Yup, first off i'm doing a lot of walking backwards. I can do forwards easily, even running (especially now i've decided to keep my hands out of my pockets which makes falling over much more pleasant).
It was announced last week at school that we are having a trip to Fnkley Down farm this coming Friday, i'm so excited about it you wouldn't believe it. I've been having a christmas style how many more sleeps type countdown and everything. While we're on school news I got to do show and tell again this week! Check me out! I sat and did a lot of writing (mostly animal names) and a few pictures that seemed to go down well with the teachers, I think i'm on to something with my choice of materials......
So then, wednesday is still shopping day, still learning my colours with the fruit and veg. Really good on strawberries, raspberries and red peppers, not too bad with carrots or orange peppers and passable with banana's. So i'm not doing too bad really.
Chard appeared on our front garden last thursday afternoon, which was something of a surprise. He'd been doing some manual labour at my school and thought he'd pop in for a bit. We had a great game of slaps!
Friday we went down the park after school, Ned loves it as a lot of his friends seem to go down there. I don't mind, that means I get Dad to myself, to push me on the swings for ages and help me with my jumping.
Down the park with my friends from school is brilliant fun!
So the weekend then, now brace yourselves for a shock........we had a day out in Thatcham!
But it wasn't as bad as it may first seem, we went to the bike jumps on the sports field, I wanted a go:
It was my idea to go there, so I can take the blame:
Here we are checking out our lines (we're like the Athertons http://www.athertonracing.co.uk/ )
Once we'd had our fill of wheeled action we took to the park:
Mum looked really comfy on this roundabout:
The hunger was obviously kicking in by now so we headed to the Discovery Centre for a picnic. Mum had never ventured any further than the playground before so she was pleasantly surprised.
We even walked all the way around the lake (once we'd managed to bribe Ned):
I do like a climbing oppurtunity:
We stopped to wash our hair:
And then finally reached the playground, hooray!
Auntie Christine came to babysit, I was more than happy with the arrangement and made sure I had plenty to say to her!
I needed a little encouragement but soon came round to the idea of course, I was just tired after our thrilling day out and mildly traumatised by Primeval on the telly!
Lazy day sunday, we watched some bike racing on the internet, watched some cars racing on the telly, we played in the garden in our tent which we filled with toys and cushions to give it a more lived in look. We went for a short and sweet walk up the field and then did a little tidying up in the garden, it's actually starting to look like somewhere you might want to play for a bit......
Especially on Monday when Dad removed the fence by the path (under mum's instructions), it's provided us with a great little slope to ride bikes and scooters down, or my favourite, me driving the tractor with Ellis in the trailer!
We headed back to the park straight after school again today, Alastair was there this time, we terrorized the park for a bit and then started on the bigger kids doing athletics in the field next to the park!
Had I mentioned that I can't wait until friday?
