It has taken me a little while to figure out what to do with Ellie on Wednesday mornings at our new house. Before, I would take her for a walk to the beach or the playground in her pram. Out here I don’t have that choice and Ellie would rather be in control and walk. Our Wednesday morning start with an egg breakfast with some sort of toast. (Ellie always wants and says Toast) Then picking out an outfit that will work with the waterproof overalls (Victoria makes this much easier as the outfits are put together and I just have to pick one). I chase her around the house and give her piggy back rides that always start and end with “more”. Then outside we go, rain or shine. We usually go and see the horse and then walk to the top of the driveway to get the mail. Back down the drive we go, with a little help from me as she hasn’t quite grasped walking down hill yet. Playing with the gate, running away from me in the backyard, exploring the shed and other gates and finding the ball are all possible options next. Finally she will find mud or water and stop to have a play. I hope she enjoys Wednesdays as much as I do.

I bet she does love her daddy time. Soon she'll be into helping with the gardening, pulling out weeds (and plants) and digging up worms. Lovely photo Paul, one of my favourites.
Mommy appreciates Wednesday mornings as much as Ellie does!
