Filling in some winter days with a toddler is a challenge for one's imagination. After drawing, playing with dinosaurs, building yet another variation of the train track, watching 3 times the recommended daily allowance of television and flying the aeroplane up and down mummy's legs and arms whilst she's breastfeeding, what next can a little boy do. Thank god for some sunshine (despite it barely making it to 10 degrees), so we can rug up and go for a run and burn up some toddler energy. Feeding a pelican, ducks and running over a bridge or two just adds to the whole adventure. 
Thank god also for Grandma and Pa, they have a fresh reserve of attention to lavish on little boys and a whole well of enthusiasm for interesting things like, "Look gwan-ma, Thomas got red shoes!" and "Pa, GREEEN DINOSAAUUUUUURRRRR, ROOOAAARRRR". Life's good.
Oh, and rocking out on the guitar with Dad, that's also another fantastic way to kill 15 mins. Alright!!!!
On the agenda for tomorrow - playground (swings are a real favourite at the moment!), the bakery, more train adventures and maybe some block building. The Tallest Tower Challenge may have to be held in the lounge room, with the winner fighting it out for a bag of Tiny Teddies. Who needs the Tour de France?? Although Cadel's home town isn't far from here, so we all love Cadel.
