Well here’s a first, an update with no pictures! I don’t know why, Dad must have forgotten to take the camera anywhere at all, so sorry about that.
Thursday afternoon Dad and I went to Fantasyland. I had a new found air of confidence and made my way for the biggest block in the soft area, climbed on it and then flopped onto the ground in a very graceful fashion. I made my way over to the slide into the ball pool but this was old hat and soon headed for more excitement. I made my way into the upstairs section and soon got to grips with that. There was a bendy tube slide back down to the floor and I thought it was high time I gave it a go. I clambered into the black hole and shot of downwards. All dad could hear was me laughing all the way down. It took him a while to get down to ground level as he was too scared of using the slide in case I was still in it! My special move however was the belly flop into the ball pool. For this I arranged myself on the edge of the pool, outstretched my arms and composed myself before falling forwards into the abyss. I made Dad wince a few times but I loved it, even though I did scrape my chin a bit on one of the edges. I heard some of the other parents down there describe me as ‘a robust little boy’ and asked if I ever cried after seeing me take a tumble and get up as if it was nothing. After that we went to see Nanny for some refreshment and then after tea we went to see Great Grandma and played indoor football in 80 degree heat. Toasty!
Next up the weekend! Saturday morning Alan asked me if I was going to have a bath getting me all excited and then snaked me and went in the shower first! I showed him by getting in the shower with him! By the time dad got home from his bike ride, Uncle Alan had gone and I was in the bath for real. Mum had decided she would stay drier if she actually got in there with me. We went to town in the afternoon to look for some more glasses for mum (did I mention that I broke her existing pair? Ooops). It was really boring and she couldn’t even decide which ones to get in the end. Never mind.
Alan has gone now, so I’ve got my bedroom back but I’ve got no one to wake up in the morning.
Grandad, Anne and Alan came round for tea and then Mum and Dad went out. I played Lego with Grandad for the evening.
Sunday we went to look at cars at a supermarket in Slough of all places. They only take me to the best places. This place was weird, hundreds and hundreds of boring silver or black cars, no red ones to be seen!
Monday afternoon Dad did something I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do before…Gardening! I got given a trowel and dug up nearly all the gravel from the front garden, spreading it across the pavement and the road. It took Dad ages to sweep it all back….
This afternoon we went for a stroll to see the diggers on the building site and the horses in the field, not bad I suppose for the old cheapskate.
In general news, we’ve moved rooms at nursery but it’s only next door. I’m still with my friend the beloved Jude so that’s okay.
My new favourite word is NO! I use it all the time, even when somebody offers me cake, but I don’t mean it most of the time, I just find it really funny. Speaking of cake, I’ve now realised that the letters C – A – K – E spell out CAKE! So that’s spoilt their little code over the dinner table.
Anyway, I’ll endeavour to get my paparazzi to take some snaps for next week…
