Ok, I know, it's 2-July and I am doing my June posting. Such is life these days - late late late for everything. Anyway, it's been a very productive 32nd month in the life and times of Zoë...We stuck a bit closer to home in June - no international travel. The weekend of the 11-June, we headed (Kirsten dragged JJ and Zoë) to Windsor for Kirsten's first triathlon in, er, 4 years, the last one being with Gevry in 2007 in London. Kirsten's triathlon kicked off at 6:15 am (JJ and Zoë were still in bed) just down the road from Queen Liz's house (aka Windsor Castle) and K finished in 2h 03mins. JJ and Zoë were waiting at the finish line with big smiles and cheers (actually, JJ was cheering and smiling, Zoë was just looking very puzzled as to why her mother was sweatily running past her).
We made the most of being southwest of London and headed for the 2nd most famous landmark in Windsor, Legoland where we met Zoë's best friend Marin and his mom Claire. The kids had a great time going from ride to ride - the 3 parents present had a little less fun as it was pouring down rain the whole time. The only upside was that there were no queues (aka lines). Monday, 13-June marked the start of Project Potty - when Zoë and Marin (not of their own volition) started potty training. There were a few accidents here and there but we are proud to report that we are 100% nappy (diaper) free during the day and are working towards the nighttime too. Zoë took to the whole program very well (I'm sure it had nothing to do with the reward stickers that were doled out after every #1 and #2).
Zoë has been working on her cooking skills and cooked up some mean scrambled eggs for father's day breakfast. Circus school is going well too - she loves the trampoline, chasing games, rope swing and tight wire. Last week she learned how to stand on my shoulders. This week was "the Big Toddle" - a walk around a park for charity with Zoë's nursery. JJ accompanied her and she got her face painted for the first time, and loved it.
That's all for June (that I can remember) for now.
