Amber Bassonitjie!!!

Amber is very very camera shy so this must be the longest recording I have of her! When she watched it and heard the question how old are you she immediately said 2 but for some or other reason said 3 in the video.
Lately her favourite song is 'I'm gonna be a mighty king' from the lion king so I am working on getting her to sing that for the camera- no luck yet!!!
Also, our surname is Basson and Amber thinks hers is Basson'itjie....

SoccerStarz

Amber had her prizegiving for soccerstarz on Friday! Shame, only then did I realize that she was the youngest and also the only girl :-)
She kicks a ball so well after doing these lessons so I guess the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup also helped my Pixie become better!!!!

Most of the boys were over 4 and Amber is under 3 and the only girl. ALso very much on her own mission...

Getting ready to kick to coach!

This is called the stop street or something like that! Too cute!

Recieving her medal and certificate!

Eastgate Fun

Round about with Amber :-)



Amber loves splashing in the muddy puddles with her wellingtons, so here I found her butt naked splashing away.



Say cheese!!!

It's Clamber Club time. Still so much fun after all these years!

Painting with custard during messy play!!

Slippy Slide!!!

Hey- where'd she go???

Luckily I wasnt the only mommy to forget a costume :-)


So, just a quick peek into some of the fun things my Pixie gets up to! Lately, to my dismay- she only wants to wear dresses to school every single day!!! The other day she had soccer starz and she was doing it in an ankle length dress!!! So cute :-)

Walking the Dog

I decided (to the dismay of my husband) that the dogs need to go for walks more often. Three dogs = three willing walkers so we got everyone leashed up and ready to go!
Amber did so well walking Li'l Einstein. It was the cutest thing. They did the whole block on their own with Einstein only escaping twice :-)
She was so funny. At one stage she tripped over her own feet and poor Einie had to take the blame. Should hear her telling him how naughty he was!!

Only grabbed my camera at the end of the walk but had to share some...

Halloween

So I know that South Africans arent really big on Halloween but Dowerglen Ext 3 residents decided to have a group initiative this year and all the kids went trick or treating together. Residents that participated had to put ribbons on their door to show the kids they could knock.....

All the sweeties

Amber was lucky enough to have her beloved grandparents there as well as her favourite Aunt- Jess to accompany her! She was very hesitant due to all the 'monsters' lurking around and also to knock on doors that is until she saw that the reward for that was sweets....
It was such a lovely evening and the walk did us all good.
While the woman were out we left it to Oupie and Sias to hand out sweeties to the kids. When we eventually arrived the sweets were nearly all finished because Sias was giving each child about two handfulls each- LOL!! Next year he will be better trained.....
