One of my favourite recent tricks has been to remove my trousers and pants and then hanging my bare bum out of Poppy’s cat flap. I bet Dad would like a go but he’s got no chance with a bum that big.
I’ve been for a weigh and put on half a pound in a week, a good performance by all accounts. The health visitor also said I could give up on solid food for a bit, that’s a result. That slop was inedible!
Friday and everything started turning a bit Christmassy….hooray! Auntie Trish came round with a Christmas Mr Man book and a book with a special kit for sending letters to santa in it.
We read all the stories and I listened really intently. Once we had a good old read we headed off to town to see Santa turn on the Christmas lights. We stopped by Auntie Christine’s shop and got pretend snow thrown over us (it’s still in my car seat) and she gave me a pair of fluffy reindeer antlers to wear:
We were having such a good time in the shop we nearly missed Santa go by and Dad had to run up the street with me to catch up. Did I mention it was raining…hard!!! We hung about in the market place for a bit in the rain before the lights went on and then we tried to find Santa again but he had gone…disappeared! What a shame, and my reindeer antlers got pretty soggy as well.
I slept through all the excitement, and rain.
When we got home Auntie Christine and Owen came round, they had a special present for Ellis and I that Nanny had sorted out for us a little while back. It was a big lorry with 24 little drawers in the back, all numbered. Now apparently a special Christmas fairy makes a visit once a day to leave us a little something in the drawer. Yeah right…..
So Saturday was party day, I was so excited I probably could have burst. But first of all there was the advent calendar to open, how exciting (for Mum). We always have to guess what will be behind the door. Now i'm still pretty new to this Christmas lark so i'm not so good with the guessing as Mum and Dad with their years of advent calendar experience. Finally it was time to go to Judes party, we got to the racecourse early but the party had already kicked off. There was a bouncy castle, a load of sports equipment, some slides and a load of other things to play with, but best of all there was a face painter. I started off as Ned but soon became a scary tiger:
I was in character too, chasing my prey around the hall and roaring as loud as I could. It lasted a little while, until I got a bit of a bump on the bouncy castle, had a cry and rubbed my eyes….
Jude, Alistair, Hugo and I were definitely the party animals, our finest scheme was using the skipping ropes to drag each other around the floor and attempting to remove each others heads with them, in the end the man came and put them away!
After we had worked up an appetite it was off to another room for some food. As if that wasn’t good enough we had a great view of the horse racing too and every time a group of horses charged past the window I led the cheering. Once the food was done and dusted we played pass the parcel.
We got a bit bored without anything to unwrap for ages but we all got a go in the end.
Even if I had heard enough of the terrible music (Dad says it was Shakira). It was the best party ever, even the party bags were ace, they had model aeroplane gliders in them which gave dad and I hours of fun target practice with Ellis at home.
The low point of the whole event was when one of Neds friends, I think it was Edward pointed out that I had a bogey attached to my nose starting a chorus of bo-gey! bo-gey! bo-gey! By all the rest of them. In the evening Andy,Ben, Rach and Kimi came round and I performed my party piece. It involves being put onmy back in a distant part of the room and then rolling over onto my tummy, then my back, then my tummy again, over and over until I have covered several feet accross the floor. To be honest, i've given it up again now though, it's too much effort. If I sit and look a little bit dejected and distant someone will come and get me anyway.
Fairy update: She must have come while I was at the party, she left me a santa chocolate!!! Maybe they were telling the truth?
Is it time for my close up yet:
So after the highs of Saturday we were back down to earth with a bump on Sunday, shopping….urrrgh!!! Dad, Ellis and I did manage to have a bit of laugh as we rode around in the trolley though. Once we got home it was time to watch Shrek. I can’t believe they kept it from me for so long, I loved it. It has made me ask lots and lots of questions though, I think I may need to see it again.
Fairy update: She left a snow man chocolate during Shrek, I must have been really engrossed in the film as I didn’t see a thing!
Back to nursery on Monday and Roses (our ‘teacher’) had also really got the Christmas bug, we had santa suits to wear and she had done a makeover on the home corner to make it look more christmassy, we’ll be whipped up into a frenzy!! Owen came round in the afternoon, he helped Dad cook curry for tea…..I had fishcakes instead!
Fairy update: She must have come during dinner, there was nothing in the truck before tea when I checked but by the time we were finished there was another Santa chocolate. I don’t know how she does it……
