It's 9.10pm and I'm sitting here watching Aussie Jelena Dokic playing in the Australian Open (tennis). Rod has been working in Northam this week and will hopefully be back Thursday night. Not that I can complain...he came home last night seeing as it's only a 1.5hour drive. It's just that he has to get up at 3 the next morning so he can leave by 4 to be back at the job on time. They're busy pouring a 4000 sqm slab for a huge workshop, for which they'll also be doing the panels. So they'll finish the slab this week and will be going back in a few weeks time to start on the panels. So I may as well get used to the idea of him being gone :-(
On a :-) side, Olivia is now in nickers during the day!! Yay! It really didn't take her long to click on to when she had to go to the toilet, I think I was just too slack to get started with this sooner. And of course she's quite proud of the fact that she can go to the loo all by herself. She just won't do poos on there yet...she knows when she has to do one, but she'll just hold it in till she has a nappy on at night. I'm sure she's not the only kid who does this but it is a little frustrating!
Well, I wish one of these women would hurry up and win so I can watch the men play; they're much more exciting and plus a 16year old Aussie is playing so I want to see how he does... then again, maybe I should just go to bed and get some much needed sleep.

At the Park...
Here's some photos I took of Olivia playing at the park down the road the other day.
It's Monday
It's raining - YAY!!!
Olivia is sleeping - YAY to that too
I chopped all my hair off on Saturday...eeek!
Daylight saving is finished! It was dark at 7pm last night; weird!
It's wintry...I love it, I might head for my bed too. Olivia was awake at 5 this morning, snoozed for a bit till 6, didn't take her Dad's advice on going back to sleep, so got to go in bed with Mum till it was a sane time to get up (only b/c her Mum was sick of listening to her whinge and whine). So I'm feeling a bit sleepy...
Anyway, here's some pics from Saturday night. The van der Veen tribe had a BBQ at Paul and Heidi's place for Renee's b'day. (They might be put on one per day b/c the connection is soooo slow.)

All right! I just talked you to recently and Olivia wasn't trained yet, so it must have happened fast!
By the way, with the whole pooping thing.... I usually have to wave a huge boxful of candy in Levi's face if I know he has to go, and then he usually does one. But they always feel safer to do it with a diaper on!
or nappy.
whatever you's call it out there:-)
haha I was hoping for some advice from you, just not sure if I wanted to hear that though ;-)
