: : : Here is the news for February : : :

Tuesday 28th February
It's the end of the month and for some reason we had pancakes today. I was very enthusiastic about tossing them and although some ended up on the floor and some nearly ended up on my head (dad caught them before they did) I had a great itme. I wish we could have pancakes every single night of the week. They are a lot of fun although their sugar content is high. Maybe they would be best to have at lunch time - that's what I overheard Mum saying to Dad.

Monday 27th February
Today my friend H came to play at my house. He brought some gingerbread men that needed decorating with him and we did that. I hope no one noticed how much icing I ate. All a gingerbread man really needs is two eyes and a couple of buttons. Anyway - I ate him as soon as I had finished him so what difference does it make.

After the gingerbread men had been consumed we went and got all the music things out. H played the Accordian and I accompanied him on my harmonica. It wasn't quite the blues, but it was close enough.

Sunday 26th February
Today Dad seems to have our eye infection. I have noticed that hen he puts his own eye drops in that he doesn't do very much crying or shouting, just like he said he wouldn't last week when he was putting our eyedrops in.

Saturday 25th February
There was a surprise today. We had a cinema in our house. There was no popcorn, but we did have some toast and watch Wallace and Gromit. It was very good, because this time we didn't miss the first ten minutes like we did at the real cinema.

Friday 24th February
There's no news today either. I wasn't bad, it's just that no one can remember what happened.

Thursday 23rd February
Mum did a really difficult job for us this morning when she put together the road track all by herself. She even followed the instructions instead of just guessing like Dad normally does. I checked the diagrams and I'm fairly sure she got the whole thing exactly right. She was quite tired afterwards though, but then she has got a whole baby inside her tummy. I still periodically have a look down various relations mouths to check whether or not they have a baby as well. "wider.. wider... wiiiiider.... nope, no baby in there..."

Wednesday 22nd February
There will be no news today.

Tuesday 21st February
I'm on the "internet" today, whatever that is. I've had a look but it doesn't seem to have any pictures of Thomas or Percy on it so I'm sorry to say that I wasn't very interested. Dad assures me that it's both interesting and informative.

I've been doing som catching practice and I'm very good until the ball accidently hits me in the head. Then when it comes towards me I cover my face with my hands so the ball hits my hands. I osrt of have to foget about the catching bit at that point.

Monday 20th February
Today I have conjunctivitus and I don't like having my eyedrops at all. Possibly less than Peter does. It's hard to tell when you have your tiny eyes screwed so tightly shut and covered with your hands and your legs are flailing all around the place. I don't make as much noise though.

We went to a soft play area in the afternoon and I braved the big slide (with Dad firmly by my side). Mum said that she wouldn't come in. I thought that was because she might get stuck in some of the smaller areas.

Sunday 19th February
Peter has conjunctivitus and doesn't like having his eyedrops at all. I hope I don't get the "seeing disease".

Saturday 18th February
Another successful night, and this time I didn't even wake up all night either. Most people are very pleased with me.

Mum took us to the playground near the railway today, we had a lovely time, Dad couldn't come because he's doing something mysterious in the loft. When he's finished we were allowed in it. I thought it unimpressive.

Friday 17th February
Success! I am a genius, and a special prize came in the post this morning to prove it. It was a Stepney train - a *long* awaited Stepney. To cap it all I slept very soundly too.

Thursday 16th February
Just a quick note this evening to tell you that after more than a week of no need for nappy nights I am attempting a free run this evening. I shall let everyone know how it goes tomorrow. It's not usually the sort of thing I like to talk about though.

Wednesday 15th February
"Miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow miaow". "really?", "miaow". "verrrrry interesting". Dad may have invented the best game every with a toy cat. I listen whle it miows a secret. It's a variation on a popular game that I know.

Tuesday 14th February
I played a good bedtime game with Dad tonight. It was called "tum-drum". Here's how its played. Dad sticks his tummy out at varying heights. I pat / slap /hit his tummy as he's doing it. It makes a good noise and is very gratifying.

Monday 13th February
When Dad got home last night I was very excited. I stopped eating my tea and ran to the front door to welcome him home. "DAD! I HAVE MADE YOU A CARD!!". Mum told me that it was a secret, which I had forgotten. I whispered to Dad "dad, i have made you a card...". Much better.

Sunday 12th February
We went to a cafe today and I had a bottle of mago juice and a straw and a chocolate muffin. I'm sorry to say that I forgot the golden rule about bottles and straws and did a fair amount of tipping up as I was drinking which inevitably lead to mango juice on my jumper.

Saturday 11th February
There was not much sleep for me last night because I had a sore tummy. I have been telling everyone that I had one for a long time, but no one really believed me. But I did have one. Anyway, it was lucky that I woke up so early because Dad had to get up and go to work today. Something to do with moving to a new office I think. As long as I can still play THomas on his computer when I go there I don't really mind.

Friday 10th February
Today I was a bit of a stinker for most of the day, especially when i ran away in the shop and in the playground and when I shouted a lot at Peter's assembly.

Thursday 9th February
I went to the dentist with Mum today. I wasn't going to get looked at, but I was supposed to be getting used to having someone poke about in my mouth. Of course, on the way to the dentist I agreed to let the dentist do all kinds of looking and checking. However, upon my arrival I changed my mind.

Wednesday 8th February
In an outrageous and bold move Mum and Dad have put up a secret inpenetrable barrier across their bedroom door - its a sort of stairgate, but it's too high for me to climb over. I was very put out when I encountered it this morning and I had no choice but to go back to bed.

Tuesday 7th February
We had some visitors today and they were very impressed with my train collection and my train track that Peter drew for me on a really long bit of paper. It's the one with bridges and roads and a pond and EVERYTHING. They were so impressed that we had to give them a really big bit of paper of their own so that when they got home they could draw their own.

Monday 6th February
I had an exciting day today because Mum had to go to hospital and while she was there Dad looked after me at work. Instead of playing on his computer though we went to a really big building with lots of steps and played pool, just like in tom and jerry. There was even a little cue that was just my size. I had to put chalk on it too, so that I could play even better. Mostly I enjoyed rolling balls into the pockets, which Dad said wasn't quite the rules but it was fun anyway. Afterwards we went for ice cream and Dad pushed me around the building on a little trolley.

Sunday 5th February
Grandma came unexpectedly today which was very nice because it meant that I could show her and her friend Jill our new sofa. I demonstrated how comfortable it was by rolling around all over it.

Later on Dad took us all out for tea. I didn't eat any pizza but I did eat all of my chicken and potato wedges. As a reward I promised Dad that I would stay in my bed all night tonight. (just like last night).

Saturday 4th February
Today we have been really busy. Dad took Peter to his work to do some jobs. It seemed as if they mostly ate chocolate buttons, but I think Dad has mentioned that thats what he does at work mostly anyway.

Afterwards, and we werenearly too late to get there, we wwnt to see Wallace and Gromit and the were rabbit and the cinemama. I am almost sure that I enjoyed it although I couldn't wuite work out the plot. It was a little more complicated than usual. Still - I hope that we will get it on a dvd, then we can watch it enough times for me to get the gist.

Friday 3rd February
What a merry dance I lead. There was no sleep for anyone at all last night. My trick is to always leave my habits as a surprise - that way no one will know what to expect.

Thursday 2nd February
There has been a miracle. I slept for the whole of the night without getting up at all. Everyone is very pleased - Dad especially. As a reward he somehow managed tofind a nintendo ds hat at work which fits me perfectly. I am looking forward to receiving my ultimate reward for sleeping in my own bed - a stepney.

Wednesday 1st February
I'm pleased to report that since Dad sorted it out, monsters are not welcome in my bedroom. They had been keeping me awake on previous nights with their constant shenanigans and carry on. Dadhas since explained to me that they are not allowed into my room as they do not have tickets. It all seems reasonable to me.
