Mum and I went to Gymbaroo this morning and thankfully Oskar didn't come this time - phew! I had a lovely time climbing up the slide and the ladder, and bouncing on the minitramp. I was watching when Sharon hung up the swing and started walking over to it straight away, but some other little pushy kid got there first. But he made a mistake when he paused in front of the swing and stood there looking at it. I brushed past him and grabbed hold of it, claiming my right to get on first. On I climbed with a bit of help and happily smiled away as I swung and spun. But I couldn't believe it when Mum went to get me out after only 3 or 4 minutes! I was furious; I arched my back, kicked my legs, waggled my arms and screamed. Mum held me in some sort of wrestling hold while I watched the other kid get in the swing. I was not happy and grumbled until I got distracted at the trampoline.

The Treasure bag theme was birds; we all brought birds from home and walked up to Alma to collect them when she pulled them out of the basket. I'd watched lots of ducks, Tweetie Birds and Big Birds being pulled out of the basket before I saw our pinkanpurple parrot finally emerge. I walked up with my arms outstretched and grabbed the bird with glee, then turned around, grinning from ear to ear, and walked back to Mum. I was so happy to see my knitted bird. We then had more play time and pinkanpurple parrot came too.

I'm pretty proud of something I've learnt recently: When Mum and I do 'Row your boat', we hold hands and rock back and forth, then when the words go, 'If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream...EEEEE!' we lift our arms in the air together. This morning I did it with Mum, then when I heard the crocodile line, I dropped Mum's hands, held mine up in the air and went, 'EEEEEE!' Mum was mighty impressed, and I was a very happy girl!
