Well it is finals week in Masterchef and Ollie has really taken this on board. He is loving kitchen toys and recently I bought him a little toy kitchen which has been using to make me cups of tea and treats to feed his toy animals. We had Nanna Freddy come to stay this week and she was so impressed by Ollie’s cooking skills that she bought him even more kitchen goods to add to his collection. Stay tuned, we were talking about him getting a bigger and better play kitchen for Christmas.
To further inspire Ollie to become a domestic Goddess, Nanna Freddy also got Ollie his very own little broom. This was an absolute necessity as Obear has been quite insistent lately about using our broom to sweep the thousands of leaves that drop out on the deck. Thankfully this little broom is less likely to smash windows, or inflict damage to Gus. We hope.
Saturday morning saw Obear and Nanna Freddy and I take a walk down to the patisserie we lurve around the corner. Ollie and I have consumed many thousands of calories of there over the past 18 months. Funnily enough it is just near my gym and I used to meet fellow gymmers there after sweating it out only to load back up on delicious goods (while Ollie impressed them with his gorgeous smiles). Lately Ollie has been loving the (free) babycinos as well as the beautifully baked croissants they have on offer. It has occurred to me that with the big house move happening in just over a month, we will have to find a whole new place with delicious sweet treats for sale. It might be a real challenge to test them all out but I think we might be up for it!
While Nanna Freddy was here we also took the chance to go to Superbowl for lunch. It remains our firm favourite for cheap Chinese served amongst dodgy decor, although the decor has gone up a notch lately with new carpet and paint!! We all ate too much as per usual, including Ollie who devoured a bunch of salt and pepper squid, shredded beef Peking style and of course, prawn crackers.
While there Jimmy (the proprietor) came in and was commenting on how big Ollie was getting. He and his offsider thought it would be nice to give Obear a lollipop. Naturally guzzle guts was more than impressed with this.
And here is Obear with his prize downtown, Chinatown downtown that is.
And getting back to the title of this blog, Ollie has come up with some great new words and sayings this week. The best has to be “go Daddy” when we are driving in the car and generally stuck at the lights. This might be because Ollie is a total Daddy’s boy this week. Every second word is Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! When Nick goes out of his sight he cries out for him and chucks a wobbly each day when Nick goes to work. Thankfully he still thinks I’m pretty special too, especially around 5am every morning when he starts calling out to me…
