"Now I can look like a king!"

Brita and Peter bought us all lots of presents from Denmark. They were all lovely but my very favourite present when I opened them was this beautiful silver coffee pot. I was so happy when I got it that I ran around the living room singing - "Now I can look like a king!"

A new piano

I got a nice red piano off Santa for Xmas. Mum bought one the same for Gordy. I wonder how she knew to get exactly the same thing...? When I turned mine on the lights flashed but there was no noise. Gordy's worked and it was great fun. Mum said she'd take mine back to the Early Learning Centre and swap it for one that worked. I am beginning to think there is something fishy in this Santa story if the ELC swaps his broken toys...
We went there on Saturday but they had no red pianos left. Mum was about to give up when they noticed they had grand pianos at £5 more so mum paid the difference and I now have a beautiful piano that works, even if I am a bit dubious about the guy in the red coat that brings toys that don't work...

Birthday cake

On Friday Bits was one. I helped Thomas make cake and then I helped Bits eat the cake. I think she really enjoyed it. She wasn't sure how to blow out her candle because she's never had a birthday before so I showed her how to.

Sparkly red paint

I just found the tiniest bottle of red paint. It was on the window ledge in mum's room. I opened it and painted the window red, then I painted my chin red and finally my arm. When mummy came in she shouted Léon, what's that smell? She didn't sound very pleased so I closed the curtains and pulled down my sleeves. Strangely though, she still seemed to realize I'd been painting. She threw open the curtains and shouted: What did you do with my nail varnish? Hmm I wonder what nail varnish is, at least she didn't complain about me painting, huh?...

Today I was a very clever boy. Because I was smallest, well apart from Anna, I had to go under the floor and put some wires in a new socket. I was awfully good at electricity!

Blue wolf

Under my bed there is sometimes wolves. The wolves are blue. Maybe there are ghosts under there too and sometimes there are monsters. I don't like to come out of my room till someone comes to get me in case all those scary things under my bed frighten me.
Thomas made me an advent calendar with presents in a drawer downstairs. Yesterday and Monday I waited till Charlotte gave me my presents but today I decided that even though there were maybe vampires under my bed with the wolves and the monsters and the ghosts and maybe they were bad ones, I would go downstairs and find my present myself.
