Eish! It's Because I'm South African

Are you kidding me? Speak to any parent who had kids before the internet age and they will tell you the same thing I am sure. I don’t remember ever having to be threatened to go to bed at night, I was always too knackered. That is because when I was not at school running around, I was either on the tennis court, soccer field, rugby field or cricket pitch, that’s right, running around. I posted a related story last week http://desktopfactory.co.za/?p=580 that also talks about this and its relevance to bullying in schools today which sadly has become so prevalent.

Last night I had the pleasure or misfortune of having to wash the kids hair at bath time. The washing is the easy part and I do it quite often as part of my parental sharing responsibilty. However, last night my wife was at work and I had to blow dry my daughters hair. Who [...]

I was helping Dad out again today in the garden and I got a little dirty. I didn’t really mind the dirt too much but I was so tired.
I hope we don’t have to put too much more top soil on the grass for a while. As much as I really enjoy playing in [...]

Last year my sister and I found so many easter eggs in our garden we thought the bunny must have dropped his bag. Mommy made us some ears to look like the bunny too.

I remember we had to wake up early, so dad woke us up and said he had seen the bunny in the [...]

Dad thought it might be a good idea for me to learn to use the lawn mower before the grass started growing in the rainy season. So one day when Hughes came to work I decided to help out again in the garden.
Dad and Hughes make using this machine look so easy when they do [...]

I just love been outside in the garden and a little while ago Dad bought allot of Top Soil to put on the grass to prepare it for summer. Dad said that since this was the first summer season in our new house the new grass needed some help to grow when the rain started.

So [...]

I tried Dads shirt a few days ago, and as much as Mom and Dad keep telling me I am growing so quickly, there is no way in my mind that I am going to be fitting into Dads clothes anytime soon. I think for the next 15 years or so I will be better [...]

Just a short time after my first birthday, Mom and Dad decided it was time for my first haircut. Dad said that I was starting to look like Goldie Locks, and Mom said my hair was just curly and out of control.
Luckily for me my birthday is in summer, because when they haircut, I had [...]

Mom and Dad tell me that sooner or later every child needs to learn to wee in the Big Toilet. I guess my sooner or later has come.

They have swapped my cosy nappies for pull-ups that I wear when I go to school, and now they also send me to school with underpants. I don’t [...]

Hello Again, I had another busy day school again today and the morning was not nice. When daddy dropped me off it was raining so I could not ride my bike. But it cleared up a little later and before Nap time I went for a ride.
Today we learnt about animals at school, so dad [...]
