Dad picked me up from Nursery on Thursday and we met up with mum and went to the library. Books, books and more books! It could only be better if it was an all you can eat cake shop. We ploughed through thousands before I made my choices and we were left. My favourite pick was Noddy saves Christmas.
Instead of going straight home we went round the corner to a brand new park! I never knew it was even there! It’s a great park, especially for us slightly smaller ones. There’s a slide/climbing frame, some swings, a three prong seesaw, a spinning pole thing and a funny wobbly bench. Dad was muttering that parks weren’t like this in his day….don’t know what he’s on about but I know I like this one. Just after we got stuck in my friend Alistair from nursery turned up with his friend Sophie. They also had a couple of babies with them, one of them was eating dirt and the other one had no hair which I found very disturbing. It was a really nice surprise and we had a great time. It was much better going on the three pronged seesaw with Alistair and Sophie than it was with dad on his own, he just made it sink to one side.
As if all that wasn’t enough for one day, we picked mum up from work and went to Pizza Hut with Nanny. I love Pizza Hut and Nanny.
Aunty Chris and uncle Ian came round Friday afternoon to see me, but I got all shy and clingy. It was time to go and get mum as well so they didn’t stay long and I wouldn’t let dad go on his own. I don’t know what came over me really, I think I’m allowed to be a little bit difficult from time to time. As I keep telling mum and dad, ‘I am little’.
For once we didn’t have anything planned for Saturday and we were able to have a bit of a lie in. We were all in bed having a lovely wrestle under the covers until I accidently bit mum on the nose….oh dear. It bled a bit and looked really sore. Sorry mum, didn’t mean it!
Another milestone, I no longer sleep in a cot!

Dad changed it into a bed, as soon as it was ready I hopped in with a book, just like mum!
In the afternoon Owen, Andy, Chris, Katie, Nick, Carol and Abi came around to watch some football or another. Great, I get to make fuss of Abi. Dad fired up the barbecue even though the weather was horrible and my bacon butty flew away in the wind!
Sunday was an early start. They had been going on about seeing the Fimbles for some time and I just humoured them as I didn’t know what on earth they were going on about…..

We went to a place called the Hexagon in Reading. There were loads of other little ones around and it all seemed very exciting but I still didn’t really know why.

We went into a big room with lots of seats and sat down:

Then the lights went down and a lady came out on the stage singing and dancing, she scared the life out of me and I soon leapt from my booster seat on my own seat onto mums lap. After this rather abrupt start I soon warmed to the whole thing and by the time Roly Mo and Rockit appeared I was loving it. Then the Fimbles themselves appeared, they were really big (even bigger than Dad) and they sang and danced and played games. I even joined in with the dancing myself at the end, in the aisle between the seats. So now I’ve been to the theatre too!
Monday afternoon dad and I had ‘Noisy mower’ races in the garden. I beat him easily as his mower needed emptying of grass quite often, whereas mine didn’t. My mower talks as well, Dad’s just makes a load of noise. He even let me help him cook the dinner...Lasagne! I got to pour all the sloppy ingredients into the pan and stir it up with a big wooden spoon. I think he thought i'd eat it if I helped to make it but that was never going to work, it was still pasta after all!
I was full of beans this morning, mum asked me if I had ants in my pants while she was trying to get me dressed but I told her I had snakes in my pants! She though that was really funny.
We went to the local park again this afternoon, and although Alastair wasn’t there this time I had another lad to play with. I think I was a little older than him so I got to show him the ropes a bit which I liked. We even got a wave from the digger driver man from the building site, a real life Bob the Builder!
Mum says my talking is coming on really nicely at the moment, so I made the most of it after tea by asking ‘Can I have another piece of cake please’ and pulling my best begging face…it worked a treat and I got another (albeit very slender) piece of coffee cake!
Tonight was also parent’s evening at Nursery. Mum and Dad had to go and see Josie, my latest in a long line of favourite nursery ladies. She told them I was a joy to have around and that I’d settled in really nicely to my new room. I think they liked that.
Just to keep you up to date on the bed situation, I’ve slept well every night and haven’t fallen out yet. Although mum did have to swing my legs back onto the mattress after she found me slowly sliding on to the floor late at night.
Okay, that’s about it for this week, there’ll be no update next week as we’re off on our holidays (well it’s been a while). By all accounts we’re going on an aeroplane and everything, so that should be good!
