Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Okay then, I was a little naughty at nursery last week. Me and one of the others decided we would shove our fingers up the taps in the toilet to make the water spray everywhere. It was really good fun, although we got caught and had to get changed into our spare dry clothes. Maybe I should have left it there, but we decided to have another turn…..but this time I didn’t have any spare clothes:

So I had to borrow this rather fetching pink top from nursery! I don’t think I was that naughty really though, I’m sure Mum was trying not to laugh when she told Dad what had happened.
The fairy has still been making regular visits, she leaves our goodies in this truck (well, Ned’s goodies anyway. I’m sure I’ll get in on it next year).

Thursday was pantomime day at nursery. We all went to see Beauty and The Beast at the Corn Exchange and I took mum along too.

Now most of the others were scared witless by the beast but not me. I’d been asking Mum about the beast all week so I knew what to expect. Shame she didn’t bring me any sweets like the other Mum’s did though We boo-ed, we cheered, we sang along and we danced in the aisles (well, those of us that didn’t leave in tears did anyway). It was such good fun I didn’t stop talking about it for days afterwards.
I spent the morning playing with Kimi and Rach and had a lovely time, thanks to you both!
As if that wasn’t enough, we went to the pasty shop afterwards with Dad and Ellis.

I didn’t have a pasty, I had milk.

They try and get me to eat some proper food every now and again but I really can’t be doing with it, yoghurts were the latest in a long line of non-starters.
We went round to see Grandma, and as luck would have it she was supervising the Christmas decorations in their big room:

I made sure I got involved in the decorating and the biscuit tin on their tea trolley.

I sat with Grandma while Ned and Dad blew up balloons and then let them go zooming across the room which they found ridiculously funny for some reason.
Andy came round for tea on Friday night, it was my choice as well on the menu. Chicken nugget and chips! Mum and Dad went out after tea but didn’t get dressed up or anything…most odd. I wonder what they were up to at this time of year?
I was good for Andy and drank loads of milk before I went to bed. He was even the only one who has been brave enough to put me to bed in my sleeping bag, good work Andy, I was lovely and cosy.
How wet was it at the weekend? Rubbish. We stayed in pretty much all day playing on the Wii and then betting on the horse racing that was on telly. Dad and I did quite well and won all the money, poor old Mum and Ellis got taken to the cleaners.
Sunday we went to uncle Alan’s for dinner with Grandad and Anne as well.

Alan did a good job of cooking, supplying drinks and chasing me around the house even though a little bird tells me he was up very late the night before and was probably a little worse for wear.

Grandad decided to put the envelope from his birthday card on my head…apparently he likes to do that sort of thing. Oh well, I didn’t mind I got my own back by having a milky sneeze on his jumper.
Yesterday was baking day at Auntie Christine’s, Hooray!!! I was so excited all morning at nursery I wouldn’t even eat my dinner as I was saving myself for the main event. It’s the level of detail that’s so impressive, from the Christmas chefs hat, apron and cake tin, through to my own mini rolling pin and even Christmas plasters for my poorly thumb nail (that has now come off completely….eeewww!). We baked, we sang, we even made paper chains for my bedroom and Laura popped round to see us as well, I think she has some sort of Ned seeking device built in as she always manages to appear at some point when I’m there. Every one should have an Auntie Christine……
I went to town wih Mum and Dad, we did some shopping and then went to have coffe, how very sophisticated we are when Ned isn't around.
So today we went off to the woods to find some puddles. What we hadn’t bargained on was that some of the puddles would be iced over!

They made a brilliant crunching sound as we walked through them and I did really well not to fall over I reckon.
Dad held up some sheets of ice for Mum and us to do some Kung Fu on as well, it smashed really well.
I didn’t even go too deep for my wellies until nearly the end when I followed Dad out into deep, open water. So it was wellies off, tip out the water, remove socks and trousers and get put in the push chair wrapped up in a nice fleece blanket and Mums coat until we got back to the car.
The fool, I stayed in my nice warm buggy and tried to sleep despite the constant bumping over three roots and stoney paths:

Okay then, that’s about all, except for Ellis’ close up of the week:
