One of the lovely things about parenting is the liberty it allows you to do all manner of childish things.
Over the last fee weekends I have ice skated, crawled through tunnels at lollipops playland, laughed and cried at Disney movies, riden in a real olden day steam train, rushed around with a towel over my shoulders pretending to be a friendly dragon, played numerous games of chasey, hooned around the verandah on Scooter designed for a two year and blown bubbles into the wind.
There are so many amazing things to do with kids in and around Brisbane.
The steam train ride is part of qld rails steam train Sundays. http://www.theworkshops.qm.qld.gov.au/Events+and+exhibitions/Events+and+Activities/Steam+trains/Steam+train+Sunday
The ice skating was done at the winter festival currenlty in king George square - http://www.winterfestival.com.au/brisbane. I never thought I would be pushing my son around the ice on an outdoor rink in the middle of Brisbane city. But I did and we loved it.
Each library offers it's own versions of rhyme time and the museum, state library, GOMAand art gallery never fail to have the most amazing kids activities free of charge.
Some of the things Isaac loves to do I think are ordinary but through his eyes become extraordinary - a ride on a train or ferry is an adventure within itself. Watching diggers and trucks at building sites is a wonderful way to spend an hour or two. Spotting buses and motor bikes on a car ride leads to squeals of excitement.
This absolute enthusiasm for life is so joyous and contagious. I look forward to each weekend and the new adventures we will embark on together.
