Did I show you a picture of my bicarbonate of soda crytstals I grew for my school project last week? No I thought I hadn't:
I was super pleased with them and caused quite a stir when I took them into school at breakfast club.
We had the photographer in at nursery on Tuesday, that will be the last time that happens and it'll be school uniform shots from now on I suppose. I made the most of it though and really pulled my best poses.
We did dodgeball at multi skills on Wednesday, I love dodgeball. I'd really hit my stride by the time Dad and Ellis turned up to pick me up and gave them a real masterclass in the art, pretty much seeing off the entire opposition team singlehandedly.
Then it was our weekly sprint to Thatcham, only a little bit late this week. Oops.
We had a proper good game of doctors and nurses with Mum on Thursday evening, and once we'd fixed up all the teddy bears and other assorted soft toys it was Ned's turn for some attention.
Yeah, I didn't mind laying down in the makeshift 'ward' (on the lounge floor anyway).
When Dad got to nursery on Friday Neeve and I were in the middle of a game of mummies and babies. We're playing together quite a lot after all our school visits together.
We did our school music festival performance on Friday morning. This one was behind closed doors so no adults got in the way. We had kids from loads of other schools come to sing and dance with us and it was really good, especially the ice lollies.
We had to rush home from the playground after school a bit earlier than usual to watch the space shuttle take off.
Yeah, it was the last ever flight so we watched with great interest on the internet. It was a bit cloudy in Florida though, so it was soon off into the clouds which was a shame.
In other school related news, I got my report to take home on Friday. I think I must have done pretty well as Mum and Dad were really pleased with me....very pleased indeed. So much so they promised me a trip to Pizza Hut.
We had a lazy morning on saturday, filled with minor squabbling and arguments between us kids.
Yeah, it helped pass the time I suppose. Although making cup cakes with Mum was a nice diversion.
In the afternoon we went to Yanna's for her birthday barbecue.
We had a great time, playing all sorts of sports in the garden, eating cakes and more cakes and then some more cakes.
We stayed really late, playing with Yanna and Fen's cousins, until it got dark in fact.
So there wasn't much doing sunday morning.
Well, except me having a confidence crisis about my BMX race. Mum talked me round and we were soon on our way.
I helped set up the 'Team Ned' pit area, which has evolved to quite a civilised arrangement these days:
I had a few laps with Dad to get my eye in (he got told off for having a short sleeve top on, practice what you preach eh Dad?) and then I was right back into it. I don't know what I was worried about!
Mum and I had a great time in the park and I rode my bike around the field loads and loads (no stabilisers of course).
There were a few more in my category this time (my mate and nearest rival Charlie wasn't there sadly) but we were still lumped in with the eight year olds. It didn't matter though, I came second in each one of my heats, one of which was even from gate 8. I was on a charge and loving it. I made the eight year old A-final and came in fifth, well clear of the other seven year olds for another category win. If Dad's maths are right (highly unlikely) I should have sealed the overall series win, but we'll have to wait and see for sure.
With what little energy I had left after screaming encouragement at Ned all afternoon , I was promised a go on the track once the racing had finished:
And here I am, stabilisers only just gone and i'm riding a national standard BMX track! I was really pleased with myself and Dad only helped me get to the top of a few of the bigger jumps. The ladies form the club loved my bike almost as much as my outfit (woolly cat gloves tipped the balance I think). I made a whole lap with only one small crash and can't wait to go racing myself.
We headed home, having a quick power nap in the back of the car before arriving at Pizza Hut for my school report reward. Lovely day.
