: : : Here is the news for May : : :

Wednesday 31st May
I had a word with Dad this evening about ear stuff. "see. if you put your finger here (. then it's grim. BUT if you put your finger in your nose first - AND MIX IT - then it's fine." I'm not sure he was impressed.

Tuesday 30th May
We played in the garden with Grandma today.

Monday 29th May
Today there will be no news.

Sunday 27th May
Dad helped me play PING-PONG (or king-kong - or whatever it's called). He did a lot of the hand steering and I did most of the hitting - making sure only to hit with the red side of the bat.

Later on Peter and I spent hours playing with a big cardboard box - or "rocket" as we like to call it. Peter drew Pluto, Mars and OUR EARTH on the inside of the box and then told me that it would take NINE years to get to pluto in a rocket. That's a lot, but not as much as 14, which is my highest ever number.

Saturday 26th May
Today I wanted to do a lot of things that I wasn't allowed to do. One of the first ones was that I wanted to watch Fireman Sam at 6.00am. Clearly this was not allowed. I also wanted to climb up Dad's big ladder. This wasn't allowed either. Instead I just wobbled it while Dad was up it.

Later on I pretended to throw the "water" in Peter's cup that has fake water around the edges at Mum. THIS time it actually had some water in it.

Friday 26th May
I've been really grumbly today.

Thursday 25th May
I helped Dad mow the lawn today. I did all the raking. I did SOME of the raking anyway. I also did most of the swinging the rake around my head.

Wednesday 24th May
There's nothing to report.

Tuesday 23rd May
I've been really good today - not a single time out step for me. Just as well as I have been perfecting my cat impression. Cats do a lot of turning round when they are in Mum and Dad's bed.

Monday 22nd May
There is no news today - except for the fact that despite Dad's friends donating over $20.00 to my cause, there is still no talking cat.

Sunday 21st May
I have decided that what I really want around the house is a talking cat. He would brighten the place up actually.

I did some really good unassisted swimming today - chin up in the air and legs paddling wildly - I can really motor along.

Saturday 20th May
We we to Hatton soft play today and Peter really looked after me - he made sure I was OK and waited for me to catch up with him at the top of all the climby up bits. We also went down the big yellow slide together.

I spent some of the afternoon pretending to be a bear - buzz lightbear to be exact.

Friday 19th May
Jazzy came to play with me today and usually I get on very well with her, however today, when I was speaking to Dad on the phone, I had occasion to tell him how furious I was with her as she had been playing with my trains. I won't have it I tell you.

Thursday 18th May
I have mostly been very cross today.

Wednesday 17th May
There has been much ado today. Dad had to go away to London - I gave him a final warning about going on the bridge, in case it fell down and off he went in the NEW car. It's silver and very big. I have investigated all the various buttons and doors before he went out. I even had a little sit in it this morning before he drove off. He didn't come back until past bedtime.

Tuesday 16th May
I have discovered a big box of toys in Dad's office. There are some funny games and even a box of Thomas the Tank Engine puzzles. No one knows how they arrived. Not even Peter - I asked him.

Monday 15th May
There will be no news today.

Sunday 14th May
Grandad came to see us today and he was my best friend. I sat next to him on the sofa and made him rub my foot in a friendly way. We also went into the garden to play football. I was really good at kicking the ball straight to grandad's fet and he was absolutely hopeless. Nevermind - I'm sure that with practice he will be ok.

Saturday 13th May
I had a lovely long sleep last night, interrupted only by people trying to feed me. Sometimes they take great pains to keep me awake even if I've falled asleep. AND they are always trying to make me eat all at once. I'd much rather wake up every hour or so for a little snack.

Friday 12th May
Sleep.

Thursday 11th May
Eat.

Wednesday 10th May
I have been enjoying my baths a lot recently - all relaxing and calming - that's what baths are. The bit that really annoys me is the getting dry and dressed bit - it always takes far too long.

Tuesday 9th May
There will not be much news today as I was quite tantrumonius. Dad did give me a shower this evening instead of a bath. I requested that it was as cold as cold can be and then did a lot of shrieking. Lovely.

Monday 8th May
There was lots of raintoday so we had to do a lot of staying indoors, which is odd, because when its sunny we are allowed to go outside and get wet.

Sunday 7th May
Today Mama and Dada came to visit and they brought the best present ever with them. It's a Thomas the Tank Engine loader thing with a Harold the Helicopter. It all works by magic but I like to make it go round using my hands. There are 14 bits of coal that come with it, but they somehow all managed to roll away. I think Dad is going to find them with a broom.

We showed Mama and Dada our whole house because they had never seen it before. We also showed them our new baby. Mama said that everything was lovely.

Saturday 6th May
Today I have been quite grumpy. I got up very early and watched some Thomas with Dad and ever since then I have been a little bit cross.

Friday 5th May
Dad bought us a surprise home from work - it was a special mug that "looks" as if it's full of pink / green liquid. Actually though, the pink / green liquid is hidden away inside the actual mug - I think it's done by magic, my various investigations could not detect the actual method of the hiding. Anyway, Dad played a fantastic joke on us when he pretended to throw th eliquid at us. I jumped out of my seat, but I wasn't very amused.

Thursday 4th May
I had another special night of turning and twisting in Mum and Dad's bed. My plan generally is to try and rotate by at least 270 degrees every 15 minutes or so throughout the whole night. Mostly I find that the best place to sleep is lying across both sets of Mum and Dad's pillows.

Wednesday 3rd May
There's not a lot of news today. I was very good though.

Tuesday 2nd May
I helped Mum wash the car today and when I say washed I mean that everything, including me, got a thorough soaking. I don't seem to quite have the hang of actually throwing a bucket of water without the entire contents of the bucket going right up my nose. I happened time and time again too, and every single time I looked surprised.

Monday 1st May
Today we went to Hatton again as we now have special passes. First we went and held guinea pigs and then I looked at some pigs with Dad. After that it was bouncy castles and muddy socks and then it was the bouncy slide and WET muddy socks. After that it was a change of socks.

Later on we went to the soft play area where it was almost too full to have fun. I went down the big slide with Peter, but our weight difference did not make for a safe or scrape free ride.
