Charlie has obviously been watching Ella mothering her dolls.  He sat on the chair this afternoon cradling the doll on his lap and even pretended to feed her milk from his bottle.

After Ella & Charlie were changed into their pyjamas last night, they wandered through and selected a book from the bookcase before settling themselves on the steps to read before bed.

We had a leisurely morning on the Monday holiday. Charlie had a longer sleep than usual, probably due to a late night last night. When he woke we all went over to MSAC for a swim and then had a late lunch at the Wine Bar.

Charlie thought it a good idea to climb into the parcel tray under the pram…..

…..then got very upset when he realised he was stuck!

Blanche’s parents invited us to their place down in Mount Eliza on Easter Sunday.  They have a beautiful home which Alan has dubbed ‘Casa Manuell’.  Ella and Charlie both had lots of fun in the pool with Lily (Blanche’s sister).   We hoped that exposure to their dog, Roxy, would  help Ella overcome her fear but to no avail.

Naturally lots of chocolate was consumed…….it was Easter after all!!

Ella all set for the car journey

And Charlie too…..

Charlie took a naked dip in the pool

Then wrapped up warm with mummy

Ella’s friends Hugh and Maddie came over on Friday - they spent time painting eggs, drawing and having fun together.  Lots of mess and lots of fun!  Maddie stayed for a sleepover much to Ella’s delight and they had fun in the bath together.
