Favourites from this week… A viking wearing a sun hat Keeper Kids at the Melbourne Zoo, so awesome.

Two is
The words tumble out of his mouth in a jumble of mixed up sounds and syllables. And yet he seems to assume that I understand every word. When I ask him to repeat himself he gives me an exasperated look and repeats the same gobbledegook first a little slower, and then faster when I still […]
