Mummy and Daddy have been poorly AGAIN! I hope they’re better soon, it’s hard work being in charge.

Despite being pretty cloudy it was a very hot day today. Harry and Charlie came knocking again to see if I was playing out but I told them it’s not safe to play out when the workmen are there and anyway I was going out to see my friend Reuben. I had a good play with Reuben in his garden while we waited for his daddy to bring the car seat he had taken to work in his car back (It must be a daddy thing, my daddy had taken my shark hat with him in his car today too). Then we headed off to the seaside. We had a go in the playground, a picnic, a paddle, and a messy ice-cream competition! I think Reuben won the competition. After such a busy day, is it any wonder Mummy had to carry me in from the car?

Daddy started his new shifts today so he had to go to work on a Monday. Mummy took me to Preston park and I figured if I am brave enough to go on the zip wire, I would have a go on the big rope swing. I quite liked it until some of the bigger kids made it go too high, then I decided to stick with the seesaw.

After a good go in the playground we scooted round to the miniature train track and finally found a sign saying when it will be working. I was prepared to wait for the next train but Mummy said we had to come back another day – humph.
I think the trip to the park was just to soften me up because as soon as daddy got home we all went on a really boring trip to Ikea, the biggest shop in the world and all they bought was 3 lights and a laundry basket – yawn!

Today Mummy and Daddy had secret plans of going strawberry picking and to the ice cream factory but I had other plans! I woke them up bright and early at 4.30 being sick, after changing my bed and getting me back off to sleep I decided it was best to keep being sick every half hour or so until Daddy got up and took me downstairs. Once there we caught up on yesterdays qualifying and I made sure to keep daddy awake by being sick again every half hour or so.

Daddy also had to take my new bike back to Tesco and swap it for another one (which he had to put together again) because the peddles didn’t stop when I did.

All sorted out now just hope I feel better later on so I can ride it later.

Well you’d think so anyway… really it was Emily’s birthday and Mummy took me to her party back at Seaton Carew. She had a bouncy castle and party games. I won lots of sweets and a colouring set at pass the parcel. Emily wasn’t very impressed with having a party and ran and cried when we sang happy birthday, so Joshua blew her candles out for her. It was a very impressive Noddy cake.

When we got home daddy had a big surprise for me. No pictures today though, we’ll have to take some tomorrow, But daddy did a video!

This morning I built a model and told mummy it was The Angel of Hartlepool. Mummy asked did I mean Stockton but I said no it was Hartlepool and tootled off to make an Angel of Stockton too!
I’ve been playing with Reuben in the sunshine this afternoon. We bounced a bit too much on daddy’s handy work and broke the bouncy again – better get mummy stitching!

Lots going on today, Daddy had to go to work and Mummy said we had to stay in to wait for a window man. I settled down to play tiddlywinks which proved no mean feat on our new carpet! Luckily the man came fairly early and guess where Mummy said we were going for our first holiday activity??? Back to nursery! Crazy Mummy!
Turns out she was right and we were just in time for a special circle time with singing and some special presentations. Guess who was first up for the presentations!?! Mrs P said she wished me lots of luck and hoped I enjoyed my new school. I said I would!
Next up Mummy took me to the arcades. I’m sure there are cheaper ways to get a few sweets but we had fun I suppose. Then for a walk on the beach, not exactly like Granny and Grandad’s postcards of Skiathos but I enjoyed throwing stones in and running from the waves. Not as much as I enjoyed my fish and chips lunch though! Yummmeeeeee!!!

Well today was my last day at Seaton Carew Nursery School. Somehow between me and daddy we managed to keep it a secret from Mummy that today was fancy dress. I finally told her last night that I needed a dinosaur costume that turns into a shark. Well, I’m not totally unreasonable and I did say I’d settle for a shark. I even hleped Mummy out with the spotted belly a bit. I reckon she did pretty well all things considered!
Guess what Mrs Cooks came dressed as?? Only an Orca! We looked great together! I am going to miss Mrs Cooks but think I will enjoy my new school too.

Well biggest news and the main reason we have been so busy is we have moved house to a brand new estate. Here is our new house.

Well that didn’t take up the full year but I have been busy going to nursery too and growing of course, oh and did I mention Disney land?? Maybe I’ll save that for another post, told you it had been busy!
