Auckland so far

I arrived on 8th May and so far have visited Parnell, Ponsonby, Birkenhead, Greenhithe, Sommerville (twice), River Valley, Don Buck, Chelsea, Takapuna, Kingsdene and One Tree Hill Kindergartens, Tiny Tots Northcote (twice), Blue Frog, Lancaster Learning, 8's Enuff, Little People (twice), Dynamic Kids, Allsaints Creche, Sunny Days and Kids At Play.  It's been fun going to all sorts of different places around Auckland and getting to know my way around a bit better.  Everyone has been so friendly and all the kids were fanTAStic!
I've busked at Coatsville Market, been on The Great Big Kids Show and Bfm's Sunday kids show with Finn.
Today I went to the Avondale Market and bought my fruit and veges and made a yummy vege soup for tea!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I wrote a song especially for Grandparents recently too - it has a lot of names that different people call their grandparents - it's the Bridge in my song - here it is - see if your grandparents names are in it:


Koro, Kuia, Noni and Pop
Nandi and Grandi, the names don’t stop
Gaga, Wee Nana, Wrinkley too
Meme (maymay), Gangan and Nanni Blue
Chief, Bob-Bob and Nana Breadtag
Nanna Spanna’s a bit of a dag

Ruffles and Peaky, The Great Ging-Ging
Yogi and GranJan sure can sing
Oma, Opa, Grammy and Buppa
Gammer and Gaffa love having a cuppa
Roy Nana takes her dog for a walk
Miggy and Grandude love to talk!

White Grandma and Caravan Grandad
GG and 3G sound kinda rad
Noonie, Gamgam and Grandad Japan
Nagymana (nudge mumma) and Nagypapa (nudge papa), Hungarian
Glamour Granna and Mimi WOW!
Call out the names of your grandparents NOW!

Well!  Go on, call them out!  You might have 4 - you might have more!  You might have less too and that's cool.  I haven't got any grandparents now - but I still have a Mum and she's a Nana to my daughter and her other grandkids.
