Jazzie stayed over and Nan and Grandad's house yesterday, so I got to have Mum and Dad all to myself. It was SO nice! Mummy and I went shopping at Camberwell Market together where I drank a whole smoothie by myself - I didn't have to share any at all. I helped Mum pick out some vegies and fruit before we headed off to Target to get me some more clothes. I searched for some 'Credibles pyjamas while Mum looked for singlets and skivvies for me. I couldn't find any pyjamas, but I did get some new jeans. It was so nice being able to walk around with Mum and to hold her hand whenever I liked.

After shopping, we went to Oliver's house to see my friends. I was a bit shy at first, but soon warmed up when I saw that they were playing my favourite game: roaring monsters! We stalked about on all-fours roaring at each other and bumping each other before the Mummies decided that they didn't want us doing that anymore. So we all played a bit of cricket, which was great fun even though I didn't hit the ball once. Some of the other boys were so good at hitting the ball. I really had a great time and was pleased to see my friends, because I haven't seen them for ages.

The next morning I still had Mum and Dad to myself - woo! We all went out for brekkie to a little place we hadn't been to before: Replete in Hawthorn. I got a bit stroppy when Daddy wouldn't get me my own plate of toast along with my smoothie; he expected me to share his pancakes! I refused to eat the pancake he offered and had about half of my smoothie before staging the rest of my protest under the table. I was dragged out of the cafe feeling just a bit empty.

But I soon forgot about that because Mum and I then went to the Zoo! We had just the best time in the world. I wanted to see my favourite animals, the seals, first, which we did. I watched as three seals glided past us while they were spinning in circles or swimming upside down. It looked like such fun. After spending a couple of minutes at the seals we set off to see as many animals as possible in as shorter space of time possible. We ran in between each exhibit, looked at the animals for a few seconds, then took off again to the next one. I was so happy that Mum was happy to run with me. We sure couldn't do that the last time we came with Jazzie. Mum tried to slow me down a bit by pointing out animals and birds that I hadn't noticed, like the owls and the rock wobbilies. I spent the longest time watching the efalents because every other time we've been the efalents have been hiding. This time there were two of them right up close to everyone and they were eating something that looked like a huge, round brick. They were picking up this thing with their trunks and throwing it on the ground to break it open, then they picked up the pieces and ate them! I must have watched them for three or four minutes, it was so interesting. The other place that I slowed down for was to look at the birds in the aviary, because Mum really likes the birds. There were some really colourful, big birds in there. After two hours I was happy to leave and had a nice little doze in the car on the way home.

I loved having Mum and Dad to myself. Today I get to have Nan and Grandad to myself, because I'm going over there without Jazzie. This is very nice for a change!
