My Grandad Gordon can do magic ! ! !

Saturday, 31 March 2007

We have had a very very busy day today. We got up early and headed into town for a town day. Our first stop was to see Paula, our midwife. Everything is going great with our new baby, she is growing well and fast. Paula said she is a big baby. Mummy said bugger. Paula didn't want to know what sex the new baby is, but Mummy let is slip, so now she does.

After that we brought a bakery lunch and went to the park so we could have lunch and a run around. I do like a trip to the park, so that was all good for me. After lunch we did a bit of shopping, we brought a box for me to keep all my craft stuff in. That's a good idea, I can never find anything!

Next we went to see my French Boys. There was only one there today, the other two were out and about with their Mummy. Luke slept through the whole visit, so we tipped the Lego on the floor and made things. If he was awake we wouldn't have been able to do that because there are lots and lots of little pieces.

Our final stop for the day was to visit Gran and Grandad. We played there all afternoon and stayed for tea. In the pictures you can see that Grandad was showing us his magic toy, it is a spinning top and when you spin it properly it raises up into the air. It was very very cool, but I couldn't make it go (neither could Gran).

We went to the park for lunch today . . .

I ate my lunch while I was running around. Little pies taste great when they have been dragged though the dirt and bark chips.

You really should try it!

My Daddy is coming home today . . .

Friday, 30 March 2007

Finally, finally, finally my Daddy is coming home today! I have missed my Daddy terribly.

I am also very sick of having to go to another house while my Mummy goes to work. I had a terrible melt down this morning. I told Mummy I didn't want to go to Jo's house, I cried and cried and cried and hid under my blankets. I still had to go though. I was not happy. Luke was grumpy and Mummy was very upset because everyone else was very upset.

But anyway now my Daddy is coming home. He has passed all of his assessments for St John's (well done Daddy)! So he will be delighted. Mummy made a bed in the lounge for Luke and I so we can stay up and wait for Daddy. I hope he gets here soon . . .

What baby ? ? ?

They are still calling me the old baby.

I'm not a baby anymore.

They will have to stop calling me the old baby soon . . .

It's been a very busy day really . . .

We had a terrible night around here last night. That bad old baby woke me up after 3am, how very rude! Because Mummy was up and changing him and getting him a bot I scored one as well! At first I was delighted about this turn of events (I haven't managed to score a night bot for AGES)! But then I had a huge coughing fit and threw up all through my bed. GROSS!!!!!!! It was very very disgusting, and I was very very distressed. Mummy moved me into the Daddy bed, but I only wanted to be in the Mummy bed. I was awake at 4.30. I didn't wake up until quarter to eight this morning, and we had to be out the door at 8, what a rush!

We went into town today with Jo, Bailey and Bailey's Daddy. We had lunch at McDonald's and then I went to Kindy. This the first time in a couple of weeks that I have been three times in one week. I was coughing and coughing and Aunty Trina said to me 'catch that cough buddy', that's funny I haven't heard that before.

This afternoon Mummy downloaded a game onto the computer that is a card game for little girls, it is a matching one. She also turned all the pictures that you have to find into pictures of Luke and I. I am very very good at that game.

Time to break out the winter jammies . . .

It's getting pretty cold around here in the evenings, a boy needs to be warm.

I had a terrible nights sleep last night, I woke at 3 am soaking wet, so I woke Mummy up and she changed everything for me. I was a lot more comfortable after that.

But I was very grumpy about being woken up - I didn't go back to sleep until after 4. I have been very tired today.

When is it going to be Gracie day ? ? ?

Wednesday, 28 March 2007

We went back to Jo's house today, we only have two more days of going there because my Daddy is going to be home on Friday. I am looking forward to seeing my Daddy, I have really really missed him.

This afternoon when we got home Mummy put the toddler keys programme on the computer that Uncle Lee was talking about on his blog. I love the toddler keys, Luke and I have both been drawing pictures. Also in one of the photos is a picture of the boat that I made for Mummy at Kindy on Monday. I made most of it, but I did let Aunty Trina help a little bit.

Also this afternoon I was looking at the photo album. There was a photo of Mummy opening some presents. She said it was taken last year on Mother's Day. Mother's Day! I like the sound of that, when is it going to be Gracie Day? Mummy doesn't know, does anyone have any ideas?

How much fun can you have with an ice cream container. . .

A lot more than most people realise . . .

All things medical . . .

Tuesday, 27 March 2007

My Mummy didn't go to work today. She was a bit worried about me after yesterday and because of my terrible cough. I have had a great day with my Mummy. This morning we did the house work, then we went into Wakefield and had lunch at the bakery. Mummy and I sat outside and Luke slept in the car (he missed out again!)

After that we had to go to see the Doctor. She listened to my chest and said there is nothing major wrong with me. I told her I don't want any yucky and gooey medicine, just some nice medicine. I really really didn't want to go to see the Doctor, but it wasn't so bad - I think Luke got a worse deal than I did.

Next we stopped at my Kindy because Mummy wanted to talk to Aunty Trina about stuff. Aunty Trina told Mummy that I have a great time there, I have friends and play with lots of people, that I do lots of different activities. She also told Mummy she doesn't know where the mean parts are.

Our next stop was to the blood place so they could take some of Mummy's blood to check everything is okay with her and Kate. I watched, but I didn't want a needle in my arm.

Yesterday on my Daddy's St Johns training course he dissected bits of a pig! They did the lungs, heart and throat. I think I would like to dissect something. Now where is that old baby . . .

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwww ! ! !

We went to the see the Doctor today.

I was having a lovely time playing with the car keys when suddenly the Nurse stuck a needle in my arm!

Then she stuck one in my leg!

How very very rude.

Clowns and coughs . . .

Monday, 26 March 2007

I have had a mixed up day today. This morning Gran came to look after Luke and I. We went over to Mummy's school to watch Walnut the Clown. I liked Walnut the Clown (well I did for the first 45 minutes - then I got a bit bored). He was very funny, and he was also very clever because he knew how to make hats out of balloons!

After that Gran took Luke and I into town. Luke fell asleep on the way into town - so I had Gran all to myself for lunch. Nice.

I have a terrible cough at the moment, so I am not sleeping very well at night time. Mummy has been trying to get me to take some cough medicine, but I told her it is yucky and gooey and I don't want it. Today I told Gran I didn't want to go to Kindy because I didn't want the kids to see me coughing. I went to Kindy, but Gran stayed with me for a long time (for all the time actually). Luke stayed too. I told Mummy that the kiddies weren't mean to Luke because he didn't go to the mean parts.

I had a Nana nap on the couch when we got home. I was having a lovely nap but then that bad old baby took my plug and gave me the beats. That makes sleeping very very difficult.

I went to Kindy today . . .

When Gran and I took Gracie to Kindy today we ended up staying for the whole session. We stayed because Gracie out of sorts. I had a great time at Kindy, it was all good.

Pigs and chickens . . .

Sunday, 25 March 2007

We had a quiet start to the day. It has been a busy couple of weeks, with having to go to Jo's house, the wedding weekend and the general activity of the week. Mummy said we were going to take it easy this morning (something about being sore and tired - again!)

I have been playing with Luke this morning, we watched a bit of TV and then headed outside to play. I am still trying to figure out how to make my tree house. I tried to put it together with sellotape and that didn't work, so at the moment I am experimenting with a sand and water mixture to stick it all together. Mummy is not being helpful at all.

After lunch we went for a visit to see Saskia and Isaiah. They live even further into the county than we do, it took nearly 20 minutes to drive to their house. They live on a life style block (whatever that is). They have pigs and chickens and dogs. Isaiah's Daddy locked the dogs up though, they were a bit scary for me. We feed to pigs and I got to pat one of them, they weren't scary at all. Tarn they had heaps of chickens too, not just one! I didn't feed to chickens though.

I heard Mummy trying to give our black cat away. She doesn't like him anymore and said he is a little bastard. On Friday there was the incident with the rats tail. Then yesterday there was a whole rat with it's head bitten off under the clothes line. One of the big boys from next door came over and moved it for us. I don't know how much longer Henry is going to be around for!

On the way home Mummy brought me an ice block, but when we got home that bad old baby took it off me and finished it. I tried to take it back and he hit the roof! What a ratbag. I was a very kind big sister and let him have it. In fact I was a very very kind big sister and helped him to eat it.

We went to visit my friend today . . .

We went to visit my friend Isaiah today. He lives so far into the country that right before you get to his house the road turns into a gravel road! When we first got there I was sound asleep, and they didn't wake me up (again - I'm beginning to sense a bit of a pattern here).

Eventually when I did wake up I had a great time playing, it's always fun to play with all different toys. Also we went outside to feed the pigs and I got to wear my new gumboots.

I think Isaiah liked to look of my boots, he was playing with them and didn't want to give them to me. Then when I put them on my feet he tried to tip me over so he could have them back! His Mummy is going to look for some for him tomorrow.

Fun with Mia . . .

Saturday, 24 March 2007

We have been visiting two lots of people today. First up we went to see Gran and Grandad. They were waiting for us to turn up and put off going for their bike ride. All was good there, we had a cup of tea and Grandad even had some raspberries on the raspberry bushes! Nice.

After that we went into town so Mummy could have some blood tests, I was looking forward to seeing them put the needle in her arm (I'm like my Daddy I love all things medical), but the place had already closed. Mummy said some swear words (Daddy bad words). She was very grumpy, the form she had said they closed at 12, but they really closed at 11. She was very very cross. And I didn't get to see them stick a needle in her arm.

Next we went to Aunty Mary's house. We had some lunch there, then I played with Mia. Mia had lots of great ideas for games today. I took my till so we could play shops. Then Mia and I played hospitals! I was the patient and had a broken arm and Mia fixed me! She would make a very very good doctor I think.

I also saw a Monarch caterpillar today, they turn into butterflies you know. There is a tree at Mia's house that has lots of the caterpillars on it.

They also had a very very cool big shoes there, Joel, Mitchell and Mia made it themselves to enter into a competition at their school gala last week. Mia sat in the shoe and Joel and Mitch pull her on a trolley. They won a prize too, and so they should have it was great shoe!

This afternoon Mummy gave me a bucket of water to play with outside. I filled it up with sand and Luke and I have had a great time getting very very dirty. I told Mummy that we were playing Kindy teachers and Luke is Chantalle. Bugger I forgot I'm not supposed to tell her anything about Kindy!

Shops and sandpits . . .

We have been visiting today. First we went to see Gran and Grandad. I was lucky that I got to see them, I fell asleep on the way there and I don't think anybody was going to wake me up for the visit. How rude!

After that we went to see the Faulkner's (see when you are a family of five you are referred to by your last name, soon we will be the Mytton's). I had a great time there, Mummy disappeared somewhere, but that was fine because there was lots happening.

I was allowed to play shops with the girls. I also played in the sandpit. I love the sandpit at Aunty Mary's house. I found a spoon and a dinosaur. I tried to feed to dinosaur some sand, but I don't think he was to keen.

Old babies are pretty tricky . . .

Friday, 23 March 2007

We went back to Jo's house today. Everyone (meaning Luke and I slept until after 7.30 this morning, so it was a bit of a rush to get out the door. Mummy didn't give us any breakfast! That's okay though because Jo had lots of breakfast stuff.

Jo took us to the park today, I love going to the park! There was a little digger there doing some work, so Luke just sat in the buggy and watched, he didn't want to play on anything. Odd child. After school Mummy came to get us, she walked around to get us, so Luke and I came home in the buggy. Nice.

This afternoon I have been playing with Luke, I tried to put his new shoes on him to go outside. Babies are very very tricky to get dressed you know. While I was building a tree hut outside Tarn came for a visit. I show her how good I am at building tree huts. Maybe she will let me build one for her new baby.

She still didn't take Luke home with her though, it's starting to look like I'm stuck with him.

Just hanging out . . .

I like playing with the hose.

I can't turn it on though.

I might have to ask Gracie how to turn it on.

Mummy won't do it because there is a huge rats tail in the garden.

No grumpy Daddy, just a grumpy Mummy . . .

Thursday, 22 March 2007

We went to Jo's house again this morning. It is a bit odd really at the moment, there is no Daddy at home, just our Mummy. She is sore and tired and a bit grumpy (that's funny - we have lost a grumpy Daddy and gained a grumpy Mummy!) Also there is a lot of rushing around in the mornings at the moment, normally we don't go anywhere to early in the morning, but this week we are up and out the door by 8 o'clock.

We have spent all day playing at Jo's house. Today I took my Tiger suit and my red tunnel. I also left my making things box there on Tuesday, so I have been busy cutting things up and using the glue stick today.

When we got home with Mummy we went on a bear hunt outside, read some books and had a bath. I didn't want to eat my tea, so I had a can of fruit salad. Also I had some of Uncle Brenton and Aunty Donna's wedding cake. Nice.
