: : : Here is the news for April : : :

Sunday 30th April
There's not going to be any news today.

Saturday 29th April
I helped Dad do the lawn mowering today. I held my fingers in my ears and walked around beside him. I also helped kick the ball out of the way several times. Sometimes I kicked it IN the way too, just to be extra helpful when I kicked it out of the way. We also played sleepy space rangers i nmy tent.

Dad took me out to a cafe in the afternoon. I failed in the use of my straw as I forgot about thestraw rule and tipped the cup up as well.

Friday 28th April
There is some news today but I have forgotten it.

Thursday 27th April
I managed to stay in Mum and Dad's bed last night by sneaking in very carefully and lying really really still. No one suspected anything until the very early morning by which time it was much too late to do anything about it. I win!

Peter told mum that I had pinched him today. It wasn't true though. I think Peter would have got away with it if he hadn't embellished the story so much. I apparently pinched him "right in the eye, in the black bit".

Wednesday 26th April
Oh there will be no news today.

Tuesday 25th April
I have been quite naughty today, so there won't be much news, but YE GODS I have enjoyed myself. I would almost go so far as to say that I have enjoyed myself.

Monday 24th April
There will be no news for me today. I spent the whole night wriggling around in Mum and Dad's bed and no one was very pleased.

Sunday 23rd April
We had such a busy day today. Dad got back just in time to take us to Ben's birthday party at stomps. I had a jam sandwich and a gingerbread man. There was also some lovely soft play action on the pirate ship.

Later on Mum took us all swimming. I drank about half the pool again but I did do a lot of very vigorous swimming using my little legs. I normally like to point my chin up out of the water so that water doesn't get in too far. Another favourite trick of mine is to use Dad as a spring board for some little jumps.

Saturday 22nd April
Today I missed Dad a little bit because he went to surprise Grandad on his birthday.

Friday 21st April
Mum is now mostly known as Elastigirl. Dad sometimes calls her super-mega-lightening babe but I always try to correct him. I also enjoyed playing Dad's new "zero point energy" game where he holds me above his head and I stay very still - it's just like in the incredibles.

Thursday 20th April
We went to Hatton AGAIN today. Apparently Dad splashed out for a years ticket hte last time we were at Hatton's country wolrd of extortion - 40p for animal food! FORTY PEE! Anyway - this time we went to the soft play area where I had a lovely time.

Wednesday 19th April
There will be no news today either. :(

Tuesday 18th April
There will be no news today.

Monday 17th April
Today we went to Hatton and we actually went inside the whole place. We went on the tractors, the roundabout (i drove the bus - as usual), I milked a wooden cow and then I held a guinea pig. We also went to the childrens show. That's when Dad disappeared on the pretence of looking after Paul.

Sunday 16th April
We played in the garden in the sunshine today. Dad got out his box of garden toys and we threw various items around on the lawn. I found two juggling clubs and pretended I was a train. Peter said we looked like funny clowns.

In the afternoon we went on a little journey by steam train. It wasn't very long but I got to hang my head out of the window as we went along and the driver blew his whistle especially for me. I beamed a beam of delight.

Saturday 15th April
Today I helped Dad make some bread. I did a lot of the adding flour to the big ball of dough that Dad rolls around. I also ate quite a bit of the dough.

We played outside again for a lot of the day and while Dad was mowing the lawn he found a frog in the garden which apparently had narrowly avoided being mowed. I poked it a couple of times to see if it would jump. It did.

Friday 14th April
Today was a daddy-stay-at-home day and we spent most of the day in the garden. Dad found our tent that we used to have in our old house and Peter and I used it as a base of operations for most of the day.

Thursday 13th April
Today was a day of impeccable behaviour. Mum had to go to the doctors because of her terrible sore throat. Peter was very well behaved. At least I did not kick him in the brain.

Wednesday 12th April
We had to ring Dad up today to tell him that we were being good. We weren't being very good because when I was talking to Dad, Peter was shouting in the back ground about how I had "kicked him IN THE BRAIN". which wasn't entirely true.

Tuesday 11th April
It's official - Peter and I are official super heroes. I'm not quite sure who I want ot be, but DASH seems to fit me quite well. Obviously Peter has to be called DOuble-Dash, as he can move twice as fast as I can. We are enjoying being incredible.

Monday 10th April
There will be no news today.

Sunday 9th April
Today we made bread with Dad. I did a bit of stirring and a lot of flour licking. Everytime Dad looked away I re-dipped my spoon into the flour. To make sure I didn't get found out I repeatedly asked Dad not to look at me. He kept looking though, so he kept seeing me eat flour.

Saturday 8th April
I was a lovely sunny day today so we were shoe horned out into the garden as early as possible. Dad called it a treat. To be fair I did do a lot of jumping up and down on the wet trampoline which splashed water all the way up to my ears. So at least I had some fun.

Friday 7th April
Today we went to a restaurant in the park and met Dad. I ordered a sandwich from the cafe servant and very carefully brushed all the cheese off all of the bread so that it was at least edible. I also broke some small pieces off and put them in a little napkin so that I could feed the ducks after Dad had gone back to work.

Thursday 6th April
Today I did a lot of outside jobs with Grandma. She helped me play in my little playground and in return I let her sit on my train.

Wednesday 5th April
I made some delicious cakes today with Mum. They had eggs on the top and chocolate. I gave one to dad when he came in from work, and although I assured him that the marks on the top which looked as if they might have been made by a small boy's tongue, I think he thought that *I* had been licking it a bit. I didn't like the egg though - I licked around that bit.

Tuesday 4th April
Today I have been a very lucky boy because Grandma bought me some sand. At the weekend Peter and I were forced to make PRETEND sandcastles without any sand at all (which I might add we did quite happily for some hours). Anyway now we have real sand in oue sandpit, and I have found that this makes sandcastles all the more fun. Mostly because NOW there are actual real sandcastles as opposed to invisible made up ones.

Monday 3rd April
Grandma is here to help today and I have had a lovely time with her. I have also been pretending to be MRS. NAZBAT as well as BUZZ LIGHTYEAR, as obviously they are one and the same person, except with a hat on. I missed Dad today because he had to go to work, but I did speak to him on the phone and I did let him dry me after bath time as a special treat.

Sunday 2nd April
Today we made a big beanstalk on a bit of paper and coloured in all the leaves. Dad wouldn't tell us what it was for until we had finished it though. It turned out to be a kind of "do what you're told" ladder. Peter said that it wasn't fair as now Mum and Dad hace a wa to measure our behaviour. I drew a tiny little version of me with extra long fingers. I'm currently on the 4th leaf.

Saturday 1st April
There will be no news today.
