, after entertaining myself in the car for 4 hours, I feel asleep.
I was then schlepped in the rain to our new bedrooom and lay on the bed, then into the pram so Mom and dad could go for dinner (All I ate from 2pm was snacks and a chocolate and strawberry drinking youghurt –oh vey!) then back to the room and into my new bed.
I COMPLETE darkness and quiet this place, I woke up at 4am to ask for ‘milkie and watch TV’ ... Mom said, ‘go back to sleep’ ... We ALL woke up at 8:30 ...
Fresh mountain air ... ROCKS!

A super fun morning ...

... At the Jo’burg Zoo with my cuzzies, Auntie Shell and the boys ... Super fun, super hot ... I now say, ‘Zoo’ everytime Mom says we are going to ‘Max’ and ‘Ben’ ... I also tell everyone we saw, ‘baby tortoise’ send ‘pretty bird’ ...

Super great birthday party ...

BJ threw me a super great party ... It started at 3 o’clock and ended at 9:30pm ... (I had to go to bed at 8pm) ... I blew out the candles TWICE ... Ate birthday ice-cream cake twice ... (the last time about 10 minutes before bedtime) ... Most importantly I was surrounded by people who were there to wish me Happy Birthday and shower me with LOVE ... Thanks to Everybody to making my day so special!!! (I had extra special fun playing with Tiia and then later in the day with Ben) ... Thank you to everyone!

My birthday party ....

‘Beej’ organised and threw me a SUPER cool 2nd birthday party for the Joburg crew ... (don’t worry Capetonians ... My birthday party in CT is on its way soonish) ... BJ transformed his house into a party, eating paradise ... Sweets lined the entrance hall, an awesome tea table at the dining room, kiddies table – complete with fruit and barney juice only at the low kiddies table ... And then an awesome savoury table outside – bagels, different spreads, pasta salad ... And drinks ... YOU ROCK BJ!!! Thank you! (Ps: check out the pics of the surprise birthday cake!)
