In the garden

I have been feeling much better the last couple of days and even went to dagis on Thursday and Friday. Today I helped Mum and Dad in the garden. They are putting things away for the winter. First we had to clean the shed so that we could put the deck furniture in it, then we took up the carpet on the deck and took down the sun blinds. Then we had to move lots of wood into the garage. I helped by sitting on the wood so that it would not roll off. I enjoyed helping lots. It was lots of hard work, so I might just sleep in tomorrow morning and let daddy get the breakfast ready without me. Normally I have to get him up and guide him around the kitchen to make sure the correct things get done.

Feeling ill

I have been hot and feeling ill for the past few days. Mum and Dad haven't let me go to dagis. I have had to stay at home indoors with them or go to daddy's office. Hopefully tomorrow I can go to dagis again and play with the other children. At home the garden is covered in wood, nails, screws and other exciting things. All to do with the new roof mummy and daddy have put on the house! I am off my food at the moment, but I still like building blocks!

Building in the kitchen

After all the excitement of the weekend I just had to show mummy and daddy that I could have helped with the roof! I know how to use a screwdriver so I decided to show how good I was in the kitchen last night. It takes a bit of concentration and some skill, but I can do it almost as well as daddy.

Building

It has been a mega-exciting weekend! On Friday daddy came home from work and we all went straight to the car and drove away to visit mormor and morfar. Then on Saturday I hardly saw mummy and daddy at all! They popped in for coffee in the afternoon and then left me all evening and night and morning with mormor and morfar! I have never slept over without mummy or daddy before! It was the best and I did my best to sleep properly so that I can do it again soon. Then mormor and morfar drove me back home. When we got home, there was no roof on our house! Luckily some nice men put a new roof on before it got dark.

Helping to clean

Mummy and daddy need help with the cleaning. I am not sure why they prefer to do other things than clean when they have such lovely machines to help them. This one makes lots of noise and has a long trunk just like an elephant. The biggest problem is the things they place in the way. The wall and the table are big problems. The nights are getting colder and I have to wear my coat, hat and gloves when I go to dagis in the morning so that I don't get cold. Daddy wrapped up his Blue Gum Tree in white paper last night! Odd!

Building towers are fun

I thought it was finally time to show mummy and daddy that I could build towers. I made a few last night, but I enjoyed knocking them over much more. I also managed to find my Tomas the Tank Engine books that daddy had hidden behind a black board in the basement library. Today the weather was like in England. I got to drive to Dagis in my pram under lots of rain protection. The best of the day was that Mummy and Daddy both come to pick me up from Dagis today and I got to ride home on Mummy's bike. We also went to a paint shop and I came back with my own new paint-brush. I want to help with the painting.

I love ice-cream

Today mormor and morfar were still here when I woke up! Daddy and morfar spend most of the day sticking paper to the wall! Very weird, but adults often are. I had lots of fun doing serious play with mormor and mummy. We also went shopping and I got to drive a big supermarket car and eat a banana. After my mid-day nap, I had an ice-cream. I like ice-cream. This evening I had a long bath. I splashed lots and made the floor wet. Just as well as I thought it needed cleaning.

LIstening to noises on mummy's computer

One evening this week I managed to distract mummy by helping her with her computer. I got to go to bed a bit later than usual! I rewarded mummy by sleeping through the night without visiting mummy and daddy. Today mormor and morfar were here when I woke up. We are going to finish decorating today. I am good at painting so I hope that I am allowed to have my own wall that I can design all by myself.

Talking to grandpa

When I talk to grandpa I use the computer and a program called Skype. Daddy likes this program as it is so much cheaper than using a telephone. If was grandpa's birthday at the weekend and I got to eat some chocolate covered sweet thing to celebrate. I also go to talk to him. I wonder if he understood what I said to him. In the background you can see our new window! It is just like the old one. You can see the outside and not get out. Today there were men outside again and this time they were climbing down a hole and making lots of noise!

Rain in Manchester

I have just been looking at my summer videos and found this one! English children must have lots of fun with all the rain they have.

Design is my thing

Design is my thing! Yesterday evening I decided that it was time to try new materials and found this nice shiny stuff in the kitchen and experimented with making some new underwear. I think that together with my flare for modelling I can soon get a good job in Italy or France; all I need now is a good manager. Perhaps my Aunty Tamsin she is good at that sort of thing. Much better than daddy who just writes lots of boring papers and books!

Brown Belt

After watching Uncle Freddie in town last week and thinking about Cousin Lara and her black belt I started to train and as you can see I am so brilliant that I am already a brown belt! I am so excited about this that I forgot that I don't like potatoes and ate potato cakes at dagis today! I also helped daddy in the office this afternoon and socialised with my favourite linguistics students. There were suddenly back at uni and sitting where they always sat before the summer! Cool!

Monday blues!

Monday is a day when I have to work extra hard on making Mummy and Daddy get up and be happy! This morning I got them both out of bed before their alarm clock rang. I was so good at getting them into action that the dishwasher was emptied, the newspaper read and breakfast eaten in time for mummy and daddy to take me to dagis today. I hope that the paper comes back soon as I had such fun with it making lots of noise. It was the best.

Playing at home

There has been heaps of paper lying around at home and yesterday I discovered that you could build fun things with it! It was fun to make mummy lie on the floor and crawl under the paper with her! The paper made such lovely scrunching noises when I worked with it and when I walked on it. The weather was good yesterday as well and I got to go to the recycling point and help put lots of cartons into a big green metal box. I also pulled up some carrots and help daddy dig up some potatoes (not sure why as I don't like potatoes!). Today it is raining and the paper has disappeared.....

A busy week has left me tired

It was been a busy week. I have to get up early and leave for dagis at 7:30 as I have to be there by 7:45 if I am going to have breakfast. I had breakfast at dagis four days this week. We have porridge. I like porridge at dagis, but pretend not to like it when daddy tries to give it to me at home. I have got a little cold from dagis and given it to mummy. This morning I got daddy up to turn the tv on and then I sat on the sofa under the new blanket daddy and I bought mummy for her birthday. It has lots of pictures of reindeer on it.
