At the carwash

I helped Daddy wash the car at the weekend. It was so dirty it really did need both of us. Daddy wanted me to wear a pinny but as he wasn't wearing one I didn't see why I should have to. Besides, my trousers and jacket needed a wash of their own anyway.

After washing the car we went to Matthew's birthday party at the Almond Valley Heritage Centre. It was a lot of fun. I spent ages in the softplay area, even nipping back when the party room seemed a bit dull! We had a go on the trailer being pulled by the tractor around the farm and saw baa baa black sheep; some 2 week old lambs; a couple of little highland cows (Daddy's favourite) and lots of ducks. I then fell asleep on the way home and wouldn't properly wake up for ages, no matter how much Mummy and Daddy tried.

Spiderman

I wish mummy and daddy had a bigger chest of drawers - this one is no challenge. Do you think they'll agree to get me a climbing wall for my birthday?

I want to ride my tricycle

I went out on my trike at the weekend. It's been the first time I've been outside on it because of the weather and lack of daylight. It's a wee bit difficult but a push and hill are a good help. It was good fun. I hope I can go out on it a lot more.

I'm balancing!

I'm really good a balancing. I can balance on my daddy's knees extremely well. Daddy's very impressed. To be honest though, balancing's only half the fun. The real fun comes from jumping off once I've stood up. Luckily daddy always catches me, but if he doesn't I know he'll provide a soft landing...

That's my Elephant!

I found my Elephant on the stairs yesterday. Mummy and Daddy were surprised to hear me say "elephant". Frankly, so was I! It just kind of slipped out and surprised me so I had to repeat it a few times to make sure it was correct and prove that I could say it. You see it's be "efelant" for a very long time - since it stopped being "ebelope" in fact.

I can now say "elephant" or "efelant" whenever I please. Which is better than "hippomotamus" which I can no longer say since learning "hippopotamus".

Santa Stop Here!

It has been a little while since I made a blog entry because I have been so busy preparing for Christmas. I've seen Santa twice, once at the shopping centre and once when he came to my nursery Christmas party. So, I'm very excited about Christmas, and today daddy and I put up my "Santa Stop Here For Edan" sign so Santa will know where to find me. Mummy says he would know where to find me anyway because he is magic, but it's better to be safe than sorry I think! I am going to bed soon, but before I do, I have to put out a mince pie and a glass of milk for Santa, a carrot for the reindeer, and hang up my stocking. Then I think I'll have a nap for a couple of hours before I get up again.

Hodilay

Last week we went on hodilay to see Granny and Grandpa. It's always good when we go to see them. It's a long drive but I usually sleep most of the way and if I wake up mummy always gives me chocolate ;-)

I played golf with Granny. She is very good. She almost won!


We took the holiday because it was Daddy's birthday. It was late this year because of mummy - what else would be the reason? Anyway, as it was birthday related, we had to have cake! Daddy needed some help blowing the candles out so it was lucky for him that I was there!


And while we there we were lucky to be visited by my friend the red squirrel. It's a very cheeky beastie but it came along enough for us to get some photos and a wee shot of it on video. I like the squirrel.

We also saw Auntie Carol and Uncle Dave, who are saps that are really easy to con chocolate out of. But Auntie Carol has a superb new car that I managed to get my mucky shoes all over her leather seats before it was 1 day old! Serves her right for not getting a car with enough room for a baby seat.
