I think Grandad is hoping his investment will pay off when I become a Formula 1 Champion!
After another round of presents and christmas dinner at Nana and Grandad’s house we set off on our ritual trip to see Granny, Grandad, Gusdog, Nanny and Uncle Mike. I somehow managed to avoid any more photography but trust me there were plenty more presents and this year I was a pro at opening them. After all the travelling I finally had a good chance to test out all my new toys, wear my new Thomas jumper and eat more food on Boxing day.
I was very excited that my stocking had been filled while I slept. It was full of weird and wonderful things, and chocolates! (Although daddy had even stranger things in his!) It took me ages to work my way through everything but daddy will have to update you with photos because they are on his phone.
Mummy led the way downstairs but the main event was postponed temporarily when daddy decided to make dominoe sandwich of me falling down the stairs. It wasn’t the best start to Christmas but I soon forgot my pain when we opened the living room door and saw all the parcels waiting!
I think I was most excited about my Rory track, although it wasn’t a Scaletrix and it wasn’t remote control, but it did make me jump for joy!
In case you didn’t know, it’s been Christmas! I’ve had a very busy time getting ready, opening all my presents and visiting everyone, not to mention playing with all my new toys, so I just haven’t had time for any updates for a while. I guess it’s best to start at the beginning so here I am getting ready for Father Christmas. First of all I had to put my sign out, then just in case Santa missed it I sprinkled my magic reindeer dust that Father Christmas gave me. Seeing as it was getting dark already I thought I’d have a good look and listen for sleighbells coming even though Mummy was pretty sure he wouldn’t come until we were all asleep.
After a quick trip to the shops (so much for the last shopping trip being on Sunday) we went to the seafront to have a little walk, the sky was as black as night out to sea, thankfully that didn’t come our direction.

Anyway whilst daddy was getting all artistic I was quite happy trying to clear the snow off the wall 🙂
Its been so cold for so long we thought it best that we go and feed the ducks on their frozen pond. They looked really glad to see us especially the nasty geese, they were so keen Mummy had to go on crowd control!
After all the bread was gone (and it didn’t take long) we had a little walk round to try and burn off some energy but it was sooo cold we just went back to the car to get warmed up again.
Look who came to my other playgroup today!
We had a surprise guest at playgroup today. I am becoming an old hat at meeting him now and while some of my little friends were a bit dubious I was right in there chatting with my old mate! I sang him a song (Santa Claus is coming to town) and he gave me another present! However, I was not too impressed when I got it home and it was a BABY book! Oh well at least he got the chocolate right and I guess it is a busy time for him. I just hope he does a better job of the real Christmas, I took my opportunity to remind him again that I would like a yellow tow truck, like Grandad Dogs, and a new (blue) train track.
PS – 10 more sleeps!!
After our brief meeting in town by his castle in the week, I was very excited to go and have a proper chat with Father Christmas. After a couple of false starts we found his reindeer first and then had to wait a while in a queue but it was finally my turn. He knew my name and i told him where I live, good job I’ve learnt my address this week! When he asked what I would like for Christmas I told him a yellow tow truck (like Grandad dog’s), a train track and that my favourite was Octonauts… but I’m sure he already knew that really because he knows everything! I was very lucky and Santa gave me some magic dust to put on out step on Christmas Eve so Rudolph can find my house, a sticker and a certificate to prove I really met him AND a special chocolate box! Wow what a day it’s been, topped off by checking out all the christmas lights in town on the way to the Chinese and being allowed to stay up and see the start of the Xfactor!!
Will it ever end? To be honest I’m getting a bit sick of mummy dragging me out in this, I’d much rather be at home in the warm. Oh well, at least we have to wait in for the parcel man today. I’m hoping he won’t come too early! Poor mummy is off to dig the bin out now brrrrr…. could be worse Daddy’s gone to work again.
