Redhill Market - 01 Nov 2008

Went to Redhill Market at Mornington Peninsula two Saturdays ago. The market was larger than I expect. There were food, fruits, clothes, paintings and Xmas gifts etc. Reached there at approx 10.30am and we only had less than 3hours to tour the place as the market close at 1pm. We only took a 10mins break, ate some oven-baked scones and hot chocolate which were sold by boy-scouts. It was really cute to see the kids preparing the drinks, food and as cashiers collecting money. I was pretty worried that they might scald themselves with the hot drinks. It was rather cold in the morning and I wore 2 layers plus a coat.. but by lunch time, it got so warm that I had removed two layers of clothing!!

(Bought a new purple polka-dot head scarf at the Redhill market for Shannyn, its also got tiny ornaments like stars and flowers which made it even more cute! But obviously its too big for her and it keeps popping up like a chef's hat!!)

(Think her pink cap looks better!)

(By the time we were ready to leave, the 'carpark' is already empty. This was the carpark, which actually looks quite nice and peaceful without any cars!)

We also got 2 new boat pictures at the market (see above pic) and placed them in our living room. Even Shannyn loves the pictures as she keeps turning her head towards the images whenever she sees them and even points at them. And we also taught her that a new word "Boat". Whenever we ask her where is the boat, she will point at the pictures!

Now we are communicating, in some ways, via sign language (or pointing language) and its getting fun as we are all starting to improve our communication. And when she wants a drink, she will point at the cup and I will give her a drink and so now, she knows that by pointing, we will know better what she is referring to.
