We all went for a swim at Parnell Baths on Friday. It’s a busy public pool by the waterfront in Parnell. The kids really loved it but I was not so impressed simply because I know that in Brisbane, Southbank parklands have numerous pools and water play areas – I’m thinking of the aquativity play park – that not only surpass the Parnell Baths aesthetically and in terms of activities for kids, but are also free. The Parnell Baths were not free ($6.50 per adult) and the facilities were a little dated. Even Christchurch has a free outdoor pool for children in the Botanic Gardens. I wonder whether it’s open this year?

Elizabeth did wees on the potty this morning! We have been trying to encourage her to use either the potty or the toilet for many months now but she has been resistant to the idea. This morning she decided to try it out and while we weren’t looking filled up the potty then came and announced “monster wee”.
