"A portrait of Audrey, once a week, every week, in 2013"

This week you learnt about disappointment... We had spoken all day (with great excitement) of our trip to the beach that afternoon to have a treat with friends. Just before we were set to leave a severe storm rolled overhead and with miserable weather came news we could no longer go on our play date. As tears rolled down your cheeks and you asked "why" I couldn't help but think this was just the first of many disappointments life may bring you. You stood in the doorway and watched the hail fall from the sky, your eyes fascinated by the way it bounced off the wet grass. I noticed a smile appear on your face, you turned to me and whispered "wow!" and just like that the disappointment you had suffered moments earlier was replaced with wonder and amazement.

You get some of the craziest cases of bed head I have ever seen. It sticks up and out, it is fuzzy on the top and curly on the ends, it is constantly in your eyes and it is all our fault! You got my thin curly hair and your fathers abundance of hair, we both have double crowns and so do you. It may be difficult to manage in the mornings but we wouldn't have it any other way because your hair is just like you... Wild and carefree.

And just like that you are two! We returned home from our Queensland adventure this week and back to our little life with our chooks. On Tuesday we celebrated your birthday at home with Nanny K and Da and a delicious pear and ricotta cake.

At two you love:
// the colour yellow
// the number four
// cows and chickens
// actually make that all animals
// your family
// being outside
// bath time
// reading books
// helping in the kitchen

At two you have decided you could live without:
// getting dressed
// having your nappy changed (hence our progression to toilet learning)
// staying still for longer then 30 seconds
// being in the car for longer then 30 minutes
// leaving the park or the beach

We are still on our Queensland adventure and you are loving every minute. For a very special treat Poppa and Ninnie took us all to Seaworld. We watched dolphins glide through the water, we listened to talks about the environment, we indulged in a few too many treats and you swam and splashed the afternoon away.

I first met Belinda when we attended The Creatives and I have loved following her family on her beautiful blog. PS :: I am voting keep the 50's hairstyle too Richard!
