Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Okay then, so the stabilisers are well and truly off and I was hungry for more two wheeled action. Dad had been going on about the BMX track for ages so I kept on and on at him to take me….the first sunny afternoon we had and we went! I had to check it out on foot at first as it looked a bit scary:

I sat and had a little think about it:

And then I was off:

again:

and again:

I loved it, and so did Ellis!
He’s right I did, Ned shouted at Dad to race him down the track with me in the pushchair, it really made me laugh even though we were too slow to beat Ned.
In more gentle pursuits we’ve been playing row, row, row your boat:

Dad’s been trying to copy Mum’s close up photography style with limited success:

It’s an okay shot Dad, but please wipe my nose clean before taking my picture.
I made some really smart binoculars:

You can see for miles through them, honest!
We’ve been to the Discovery centre for a play as well. I achieved another milestone by sliding down the fireman style pole all on my own as well as riding the aerial runway unaided. I also played with my future wife Emily (she’s from nursery) who just happened to be there (same time next week Emily?).
We had to go to the garden centre so we also went to the fish shop to see the fish, there were thousands and I loved them (but didn’t like dad dangling me too close over the tops of the tanks).
I loved them too, especially the fast, colourful ones.
Dad also bought me a pair of gloves like his for when I’m riding my bike, but they’re much too smart to keep just for that so I’ve been wearing them pretty much all the time, except for when I’m tired and want to have a little bit of finger sucking action.
It was Anne’s birthday at the weekend so we had an unexpected trip out for lunch to the Carvery…lovely lovely stuffing balls!
Lovely, lovely jar for me again then! Never mind, I got to sit on the end of the table and watch everybody coming and going, giving them all a smile. After that Dad and I went home to watch the rugby and Ned went with Alan and Mum to see grandma who’s still in hospital.
Yeah, we styled it up in the Aygo, thats how we're rolling!
As if that wasn’t quite enough excitement for one day, Slim and Trace came round to see us in the afternoon too. What was even better was that they stayed for tea and everything!
Sunday we went to Marwell zoo, we got there really early and the penguins were still in bed:

We got the first ride of the day on the train:

It was a bit cold and breezy on here, but I loved it.
The giraffes were brilliant, it was a really interesting observation on hierarchy in family units watching them. As the Daddy giraffe was eating his hay, he would let the Mummy giraffe share it with him (rather eluctantly) but as soon as the children giraffes got within striking distance he shooed them away with a swing of his big long neck, it was very much like meal times at our house….but without the really long necks.

Here we are with some old ass:

But best of all were the penguins:

I raced them past their windows, they were so much fun we had to go and see them twice.
Just a question here, I don’t know if Ned has noticed this or not but we only seem to go to these places in the dead of winter when it’s freezing cold. Can’t we go in the summer instead, so we can sit and eat our picnic in the warm, rather than huddling together for warmth in some draughty old shed or something? Just a thought….
I’ve got new duvet cover:

Lightning Mcqueen just for a change.
And I’ve taken a keen interest in the medical sciences using Ned’s doctors kit:

So then, windy weather? Result I say, mum took us to nursery in the car instead of her usual walk. Not only that, but on the way home she drove through the biggest puddle in the world sending water miles up into the sky. As soon as I got in I told Dad that Mum was the best driver in the world. He tried to play catch up on the way to Basingstoke that afternoon driving through every puddle he could find but he wasn’t up to Mum’s standard. He even tried to buy me off with a milkshake but he didn’t stand a chance.
Laura had a visit tonight, I was pretty excited about it, but did feel a litle cheated when it turned out Mum and Dad weren't going out....
I'm not sure what to make of her, I even had a little cry.....i'm sorry Laura, it's just shoe envy. I'm sure i'll get over it.
Okay then, I’ll attempt another video this week, just a few action sequences, enjoy!
