Visit to Nana & Granddad

On Monday Daddy took me swimming in the morning and at lunchtime we went to visit Nana and Granddad.

It was a lovely sunny day and I ran about in their big, big garden.  Granddad showed me how to dip the pond and found me some newts and a water boatman.  Granddad found a plant that some big buzzy bees were visiting and I was fascinated by them.  I actually tried to touch one.  There are bees in lots of my books but I hadn't seen a real one this close before.

I had a lovely time and was so tired when we went home that I fell asleep in the car after a few hundred meters.

Here are some shots from the day taken on Daddy's little Fuji X10 camera.

I went crazy running up and down the steps...just the right size for me

Here I am pointing at a big buzzy bee

The world is full of interesting stuff...this is a water boatman

I was quite tired after all that running and very content to have a quiet rest with granddad

Lovely March Sunday

It was a fab day again and in the morning I was at home helping Daddy hoover the house and then did some work in the garden.  We cleared some old plants away and raked weed and leaves from the pond.  I am ready for garden action now as I have a little set of garden tools.  I run outside at every opportunity now as I love it so much.

We went to Kingston Lacy in the afternoon and I went crazy, running around the grounds, chasing dogs and children and falling in the leaves.  I saw an old lady in an invalid scooter that had a football that looked exactly the same as mine.  Everyone thought it was very funny when I ran over and grabbed it off her moving scooter....well I thought it was mine!  Mummy and Daddy were impressed how observant I had been to see the ball on the undersea rack as the scooter went past!  I did get a bit cross when I had to hand it back.  I was very good and walked a long way.

This is my lovely gardening set

I had a snack attack most of the way around Kingston Lacy

I decided to take a break and sit in the grass to play with the leaves

I was wading through lots of leaves and fell over

I ate a scone and some of Mummy's cake

Here I am looking at a dog

...and here is the dog!

Mummy's Birthday 2012

Today was Mummy's birthday and it was great because I got some new books she bought me from TKMax yesterday!

Well, Mummy did ok because she got a card from me and a nice little tote bag which folds up tiny in its own case.  Daddy got her a lovely Le Creuset steel pan.

We all went to Horton in the morning as there are hundreds of sheep with all their small lambs in the fields near the tower.  I made lots of my animal noises and was quite fascinated but I don't understand why sheep run away when you try to say hello to them.

We then went to Parkstone and had a lovely Italian meal there in a restaurant recommended by Mummy's Italian night school friends.  It was yum and I should know because I kept eating Mummy's pasta.  The portions were very big too and we were all full.  I got a bit bored after about 1 1/2 hours and had to be let out of my chair.  I went to the window to watch the motor cars go by.  I then had a poopy doopy which hard to be changed so I didn't scare the other customers away!

Then we went to Honeybrook Farm.  It was a lovely sunny afternoon.  It only cost £5 to go in and the people were very nice.  As soon as we went in, Mummy and Daddy took their eye off the ball for a nanosecond and I stood in a big puddle in my shoes and nice jeans...oh dear!  It was fun but Mummy had to go to the car and get my wellies!  A farmer showed us children all the animals and we got to pet some of them.  There were piggies with babies, donkeys, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, horses, a rabbit, ferret, cat and dog.  I was very excited by it all and a bit worried to be honest when the cows or donkeys came too close as they are loud and very big.  I found some stones to play with and before leaving I went in the playhouses.  I absolutely loved it there and want to go again as much as possible!

I was running on overdrive as I only slept for a few minutes in the car and was up at six o' clock this morning.  Mummy then went to work and Daddy gave me a bath.  After only about 20 minutes of jumping about and laying on Daddy I fell asleep!

It was a fabulous day.  Daddy says I must be a proper boy as I stamp on sheep poopy doopy, jump in puddles and chase ducks!

Into March 2012

Well, time marches on again and here we are in March already....I'm getting old I think.

I'm continuing to grow quite dramatically and have apparently developed quite a character, being cute and sweet, but having a tendency toward impatience and a quick temper when I don't get what I want.  Mind you I was loving the girls at the church hall playgroup today.....Daddy said that was to be encouraged when he heard about it!

We had my Grandma over from Romania for just over a week and she really loved me.  In fact she would not leave me alone and wanted to play with me, bath me and take me out on my trike all the time.

I stayed with Nana and Granddad last Friday night because Mummy and Daddy went to a Tae Kwon-Do seminar in Weston Super Mare on Saturday.  I showed them what a monkey I can be at night...poor Nana.  They are very kind to me and let me visit when I need to, so I'm sorry if I'm not always a good boy.

Here are some recent photos Daddy has taken.  He has been a bit busy and got called out all night again last night after being in bed for 5 minutes...oh dear!  Still he had the energy to go with Mum and I to Moors Valley today, so I don't really mind!
