First Day of School

Yippee after hearing lots of talk about "School" I finally got to visit today. There were loads of children and most of them were friendly - I used my baa a lot to try and call them as they kept disappearing inside the buildings.

Milk Time - My favourite!

Kissing the electric fence

Today I wanted to try and kiss the fence butt hat did not go as I planned.
As I kissed it leap out and bit me.
Mummy was standing closest so it was her fault.
Still I am never going to kiss that thing again!

Scales

My mummy weighed me this morning, I weigh 8.4kg. She said thats about the same as our big black cat called Quarter.

My menu at the moment

In the last day or two I have become a very speedy efficient milk-drinker!

This is what I eat everyday and if I was allowed I would eat lots more :-)

Mostly my bottles are between 200ml and 250ml.

Breakfast 6:15am (before mummy goes to school)

Morning Tea 9:30am

Lunch 12:30pm

Afternoon Tea 3:30pm

Dinner 6:30pm

Dessert 9:30pm (but often earlier so my mummy can feed me that one too)

When mummy is away at school I am lucky that her grandma feeds me - thank you grandma.

I think I'm part mountain goat

My family are getting grumpy with me sometimes - I don't know why? I am only jumping up on to the couch, beds, across the coffee table, on to the TV cabinet followed by nibbling on magazines, plastic bags, the TV remote, edge of the fire, computer cords and tupperware containers.
They muttered something about "...if I don't stop it I won't be allowed inside".

Poor lambie - thats not very loving is it.

Bed-Lamb

Last night I discovered that I can jump extremely high and get just about anywhere the kittys can - the top and bottom of the couch and more importantly on to my mummy's bed. She was snuggling down to go to sleep and I jumped on her stomach to join her. She wasn't very happy when my nappy fell off and I looked like I might have need a wee.
Maybe that's the reason I keep ending up sleeping in the barn?

Using Lambs in Classrooms

Hi - Tian's Mum here.
Miss Oreo Lamb is a great inspiration for work in my year 0 - 2 class, we are currently writing narratives so she became an overnight star:

The tale of Oreo the Nappy Lamb!

On a grotty grey Thursday sometime in August a lamb as brown as chocolate fudge arrived at her new home in the hills of Tauranga. Her name was Miss Oreo because of a white stripe of wool on her forehead like the filling of an Oreo cookie.

Miss Oreo loved to sprint down the hall with her doggie brother, skidding and sliding around the corners, wiping out the furniture. Unfortunately she would get so excited that she forgot to sneak outside for a wee.

After the third little accident her new mummy had a brilliant idea. She fitted a glossy white nappy to Oreo’s fluffy brown behind and there was never another accident again.

Not as tasty as it sounds

Today while I was wandering the house in my lamby-nappy I discovered something important!

"Foodtown magazines don't taste as good as they sound"

I'm in "training"

Now that I've settled in to my new home mum said I have to start some serious training, it does't seem to hard yet (actually I think it's kind of fun). We wander around the garden and paddocks together, sometimes with this green thing joining us together and sometimes just racing around like crazy creatures. HT and I are much better at spronging than mummy is.

Mummy and I off for an adventure together:

My big brother

This is my new big brother - his name is HT, he doesn't seem to hear a word I say but I think he is fantastic. He doesn't even mind the fact I follow him EVERYWHERE! He has a lovely comfy bed that he lets me share and he helps me feel happy and safe, I think I'll include him in "My Herd".

This is our very first meeting (he didn't even laugh at me wearing a nappy). I think we're going to have lots of fun together.

HT has a very comfy bed and he lets me sleep in it with him. Friendship seems to be all about sharing your things.

Hi my name is Oreo

Hi everyone,
My name is Miss Oreo Lamb.
I was born on August 14th 2010 at a place just north of Tauranga called Whakamarama.
I am a dorper x moorit lamb. A moorit means that I carry recessive genes that cause my dark colouring, other lambs like me can be anything from a light caramel colour to jet black.
I was one of triplets so my sheep mum couldn't look after all of us - that's when I got to meet my wonderful new family.

My new family came and collected me after school on Thursday 19th August - little did I know how lucky I was :-). I must say the car journey to my new home in Pyes Pa wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - infact I nodded off to sleep for parts of it. Meeting my family was incredibly exciting and a little bit scary. There is mum of course, her name is Tian, and the rest of her human family, my new big brother - HT (he's something they call a 'dog'), and some growly kitty companions too. Those are my family members who are allowed indoors - I guess there will be others outside too.

Tonight I get to sleep in a dog crate in the bathroom so nighty-night for now,
