We're almost all packed up now, and the cleaning is about 75% done - so I have five minutes to dash off tiny little post.
See that hat I'm wearing? One of our neighbours in this building brought it round for the little dude today. She found it in her hat box and knew he would get a kick out of it, being the mad fiend for a hat that he is. I'm rather fond of it too - with its crazy tie dyed felt and bowler-ish shape - but I really love what it represents. It's a symbol of the little community that we've made here - the sort of urban family of funny stray people who like us (and love our little dude) and that we're really going to miss.
I'm going to miss living in a place where there is always someone around to talk to, where I can just let the little dude out to play in the backyard and there'll be someone (and maybe a little dog too) out there happy to kick the football with him or dig in the garden with him or find a funny old felt hat for him to wear. The goodbyes are really starting to get to me now (you can probably tell). Ah well, we'll find a new motley crew soon enough - and we'll have the hat to remind us of the people we left behind.
Much cuter on this guy, I think you'll agree!

Aww look at little dude in the last pic! He looks like he's too cool for school with his funky hat and cheeky expression!
Awww....he does look cute in the hat!! I hope the move goes smoothly for you and you find a new group to hang out with!!
It is hard Mama. I remember the same feeling leaving our funny flat in Randwick. Little dude will love Queensland (aye?) can just see him joining the nippers lifesaving club.

Hi there-good luck with the move my dear, it is sad, but it sounds you have a lot to look forward to as well!
Awww super cute on the little dude! Only you skye could pull off a tie dye felt bowler hat!!
Hope the moves runs smoothly. xx
Aw, your little dude looks so cute in the hat and that fab tee :)
Skye: I feel for you. I know what it's like to leave places. So hard that I refuse to do it anymore (and hopefully the fates won't force me! :-)) I'm giving you my positive move vibes. I am certain that a new, great crew awaits you because you all are a great crew. Like attracts like. Be well.
Wow, it sounds like a sad departure. I know that with your open and personable nature, though, that you'll find that new motley crue as soon as you move.
Your little dude is so cute. That hat is super on him, and his shirt made me laugh!
Memories are fab and you'll soon amass new ones. Good luck with the last of the cleaning xx
He looks adorable in that hat!
You both look fab in that hat.
Good bye is always hard but you will find new people and that is exciting too. Good luck.
Loving that hat - both you and the little one look very very cute!!
Oh, the cuteness, I can barely stand it! I hope Clover grows to like hats eventually, now she just tries to rip them right off. By some miracle I actually got her to wear one for Halloween.
The hat looks like it would be perfect with your new fake Lacoste shirt too.
P.S. Hope you meet many wonderful people in your new living situation, I'm sure you will :)
With or without hat, that is one of THE CUTEST little dudes I've ever seen. Don't worry, lady - you'll find a new community in no time.
That hat is freaking awesome! You wear it well, as does the little dude who is cute as ever.
Moving is always tough, I had to do it numerous times in my childhood but touch wood we've been in Melbourne for 12 years which is on average 10 more years than anywhere else I've ever lived. It's fun to make new friends and meet a new community though, and I wish you all the best in settling into your new place.
Ooooh this post makes me all happy.
You both look so beautiful and sweet at the same time.
You really have such a lovely, little dude...

"Talk to my agent"?
I want to have a kid just to put it in a t-shirt like that! Ok, that's not a good enough reason to have children, but still... I love it, it's hilarious!
I hope the move goes smoothly.
