Well today Rieley and I headed this children's fun place with Karen, Dec & Jack. The boys had a ball, Karen & I enjoyed ourselves also. Rieley was just so excited from the moment he laid eyes on the huge slide. The excitement in him was just like a life of it's own - bursting out. He'd found his way up the slide before I'd had a chance to take his shoes off and put socks on him. Well his first go was pretty darn funny, after the initial worry. He came down the first section ok, but then he started to get tossed around until he was head first. To say my heart filled with panic is an understatement as I raced to see if he was ok. Of course, my hard-headed little man got up laughing and ready for more. He'd pretty well perfected it by the end of the day, even coming down head first.
We couldn't talk Rieley into the Tea Cup Ride, he'd found slides and that was it. Finally later in the day we attracted his attention to it. Too funny. He went on with Jack & Dec. The ride started and the platform is spinning, the girl gives their tea cup a spin in the opposite direction, but all the while Rieley is doing circles with his head looking up at the ceiling. Fortunately Dec grabbed him before he got too dizzy and started to spin out. He absolutely loved it. Next time, I had a go with him - it's a great ride even if it is just meant for kids. :)
Karen bought us all an icecream, so we all sat at the table and sucked them down. Dec & Jack finished quicker than Rieley and ran off to play. So, of course Rieley was now finished his icecream. He handed it to me - the sacrifice us Mum's have to make finishing our kid's icecreams is a burden I tell you. He didn't leave much but there was a bit of icecream there, so what else could I do but eat it - other option was to watch it melt and we can't have that. Poor Rieley doesn't probably understand that we can't hold an icecream for long. Well he came back and there was only a little bit of icecream left but I dutifully handed it back - the look of utter desolation was priceless. He had a bit of a bite and then handed it back to me - silly boy. So thinking it was really safe to finish as he really didn't want it - I had another bite which left only a sliver of icecream on the cone. Well, he wanted it back didn't he. LOL - his face showed that the world was indeed coming to an end very soon. As Karen said, Rieley has a face that shows so much expression and today's was just priceless.
Unfortunately few of the pics I took today worked out. Me and the camera did not co-ordinate very well.
