A Break Through!!
So I have been kind of worrying about R lately. She is a very social person when she knows the kid/kids. When she is in nursery she does GREAT! But I we have been living down the street from this park for 3 months now, and have been going at least 2 times a week. Its a big park, so there are usually a lot of kids!
While we are there, I have tried to meet other mom and kids so that R would play with them. She wants NOTHING to do with them. She would rather me chase her around and play with her. We go to this kids thing at the library and she just sits with me the whole time.
Today we had a break through. The secret-take a toy car with you. There was the cutest little boy, Jason who is not very shy. He rode by on his bike and started talking to us. Next thing we know he drops his bike off with his mom, and came over and the 2 of them started playing together with the car. They played together for almost an hour. She never once came over and wanted me!!!! It was AMAZING!!! I watched and they even got an older boy playing with them too. I walked over and the toy car was the winning ticket. They loved sending it down the many slides, and down the ramps. It was SOOOO cute. A lot of kids get annoyed with R because her language skills aren't the best, but it didn't seem to bother them.
At one point they would grab each other's hand to lead the other to where they wanted to go. SO CUTE!!! Today was a VERY proud moment for me as a mom, and for R and her comfort zone! I hope that it shows things to come!

Walkabout in Sydney
As most people know the World Cup has just got started. FIFA has allowed a few international sites be set up. Sydney is one of them, so we decided to check it out! Not much was going on, because it was still early morning in South Africa!
I thought this was pretty cute. They added these covers to the light posts!
There were booths with food, souvenirs, ect. The coolest thing is one of the viewing areas is actually floating on the harbour (in Darling Harbour for those who know Sydney). The main screen is the one on the right with a red boarder, then 2 smaller screens on either sides. We plan on going down again once the games start happening more often!
Then we walked over to Circular Quay. R thinks she is so tricky doing yoga "tree pose"!
R wanted to take a picture of the 3 of us. Her arms are REALLY short, so I am VERY impressed that we all made it in on the first take!
Even her baby had to make it in a picture!
Jared taking his fatherly rights a little too far!!! :)
Love this view. I was telling Jared that its like Red Squre in Moscow. It doesn't matter how many times you see it, it is still breath taking. I could sit and enjoy this view for hours!
We walked a TON, but it was nice to enjoy the sunny WINTER weather! We had to wear jackets around, but can't complain too much about 60 degree WINTER weather!
