CRAZY

and not just from the ice cream Grandma Dianne has been giving her.

Ruby seems to turn into a Gremlin around dinner time every night. Running around the house, gibbering, making weird noises and just generally being uncontrollable.

She will not sit still long enough to eat anything decent going up, down around and around the kitchen bench, running from one room to the next.

We are hoping this crazy faze will pass as for most of the time Ruby is wonderful (and sometimes bossy).

She is very tough on her Dad, "Dadda stop talking to Mumma", "no Dadda don't hug Ruby", "Dadda sing to mumma"....

Ruby has finally started jumping properly and doesn't she love it. Unlike her cousin who runs and jumps like a 5 year old and has done since she was 1, Ruby has seemed quite awkward tripping over her feet and not quite mastering the jump rebound action required for the tramp. Now she's got it there's no stopping her. She loves being active and loves her weekly visits to playgym where she gets to play on all the gymnastic equipment.

Swimming wise Ruby is still doing really well and she is now being taught how to swim with proper arm actions and not just being told to paddle and kick. She is jumping in from the edge and will swim at least 5 - 10 metres to Dad under the water by herself.
