Isabel is 3.  Yay!  We had a great party at the Bubble It Up play center with lots of fun and games and friends.  Lots of the parents had fun on the big slide too.  Isabel sends a big thankyou for all her presents.  If anyone has any good photos of the day, please send them our way.

Daddy

DaddySome more artwork by Isabel.  This one is of me, apparently.  Not a bad likeness, I reckon.  We had quite a bit of work convincing her to let me scan it but we got there in the end.

Isabel, Cookie and I went down to the Gold Coast Pet and Animal Expo on Saturday.  It was lots of fun although it is a bit of a challenge trying to wrangle a toddler and a dog at the same time when Cookie isn’t allowed into the things that Isabel wanted to do.  It was quite interesting looking up after Cookie had a wash to see Isabel playing with a crocodile and then finding Cookie and the crocodile didn’t like each other much (as you can see in the photo) so I couldn’t just pick her up.

Isabel also had a great time in the petting zoo and harassed the baby animals for much too long.  I don’t know how they put up with it.

Penguin

Isabel drew her first picture today that I could recognise.  I found it pretty exciting.  She entitled it “Penguin”.

Isabel’s Plane

Isabel wanted to fly in a plane today so we made one out of an old cardboard box.  Turned out pretty well too and it’s still in one piece!  Up, up, and away!
