Yesterday we were walking in the park, her in the pram. I had it down so she could lie back-- i dropped the hat down for her to play with-- she put it above her head, where it stayed, because the pram was flat. She smiled up at me-- I'm sure she was happy cause she'd "put her hat on".

She was delightful yesterday. We had a nice two hour walk in the park-- glorious day. We were looking for ducks. Round each bend of the river we looked, but still no ducks. We eventually found them on the grass just near the exit. But I thought of a children's book. I'll take nice pictures of the river, and each one will have something different in it:
  • people riding bicycles
  • children
  • playing ball
  • dogs
  • galahs/birds
  • trees
  • wattle
  • rocks
and will say what's there, then the facing page will say "and still no ducks!"

The ducks will appear on the last page. Course it could be a series, and you might have to wait for the ducks. I also thought it would be fun to insert some odd things
  • Alien spaceship -- and still no ducks
  • bull
  • eiffel tower
  • reindeer
as well as more regular things
  • kangaroo
  • emu
  • snake
They could be either photo-realistic or cartoony.

Today -- by holding the spoon just out of her reach, she was forced to grab it with her hands, rather than try and eat it by leaning forward with her mouth. She grabbed it and put the end into her mouth. So that's good. We did it a couple more times. But it's not spontaneous.
