New cow hopper

Well Julz bought Angel this ridiculous cow hopper a while back off the Internet and for Chrissy, Annette's daughter got given the same one from VLC, only hers is green! Yesterday Angel (2.5yrs old) and Gabby (6 yrs old) came over and played on Angel's cow. It was hilarious to see them. Actually Angel's cow looks a bit different, but i couldn't be bothered photographing it, so i pinched this piccy off some website. Hers is white like this one though, but the face on hers is much cuter and the horns are longer.

The great thing is, the kids playsafe website had this to say about their cows (which they call horses!!!): Enjoy bouncing around on this fun inflatable horse with a round, bouncy, ergonomic body. Specially shaped body for easy grip. Great for balancing and co-ordination skills. Made of thick, nontoxic vinyl. Comes deflated. Measures approximately 52 L x 51cm H. Colours and designs may vary. For ages 2+

The previous day we took them both swimming. I was surprised at how intimidated Gabby is in the pool - she obviously has not had a huge lot of exposure to water early on in her life. While she clung on to Annette's neck tightly and cried, Angel swam in circles around her in the deep end with her floaties on, kicking away! They were both surprised at how well Angel can swim and how brave and courageous she is in water.

I realised these two little girls make excellent playmates. Gabby is a fantastic role model in many other areas and I can see that Angel clearly loves having her as a friend. We went to IKEA yesterday and Angel got really upset that Gabby didn't come and sit with us in the car, until I told her they were in the car behind us. Angel promptly twisted herself out of her seatbelt in her babyseat and turned right around to have a look out the back window - much to my sheer horror. The last thing you want is your little backseat toddler not fixed safely down in her chair! Anyway, she was very excited to see their car arrive after ours. I think out of all the kids i have seen, Angel likes Gabby the most.
