And all that sort of stuff. Grayson C finally giving an update of our Christmas day/week (yes I know I am late - give a 15 month old a break!)
Now, where was I
The fun began Christmas eve with Grandma and Grandpa, Nan, Pa and Ron coming over for a BBQ. Mummy seemed a bit concerned about my tendency to head off towards the BBQ - it did look RATHER fun - she kept muttering something about Acticoat, skin grafts and how it might be a bit embarassing for her or something. Hmmm. Don't know about that. In the end I crashed after main course/present opening as it was getting a little late.
The next morning I woke up, and there was this SHIP at the end of our bed AND it had PIRATES on it (which match my pirate PJs - AAAARRR) not to mention a big sack filled with presents. The presents were pretty good but I had to tell mummy and daddy that the best present is early morning squishey - so they took the hint and got me a bottle of that too.
On the less than pleasant side, my mouth was REALLY hurting and I needed lots of pain relief and bonjella to stop that molar coming through. I may have been feeling a bit frazzled at this stage so I had to make sure mummy and/or daddy were giving me lots of cuddles all the time. (This may have put a dint in their lunch prep plans but I think they need to realise that it is ALL ABOUT ME)
Nan and gramps and Aunty Riley came over for lunch and I got even MORE cool presents. I think we need to go to ikea to buy up a bit more storage space for them all. Ahem, father?
Today we went to the Gold Coast to see Grandma and Great Grandma. I got to play with my older cousin Matthew - who pretended to do a funny walk after me (and TOLD mummy he was waddling like me- AAAACK! I don't waddle!!! I am WALKING, I AM WALKING!! So what if I loll about from side to side. This is a patented Grayson swagger that I am practising for when I get older and need to impress...someone or other)
WADDLING???
Its enough to drive a baby-toddler to more drink
I think I need to lie down now

Santa 07
This week we thought we would see how Grayson reacted to Santa. Mmmmm.... "not so sure about this Daddy" was his response. Well what did we expect. Although he was better behaved than Henry (the 16 month old in front of him) who screamed bloody murder! Maybe next year he will understand what it is all about. He did get a nice balloon from the balloon fairy in DJ's. But walking down the mall some low life stuck a pin in it causing it deflate (I hope Santa was watching and added that loser to his naughty list!) Luckily daddy had a back up balloon in G's backpack that he was able to quickly inflate and all was good again :)

Grayson Helps Out
It has been awhile since I last posted but I blame Australia's poor internet connections. You see I have been in hospital and had to deal with dial up! And let me tell you it is even worse than I remember. I truly don't understand how anybody can use it these days. But maybe that is the point.....so everyone will sign up for Australia's crappy broadband instead. Oh well at least PM Rudd will sort things out with 100mbps broadband. Anyway here is Grayson's favourite pastime de jour!

Goggles
We headed down to the coast for a drive as we had a brand new X3 for the weekend courtesy of our good friends down at Brisbane BMW. It had only done about 50km before I got to defile it :)
Since it was such a nice day Grayson and I decided to have a quick dip in the pool at dad and Karen's place. Not too sure at first but seemed to come around in the end. If we decide to buy the house at Alderly then he will have his own pool to frolic in. But you know how auctions are....the bidding might get out of control in which case we will bow out and keep looking.

Schmap!!
What is Schmapp you ask? Well I had to look it up as well but it turns out it is an online tourist guide of sorts telling visitors where the cool places to hang out are. I found this out recently when I got an email from them wanting to use one of my Flickr photos for their latest guide. So you can now check it out too here. On the top right there are a few photos of the Belgian Beer Bar and you can click the arrow to see mine.

Noosa updates - aka the dangers of co-sleeping...
Hello from Grayson - and if I sound a bit sillier than usual it is because I am febrile (39.8!) and am under the influence of medications - such as panadol and nurofen - not to mention mummy might be a little mad at me....
It all started when Daddy had to go back home to Brisbane, JUST after we had arrived in Noosa (or so it seemed). Something about an exam I think. That left me and the mother unit to our own devices Thursday night. I did all the usual things, dinner, a couple of tunes at the piano bar and then went to bed. Sounds quite innocent at the moment doesn't it. At about 11pm I woke up and felt REALLY sick and may have turned over and may have puked up all my dinner and squishey and dessert all over mummy - who was fast asleep in bed with me.
Well, she was pretty good about it all - particularly with all that sticky stuff in her hair and everything. She and I had a nice warm shower (after which I may have been sick again, and I wont mention the stuff that came out the other end) and we hopped into the other bed - which wasn't QUITE as good as the first one, but it was a lot cleaner. Mummy may have muttered something about not having another pair of pyjamas so she ended up wearing one of the hotel robes (which were a bit scratchy to cuddle against ). I was feeling a little bit FRAGILE after all of this and did spend the rest of the night needing mummy cuddles and a bit of constant reassurance.... Not to mention another bottle or two as well - Hey my tummy was EMPTY!
Mummy didn't look her nice self in the morning - but I am smart enough not to say anything (Daddy has taught me a lot about this sort of stuff already) as she was a bit grumpy too....
So!
Last night I stayed with grandma and grandpa as the parents were going out to some swish restaurant (Berardos) - I was a TAD miffed - why couldn't my bugaboo fit in there hmm? I didn't sleep too much as I was a bit pooky about not going out and my mouth was really really sore (I think its another tooth - or as I am known to say these days... "Oh oh!")
But I digress.
Today things picked up a bit as mummy had FINALLY finished at that conference thing and the three of us went out for lunch, then for some ice-cream and I managed to score a nice blue spade and orange bucket - which I put to good use as the montage on flickr shows.
Off to sleep for me now - over and out from Grayson "Danger Mouse" Cook.
As to the meaning of that.... well, I will let the parental units explain that in another blog entry.
MWAH!

UQ feel for home exam
I had to sit an online exam for my masters yesterday so to make it feel more like the uni exams that I have come to know and love I decided to add that authentic flavour with a blackboard telling me the start and finish times. The only thing missing was the little old lady that used to remind us not to have any illegal materials in the exam room (she was a medical school exam institution!). This was supposed to be a closed book exam but they obviously had to rely on us to do the right thing here as I had internet access to a world of information at my fingertips. At least they had a sneaky way to see if it was actually me sitting the exam. About half way into the exam one of the questions was "what is your date of birth?". I guess at least I got one right!
Later in the day we headed up to Noosa for Mel's conference and are staying at the Sheraton. I will post some photos of our stay over the next few days. I have to go back down for a "real" UQ exam tomorrow morning.
