Dude, Where's my Sunscreen?

What else to do on a 37 degree day but take in the waves at the Fitzroy Baby Pool? It was Scout’s first dip in the water (didn’t let her face or ears go in, so paranoid am I about lurgies weaselling their way into her precious system, particularly with this hideous gastro going around) and she was mad for it!

It’s hard work looking this cool all day. Click to enlarge

It has been a week of Firsts – First tooth, First pool dip, First trip to the Playground, First “mammamammamamm” (v. proud, me), First Weetbix and First Toast and Vegemite. Hideously, she really liked the Vegemite, shudder. I’ve never been a fan myself, although not as adverse to it as my vegemitaphobe friend, “J” who refuses to feed her son vegemite in case he comes charging at her with face and hands riddled with the brown goo. “It looks like poo and smells like shit” says she. Fair enough. Who am I to argue?

1. the brit equivalent of vegemite is marmite and our little ‘un loves it – it’s expensive in Japanand the little mite eats mine! still, running around with brown goo all over your face is part of growing up :D

6. Move the kids bayside! Clean air no smog, no thru traffic, and able to swim in beaches. Make a sea change away from the grit & grime of the inner-city high density urban ugliness
