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

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.

When I came back from my holiday with papa, mummy gave me some sweeties that Granny and Pumpa had brought me back from their holidays. I was particularly proud to get chocolate tools like this saw.

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.

Pumpa took this lovely photo of me with my two wee sisters during the week. Aren't they cute? I am a very proud big brother :-)

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!
