Kippy Kid

The Macquarie Dictionary of Australian Slang defines kip as:

kip
noun 1. a sleep. --verb 2. to sleep. 3. to stay (somewhere) on a temporary basis: He's kipping at Tom's for a couple of days. [earlier meaning `bed', `common lodging-house', `brothel'; see Old English cip brothel]

After a week of having Aidan wake up consistently between 6:30 and 7:00am each day, it finally came to the last day of our holiday, and he decided to sleep in. When he wants to be, he is a Kippy Kid, although why he has to do it on the one day when we weren't meant to sleep in on our holiday, is anyone's guess. Every other day I would have loved to have slept in until 9:30am, but instead we had to be awake to cater for our beloved child. Today, he crawled in to bed with us at around 6:30am - and promptly went back to sleep. This is understandable, as we did have a very late evening by the kids standards the night before, as we had Sebastian, Katrina and Graham come and visit us.

Ethan and I did manage to get one more swim in this morning. I had commented earlier on how good the pool is, and you can see from these pictures that it is pretty nice. With all the rain over the past few days, the water temperature had dropped. The main pool was a bit chilly, however the heated pool was still nice, and the spa was great for getting that last little bit of niggle out of my well relaxed muscles. This was probably good for Anth as she got to do all the cleaning and packing without us under her feet. From her perspective, she probably thought "Yeah, thanks for leaving me to do all the cleaning and packing, while you go and have a swim..."



The trip home was uneventful, and we got home back to domestic domesticity. Wednesday, the dog, will be home tomorrow, so everything will be back to normality in the Angry Dad household. I must note here also, that the crazy national enquirer has started his own blog, so feel free to go and read his diatribe at some point!

Ciao for Now, Angry Dad.
