Frogs

Thomas can be quite strange at times. For the last week he's been taking out little packets he bought at B&Q that are full of seeds to plant. For some reason Thomas thinks the seeds are frogs. He tells me to dig holes in the ground and put in frogs, he tells me to fill trays with soil and bury the frogs. I know they aren't frogs but it seems to keep Thomas happy if I play along and call them frogs so he understands... whatever!

Blue monkey killer

Mummy and Thomas are moving their bedroom into our old dining room. Granny and Pumpa came to decorate. When Mummy took off the skirting she got a big shock when a mouse came out from a hole under the floor. If we are going to sleep here, she said, we need to get some mouse killer first. We went to B&Q and we went to a bit I've never seen before - they had mouse killer and rat killer and slug killer and spider and wasp killer. There were lots of killer bottles. I noticed though that there was no Blue monkey killer. I shouted to mummy - Mummy why don't they sell Blue monkey kille? All the ladies and men in the shop started to laugh and speak to mum saying I was a very nice boy. I'm not sure why they found that so funny because there really wasn't any Blue monkey killer.

I'm not sure I really understand adults. Last week Thomas told me to be careful of an old, green potato because it was poisonous. Now he tells me he's all excited because he's going to poison mummy on Saturday somewhere in Glasgow. I told him to be careful and cut off the green bits but he just wandered off muttering something about giving eachother a new ring. Weird...

I woke up early this morning to find it had SNOWED! Mum didn't let me go out till about 9am. It was torture. And once we got out it started snowing so heavily we had to come back in for 20 minutes. Once we got out I helped mum build this snowman and I got him a carrot out the fridge for his nose. Some cars were blocking the road so we couldn't go to nursery. When Charlotte came home we made two more snowmen but mum made us come in when it got dark. It was very cold but great fun. Even Bits came out and watched.

Hide and seek

Today Gordy and I went to Granny's house. We decided it would be fun to play hide and seek. We both ran upstairs and into the back bedroom. I climbed under the duvet on the big bed, Gordy then climbed under the duvet beside me. We'd found a great hiding place and hiding together was fun. I waited for ages for Gordy to find me and he lay quietly beside me waiting for me to find him. What a fun game!

I have been off nursery for a whole week. I was hot and vomiting all last weekend. Mum had to get up and look after me during the night on both Friday and Saturday because I was so hot. She thought I had a vomiting bug but when we went to see the doctor on Monday, it turned out both Bits and I needed antibiotics. She had a chest infection and I had a throat infection... or was it the other way round? On Monday night mum had to stay up again because Bits was too hot. I slept for a few days and even yesterday I was still getting up very late - nearly 11am. Today I went back to nursery because I was much better.
Yesterday Gordy came to see me. I hadn't seen him for 2 weeks and I wondered why. He looked funny when he came over... all crusty and spotty. It turns out he's been off nursery too with chicken pox. I'll be ok because I had that last year but Anna might still get it off him because she was playing with him 2 days before he got his spots.

Today Lots and I made scones and afterwards we had a little tea party. It was just like a scone picnic only indoors. I liked it very much. We had to hurry and choose our scones because Bits had already bitten 3 of them while Thomas was making the coffees!
