Once we had gone to pick him up we took advantage of some dry weather (I thought I had been born in the summer?) and headed off to the seaside for the afternoon:
Here’s me having my first ever feed on the sand, I’m sure I’ll be getting used to this over the coming months.
And here I am playing with my truck, I had a great time even though I didn’t fancy going for a paddle as there were little bits of pebbly beach that made my little delicate feet hurt. As is normal in these situations I tried to join another family with two young girls but sadly they went off home without me….one day I’ll escape.
Thursday was a big day for me....I went to the barbers! Mum had been on about me going for ages but Dad has not been so keen, fearing all sorts of tears and lopped off ears. He shouldn't have worried, I loved it. I had to wear a big black blanket and sit on a special chair while the lady made my hair wet and chopped it all off. It really tickled my face and I loved blowing it onto the floor. Most of all though I liked smiling at myself in the big mirror. I even got to help myself from the sweetie tin afterwards because I was such a good boy. I was so pleased with my new look we marched straight round to show Auntie Chris at her work.
On Friday we went to the library to get some books, I picked the ones I wanted in record time and they were all about tigers. On the way out we also rented the ‘Cars’ DVD at long last. I couldn’t wait to watch it. Dad put it on after tea, and after the massive excitement of seeing Lightning McQueen race and the total disappointment that he didn’t win I was soon asleep and missed the end (actually, I missed the middle as well).
Saturday we went to Windsor to do some shopping. I was a really good boy! Dad and I saw the soldiers in their big furry hats and red jackets marching while Mum and Ellis looked at delicate things in a girls shop. One great thing about Windsor is that it has a pasty shop just like the one in Newbury (only it doesn’t have any chairs in it?)
So they all stuffed their face with pasties, and just for a change I had some delicious milk while we tried to take shelter from the lashing rain…..glamorous!
Once we got home we popped round to see Nanny, we had a lovely cuddle.
Sunday we went up the woods to splash in the puddles…but there weren’t that many to be found. We had to search long and hard and eventually struck gold with this beauty:
We all had a good old splash about and I did my favourite trick of going in too deep for my wellies and getting wet feet.
I slept. Had a little cry and then slept again.
We came home and I decided my legs looked a little un-interesting, I decided to cover them in stickers:
After that I ate a big roast dinner, even the vegetables! Once that was out of the way we watched Cars again. Once more I had the roller coaster ride of the first race and then fell asleep. I did see the end this time though.
Monday the health visitor came to test my hearing. Apparently you need to be asleep for it to be done….no trouble there then. I was also weighed and am putting on weight nicely now.
We picked up that Ned from nursery and went straight to see my Great Grandma. Ned is very rude, he walked in and made no secret of the fact he wanted the chocolate out of her fridge. He loves it, I don’t know what it tastes like but Mum seems to like it too….maybe I’ll get to try it one day?
I had a bit of a sing song in the afternoon, I don’t know what Mum and Dad found so funny about:
I’m a little teapot short and stout,
Here’s my handle, here’s my stump!
Once Ned had gone to bed Alan and Sonia came to see me. They bought me some presents, some lovely clothes and a ‘Bumbo’
It’s pretty weird but I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Ned tried it out on Tuesday morning, I’m surprised he didn’t get his big bum stuck in it!
I love Ellis’ Bumbo, it’ll be great for her to be able to sit up and watch me go about my business.
I rang Dad at work on Tuesday morning, he loves talking to me on the phone, I make so much sense and never have long awkward pauses. I didn’t go to nursery, instead Grandad and Anne took me out to the Beale park. I had a great day out with them even if poor old Grandad could only afford one ice cream that I ate in front of him while he went without. We saw meerkats, rode on a train and had a great time riding around the playground in the pedal cars. I also chased some rogue chickens, although I didn’t like it when they chased me back.
While Ned was out, Mum and I went visiting her friend Jean, she cuddled me all morning so that gave mum’s arms a rest. Once Dad was home the three of us went out for lunch, it was so civilised without that hooligan brother of mine.
Here I am getting a cuddle with Grandad.
Oh yes, and another thing Mum says I have ‘Bingo wings’ if anyone could help enlighten me as to what they are I’d be most grateful.
