Wheels!

Hello once again, how are we all?
Dad’s been keeping up the bike trip back from nursery, even if it looks like it might rain, it's great. We haven’t been caught out yet so fingers crossed. I like to helpfully shout out the word 'Wheels' at every oppurtunity while we are ridning along, i'm sure Dad finds it re-assuring.
Mum had Thursday afternoon off so we went to Lepe Country Park:

The sun was out and it was lovely and warm. We had a play in the park and had a long walk along the seafront without the buggy. The park had a big metal tube to crawl through, it was really funny when I was half way through and Dad wacked it one making a loud ringing sound. He had to do it so much he got a sore hand I think.
Friday we took the car to the garage. I was quite worried when a man made the car go up in the air and then took the two front wheels off….how were we going to get home? Dad assured me it was okay as he was just putting new tyres on. Never the less I was quite relieved when the car had it’s full complement of wheels attached and was back on the ground once more. After all that trauma we went to see Nanny. We went out in her garden and there was a frog in the grass! He hopped really well until he disappeared next door.
Then on to the weekend! Saturday morning and we went to Fantasy Land. I haven’t been for a while so was well up for it. My climbing skills had come on a lot and mum was amazed at my skills. I made dad climb all the way to the top with me and then made him go down the big slide with me on his lap. I wasn’t too sure on the first descent but by the 7th go I was loving it although I’m not sure dad was quite so keen. After that we went to Nicks to watch some football match or other and then have a barbecue. What a good day I had. I played in the garden with Yanna and Fen (thanks to Kin and Melissa for looking after me while mum and dad took it easy on the sofa).

And then we had a pitstop:

Later on I made everyone chase me around Nicks house, my energy was boundless. Thanks to Ben, Andy, Owen and Nick for the physical effort you made to keep me entertained and arranging the bean bag so nicely in the drop zone.
Sunday was at a slightly different pace to Saturday. We had a lovely lie in before going to get Great Grandma round for lunch. I got to ride round on her lap in the wheelchair which was proper smart. After lunch I was helping the table clearing process along to speed up the arrival of pudding by depositing the contents of my plate all over Grandma’s feet…sorry!

After dinner was done and dusted, I let her have a kip and a cuddle on the sofa.
After we had taken Grandma home I helped Dad wash the car with Mum. I loved splashing in the puddles and bubbles.
Monday Dad got all brave and let me help in the kitchen! We made some shortbread biscuits with chocolate chips in them. I helped mix the ingredients together in the mixing bowl and then supervised cutting them out. I took charge of adding the chocolate chips…some of them even made it onto the biscuits! Once they were in the oven we sat and watched them cook through the glass door.
On Tuesday dad picked me up from nursery on the bike and we went down the park to meet Mum for lunch. Things took a bad turn when I dropped one of my lovely home made biscuits in the dirt and cried my eyes out. Not even the offer of another one could ease my woe. I got over it eventually and we had a go on the slide in my super slippery trousers. Once we got home dad got me to help him put a load of dirt in a big tray and then poke some tiny little balls into the earth. He then got me to spray water all over it..most odd! I don’t know what all that was about, maybe I’ll find out later.
