Up, Up And Awwwaaaaayyyyy.

It's a bird, a plane, no its....

PEANUT!!!!

Yes, that's right.

I'm flying.  We'll we're actually jetting off.  I can't fly though I do a mean backstroke.

The jetsetter that I am is going to Melbourne to say "G'day to the relos" (that last bit is Aussie language).

Mum's got a doctors certificate to say we can go.

I think mum is a little nervous.  Not about flying but about how I'm going to behave.  It is a long flight (approx 25 hours) in uncomfortable seating with all those people.

I, on the other hand, am extremely excited.  All those new sounds and introductions to my family. 

OHHHHH.

I guess for mum's sake I'll behave.  Mmmmm, maybe I wont. 

Oh, I love being unpredictable.  ;-)

It's a ... Peanut.

That's right.  I've been asked to do a naked photo session. 

I know, I know.  So young and asked for such a revealing expose of me is well, shocking. 

It's not for art.  Thank goodness.

Apparently, the reason is to see if I'm a boy or a girl. 

Yep, that's right.  At such a young stage they are going to label me.

Yet my fans are asking and unlike lady Ga Ga ambiguity isn't making me more alluring.

Though I have to admit it, it was fun trying to allude the camera to persevere my modesty.

Finally they did succeed.

The result is that according to the stenographer I am a...

BOY!

It's not that my parents don't believe the professionals but they like to keep an open mind.  To this end they've told people but have put a caveate on this knowledge i.e. stenographers have been mistaken before.  They really don't mind either way but don't want others to get their hopes up.

The reaction to this news by our friends and family has been one of excitment.  Though one set of friends informed us that they were going to 'buy pink clothes no matter what as they didn't want to stereo type the kid'.

Mum's reaction to this was to encourage them to as she will dress me up in it anyway.

I personally think this might be her revenge on me because I wouldn't let her eat any chocolate. 

Well, they say you can choose your friends but not your family.  :)

So Simple A Child Could Do It!

Mum and dad decided to get some of the major pieces - Cot and Pram. 

Both were billed as the most 'user friendly', 'lightest' and 'compact', etc. in all the reviews.

This sounds super except both items came unassembled.  

Oh yeah!  Let the fun begin!

Now it would've helped if the travel cot had instructions because despite their DIY ability their nous was obviously lacking in this area. 

For instance, they put the base down but couldn't get the sides to lock.  After several different attempts they finally went online to locate a set of instructions.

Apparently, they needed to lock the sides first then the base. 

Oh.  So obvious!

Then there was the pram.

Yes, things continued along the same vein.  Especially since they discovered that there were two bits which didn't seem to fit anywhere.

It was only later that they discovered that this were additions for the removable seat. 


The seat had not been sent so dad had to call the firm and ask for it.
