Fletcher's big band

I've decided to start my own band with my friends B1 and the furry green monster

I'm on percussion!

... and I've developed our trademark dance move as well. B1 can do it really well but the furry green monster is having some trouble with it - you'll need a faster shutter speed to see it clearly!

... seems I have one adoring fan already.

Kendall Kids @ Kidspace

Today we went to the Australian Museum with our friends Michael and Natalie!

We saw lots of really neat things like...

... did someone say there was a dinosaur around here somewhere?

In Kidspace, we got to explore lots of different things. They have drawing, dress-ups, books, toys, puzzles, games and lots more! This is the 'baby space' for little people like Fletcher...

He had lots of fun exploring

Michael had fun being a turtle!

And I had fun hanging out with Natalie!

My birthday weekend!

It was my birthday on Friday but we seem to have spent most of the weekend celebrating!





We had a party on Friday ...



... with yummy cake ...




I got a really cool Wiggles bag with some extras attached!



... and Scott read my new Dictionary book to me ...



Then on Sunday we had another party and, of course, another cake!





... it was yummy too ...





My friends Natalie and Michael came over to celebrate with me - we had lots of fun!...



... eating lots of yummy things ...

... and opening presents (Thomas!!)

I even got a neat pair of Thomas boots!

Thank you to everyone who visited or called and wished me a happy birthday and also for all the beautiful gifts! I had lots of fun and hope to catch up with you all again soon...

lots of love

My big sister is 2!

Hi there, Fletch here. Just thought I'd put up a quick post to tell you about our morning. It's Alison's birthday today and she's 2! My, doesn't time just fly? (well, the last 7 months of it have for me!)
She had a great time opening her presents...

Hey Fletch! Check this out!!

Duplo!!!

Getting some help from Mum...

Wow! More playdough stuff!!

But the really cool present was hiding up the hallway...

My new bike!!!

It was a bit tricky to get on at first...

...ummm... some assistance with this please?

Daddy showing me how the pedals work.

Hey! Look at me go!!!

A kiss for Daddy - thank you for my nice things!

Stay tuned for more birthday fun...

Let's play!

We've been having lots of fun playing...

... with playdough! Mum made some playdough for me today and got a little disheartened when I wouldn't touch it so instead we found lots of things in the drawer we could stick into it (yes, there's even a corn cob holder in there!). But eventually we came up with a few creations...

... a teddy bear ...

... this is suppose to be Daddy (not sure about the hair, though) ...


... and, finally, an echidna! (no, we didn't create a cute little creature and then stab it to the bench.. it just looks like that...)


I also like to play in the bath... bubble hat!


... or with my latest creation: pipecleaner glasses!


... but as for me, well, I'm a man of few needs. Just give me a playmat and I'm happy!

Pasta and other fun

First it was pizza....
Now it's the pasta!


Who needs lipstick when you've got 'Dolmio'??


Great for hair styling too...


"Can you point your fingers and do the twist?" yes, I can even do it while standing in a 'Huggies' box!

Alison! Mum's got the camera out!!

Oh how embarrassing...

Just sharing the love, Fletch, just sharing the love...

Pizza! Pizza!

We made pizzas for dinner with our cousins David and Andrea


Mum doesn't have a rolling pin (perhaps she'll get one for Mother's Day?) so I'm helping to roll out the dough with a cup. It works really well! We put lots of yummy things on our pizzas... ham, cheese, chicken, pineapple...



It was lots of fun!



Fletcher was particularly excited about trying some pizza...




"but you said I had to start eating solid food! What's wrong with this?"

"Ok, I promise to share with the others..."

Kendall v. Potato Head

Potato Head: "Now listen here, Kendall. This playmat just isn't big enough for the two of us"

Kendall: "Hmmm... yummy arm..."

Potato Head: "I'm warning you, kid..."

"... don't think you can take one of my arms and get away with it"

Kendall: "tasty ear!"

Potato Head: "ahhhh!!!"

Soon after, the match referee was called in to settle the dispute (and put Mr Potato Head back together again! He lives to fight another day...)
