Nursery made me a lovely Bob the builder card on Thursday and Mum didn’t go to work on Friday so I got to stay at home. I helped Mum make a picnic in the morning and once Dad was home and we opened a few prezzies we were off to ride on trains in Eastleigh!
What a classy set-up. The station even had a lovely big telly showing Thomas the Tank engine.
The trains were real steam engines but smaller and the carriages had no roofs. I was a bit worried we might fall out, but soon forgot about that once we got going.
We rode the train all around the lake and got off at the other end to eat the picnic.
After the picnic was dealt with we had a bit of a play on the playground and headed back on the train again. What I really wanted was a tunnel, and that’s just what I got:
A long, dark tunnel. It was ace. We got back to the station and had a lovely ice-cream sat on the platform watching Thomas films. On the way home Slim rang to see if we were going to be in later on, I suggested that he bring me some presents….
First off we saw Sue and Charlotte which was nice, and after that a steady steam of visitors arrived (Slim, Trace, Trish, Al, Nanny, Chris, Nick, Carol, Abi, Andy) all laden with prezzies! I even had a racing car birthday cake:
I didn’t even cry when everyone sang happy birthday and managed to blow out all of my candles in one go. I had a bit of a late night……it was great fun.
BIG, BIG lie in on Saturday morning before going to see Grandma and then home for lunch. Soon after that Alan, Sonia, Owen, Chard, Kaz, Rach and Ben turned up with another round of gifts and then we were off to ‘Milk and Keynes’ sledgeing. Now first of all, I don’t know what happened, but I must apologise to Yanna and Fen who ended up in Tamworth…..we’ll meet up soon! Now then, this all gets a bit weird, we were joined by Max and Leo (and Emma and Dean) and went into a massive building with a huge hill inside it covered in snow! We got kitted up and went to get on the white stuff. I wasn’t too sure about it all and after a little bit of coaxing from Emma I went in. Dad carried me a little way up the hill and sat me on a small sledge thing and whoosh, I was off down the slope! We had a few more goes, getting higher and faster each time but quite honestly I couldn’t see the point. I went back to the Café and had slush puppie with Mum, Rach and the ‘sidelined through mobile phone injury’ Ben. It was slippery, cold and wet out there and a cuddle with mum was a much better bet. Still, the others seemed to enjoy themselves and came out soaked to the skin. Maybe next time…..Once everyone was dried and changed we had some food!
It must have been the noisiest establishment in the coutry, even Max and I struggled to make ourselves heard. Once dinner was finished we had a go in a simulator ride, we flew a spaceship and had a fight with a dragon (I sat on Andy’s lap otherwise I would probably have been scared).
We watched Owen and Chard do some ski-ing (they didn’t even fall over) and then finally headed for home but not without one last bid for birthday glory from me. We went past a crowded bar with loud music thumping on the way through the car park, I asked Mum what it was but before she could reply I’d slipped under the rope and behind the bouncers to see for myself. I attracted the attention of a group of six or so young ladies sat having a drink and turned on the charm. They couldn’t get enough of me through the window but I was dragged back to the car giving them a big smile all the way.
After all the excitement of the previous two days we had a lazy Sunday morning playing with my new stuff:
Laura came round with you guessed it…a present and then we had a barbecue for lunch and played in the garden.
I invited Luke and Amy to come round in the afternoon through our hole in the fence, we played with my new Moon Sand:
They thought the Sand was cool, but our telly was very small.
So that rounded out a bumper weekend. Thanks to everyone who got me stuff, came round or came out with me over the weekend, I had a really great time and some really great toys (Mum and Dad loved the clothes too, well most of it, Owen)
So bringing things right up to date, yesterday I thought it must be raining or snowing as Mum took me to nursery in the car. Turns out it was neither and that she just doesn’t fancy the walk any more now the baby is getting bigger. I’m still pretty excited about the whole thing.
Grandad and Anne came round tonight with a....birthday present! Smart. I made them read me my book about poo........
