Sledge fun

Today the council closed my school. Mummy says school has never been closed by snow since Marcel started school in 2002 so it must be cold. Mummy and Lots took Anna and I for a ride on our sledges. I even tried sledge surfing standing up - it was great fun. Afterwards we picked up Amaia and went by sledge to Granny and Pumpa's house where we had warm juice and played on Pumpa's organ. It was so much fun I didn't even miss school.

Mummy and Charlotte went to Tesco and brought Anna and I a pink Xmas tree home. I thought we should put blue baubles on it since it is pink. We're allowed to keep it in our room. It is really cool - just like our new ear muffs.

When I got home from school today Thomas had built me and the others an igloo. It was so big we all managed to fit inside even with Thomas too! I was so impressed I asked if I could sleep in it!

On Saturday Uncle Derek and Auntie Amanda invited us over to play and eat pizza. We had a great time and were very sad when we had to go home again. Anna was crying because she wanted to sleep with Gordy and I just kept telling everyone that I'd had the best day ever. It was just awesome.

It was my birthday last week and I got a Woody dressing-up suit from Derek and Amanda. It is so nice I have worn it every day since :-)

I woke up really early because I knew it was my birthday. However, Thomas saw me and sent me back up to bed! :-(
Fifteen minutes later he told me to come downstairs, where everybody had gathered around the dining table and were singing "Happy Birthday" to me. I got a lot of presents!

After school, Matthew, Ross B and Scott came home with me.

Thomas had baked a kagemand and a lagkage – we liked the sweets on the kagemand best, however!

Afterwards Granny and Pumpa came round with their present, and I went with Marcel and Charlotte to Papa's for dinner.

New Mr Tickle glasses

I got my new glasses today. It's just amazing to see what you can see with glasses on. I could see the sky and all round me. I could see all sorts of beautiful things. And they are so cool with Mr Tickle on the side. I tried to show Anna all the lovely Little Miss glasses in the shop too so she'd want a pair too. Mummy said not to because she might not need some. I think everyone should wear glasses though if you can see this much better with them.

Almost!

Mummy and Thomas have taken the stabilisers off my bike. I told them they should wait three weeks till I'm five but they are insisting now I'm a schoolboy I should try. I can ride it ok for a few seconds but whenever it feels too fast I jump off the back of my saddle to try to save myself. Unfortunately they keep making me get back on. I get the feeling they aren't going to give up hassling me till I get the hang of this :-(

Ouch

When I came home from school today Thomas showed me this photo and asked me who I thought it was. It looks a wee bit like Anna. Thomas said it was him when he was little. That's funny, I didn't know Thomas used to be a girl before he was a boy!

Today was my first real day at school. I got up early, had breakfast and put on my new uniform. Thomas made me a very special lunch with sandwiches, a tomato, a pepperami sausage, a baby bell cheese, cakes, crisps, a drinking yogurt and a napkin. Marcel, my sisters, Thomas and Mum all took me to school. I went in as soon as my teacher shouted on me because I was very excited. When I got back out at 3pm I told mum all about the lovely time I'd had. Marcel says I only have to go in for another 13 years before I am done with school!

I got some bubbles at Emma's party on Sunday. I have finally got the hang of blowing them myself - it's really good fun. Anna likes to burst them for me.

I'm going to sort things out!

Adults aren't very good at organising things.

For instance, Anna keeps asking me questions about Papa, but Papa never gets round to inviting her.

So the other day, when I heard Papa tooting his horn, I took Anna by the arm and said: "It's about time you and Papa met each other." Papa didn't look very happy to meet her, but I'm sure he'll learn to love her.

Another example: I've been saying for a long time that I would like to sleep in Granny and Pumpa's house, but nothing ever seemed to happen.

So yesterday I just picked up the phone, got Mum to dial their number, and I told them that it was about time they invited me round, which they of course did.

I like sorting things out. Perhaps I should invite Papa round for Christmas?

Spots

Playing 'world cup'
Originally uploaded by PhylB

Mummy took me to the hospital for my 6 monthly spot check-up today. My usual doctor, Dr Mealyea, was on holiday so I saw Dr Gulati instead and a visiting doctor from Ethiopia. Mummy was pleased to see someone new because she thinks it is always good for someone new to have a look at my sore face. These new doctors prescribed new cream for me so we'll need to wait and see how that goes. The cream is only licensed for kids over 12 so I have to use very little of it.
While they were discussing my face spots the doctor noticed I had also been treated with antihistamines for my mild allergies. The doctor asked what I was allergic to and mummy said she didn't know so he arranged an allergy test on the spot for milk, egg and grass as all of these things have given me rashes this summer. A nice nurse put bubbles all up my arm, pricked them and then wrote on my arm. All my allergy tests came back negative so I guess I'm just very sensitive.
I hope I am starting to grow out of these problems at last.

This is my big brother Marcel. He thinks he's really gorgeous. The other day after he went to the hairdresser he spent the rest of the afternoon smiling at himself in the mirror. Mummy kept laughing at him and calling him 'vain'. I wonder what that means!?

On Saturday Marcel and his friend Matthew played with us at water bombs. Gordy had never had a go of water bombs before. I think he quite enjoyed soaking both the big boys. We are very pleased that Granny bought us 250 of them! Hopefully we'll get to play with them a lot this year.

Yesterday was just brilliant. I got to go on a big wheel and a carousel and I got to play with spiders and lizards and snakes. We had a picnic too and I saw lots of roller coasters that I really fancied going on too but mummy said doing everything would just cost too much. I can't wait till we go back!

Today we got out my paddling pool for the first time this year. What fun I had jumping in and out the water first with Gordy and Anna all afternoon and then later in the evening with Emma. It's great summer is finally here and I'm getting to play in the garden all the time. It's just the best.
Mummy says if the weather stays nice she'll even take me to Culzean on Sunday with Gordy :-)

Mummy let me borrow her camera today and I took quite a few photos of her and my sisters. (My brother was at school but Lots was off because her school was being used for voting). I even took a nice photo of Thomas's lettuce. I enjoyed it so much mummy said I could get a camera of my own. I can't wait. I bet Pumpa will be pleased when he finds out how much I like taking photos.

Feeding Amaia

Originally uploaded by PhylB

Last week Thomas decided to start giving Amaia food because she was eating mummy's milk all the time. She had rice every day at first but after a few days she wanted to try vegetables. I asked mummy if I could feed her and she let me. Amaia liked me giving her food. She was very happy with her vegetables. Afterwards Anna tried to feed her too but she pushed the spoon in too far and that made Amaia cry so I took over again.

Something about a volcano

I am in France. I was meant to go home to play with my sisters yesterday but all I know is something is happening with a volcano that means I can't go home. I think my sisters must be missing me.

Easter bonnets

Last week at nursery my homework was to make myself an Easter hat. Mum and Charlotte helped me make this lovely red hat with rabbits, lambs, chicks, eggs and daffodils on it. I was very proud to wear it to school and my teacher was very pleased with me. As a prize for doing well, she gave me a pretty green egg with a little fluffy yellow chick inside.

Last week mummy's car was broken and Thomas was working so mummy took us five out for a walk in the snow to take some photos. Mummy always takes the photos so she's never in them. I asked if she wanted me to take a photo of her with Annabits and Teenytroll in the snow. She looked a bit scared to give me her nice camera in the snow but it was safe round my neck and I think I took a nice photo of them. I might want a camera like mummy when I am bigger.
