So it’s been raining then? Rubbish. Makes Dad tetchy as well, especially when he’s trying to load the pair of us into the car during a downpour and I start messing about…
I’d just been weighed and had put on over a pound. How about that then? My new hearty appetite is certainly paying dividends.
When we finally got home, soggy and miserable Dad must have felt guilty for shouting so we made a robot out of the old boxes and what have you we’ve been saving up:

We were really pleased with it, except after I had added a few embellishments he wouldn’t actually stand up anymore.
The upshot of all this wet weather is that I got to see my first proper rainbow n the way home from nursery, a real bright one right across the sky.
I wasn’t fussed about it, I just made my new favourite noise…..growling!!! I growl all the time and really love it. Everyone else must too as they growl back with a smile.
Friday night was cards night, Abi came over for a bit and then went to bed in her travel cot upstairs with Ellis and myself.

We were all very good though and let the grown ups play nicely. Mum put in a strong performance for second after a long absence from the game so well done to her. I’ll look forward to helping her spend her prize money. I’m sure Abi will help her Dad spend his winners money?
Saturday morning and I had been promised a trip to go bowling, trouble was that I was a right miserable monkey (probably tired). We tried to leave once but I was so naughty we all got marched back into the house and I got sent to bed. After we’d all cooled down we tried again….this time more successfully. I wasn’t that bothered about the bowling this time to be honest, even though I got a strike and a couple of spares. It was a rare occasion indeed though as Dad actually beat Mum. He was pretty pleased with himself I think.

I preferred the air hockey, I scored loads of goals…albeit at the wrong end of the table.

We had a family drive as well….

I loved it at the bowling alley, there was noise, movement, light and colour everywhere. I can’t wait to have a go myself.
In the afternoon we took Mum shopping for some new work clothes. I was pretty good for a while (if you count licking the mirrors in the fitting rooms as being good) but eventually I ended up back in the doghouse and we had a very brisk walk back to the car, which ‘made my bones hurt’ it was so fast. Oh dear.
I tell you what, he’s been a right miserable little git lately, my brother. I’ve cried more because of him crying and shouting than I ever have because I’m upset.

Yeah, but you still like me the best!!!
Grandad and Anne came round for dinner on Sunday. They bought me a new baby bouncer, pictures next week I promise when I get a bit more used to it. I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it though, I’m starting to get a bit bored of the floor!
We took them out for a walk after lunch, first off to see the horses:

And then on to the park up the hill, I had a great game with Grandad on the swings when he pinched my wellies and tried to put them back on as I swung back and forth. We didn’t stay long though as it was really windy and freezing cold.
So then, this weeks round up….I’ve not worn the same outfit twice since Christmas (I’m like my cousin Laura), I still have only two teeth and I’m still enjoying nursery. They always tell Mum and Dad I’ve been really smiley but I’m pretty tired out in the afternoons and have started going to bed a bit earlier now as well.

I’m learning all about caterpillars at nursery, how they turn into butterflies and the like, all very interesting. My favourite book at the moment is one of mums that’s all about the old kings and queens and best of all the Vikings! I make Mum read me loads of it and I listen intently to every word, even when she thinks I’ve fallen asleep and not listening anymore…..
