Tuesday 28th December 2010

Me and mummy went on the bus to the cowley road, Tom was working. I took my pushchair. I have been really grumpy and whingy today and yesterday. We got off of the bus and then went to one shop, when we had been there, we went to buy me a chocolate too. Then we got a bus to cowley centre, but we forgot to press the button so we missed the stop. We then got off of the bus and then walked back to another stop and in the end we went to town to meet Tom, he was finishing at 3. When we got to town, we walked around a little bit, we saw Voirrey and Glen and the Juanita and her mummy. We went into a shop where i could take my pushchair in the lift and then i went for a wee. When we went downstairs in the shop Tom was waiting for us. I was getting quite whingy by now. We went to a few shops and i was moaning quite a bit. We ended with going to Sainsburys, i was a bit rude to Tom, i started crying and mummy told me to say sorry. Mummy doesn't like it when i'm tired, she said that she is going to have to ask Nanny to make sure i go to bed early when i go there, cos i always come back grumpy and tired for her and Tom the next day. When we got home, i was much happier and ate all of my dinner. I had ice cream for pudding. Then it was bedtime, i had an early night. I was in bed just before 7 and at 8.30 i was still awake, i have got over tired, i finally fell asleep just before 9 so mummy is expecting a tired and grumpy me tomorrow too.

Photo's i took on Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2010

I took a picture of Mummy and Tom

This was meant to be a picture of Tom, ooops

I positioned my dolls so carefully ready for their photo to be taken

Echo in my cot just before she jumped out

I got my baby in her seat at the table and made her pose for a picture

Boxing Day 2010

Today we got ready in the morning and went to Nana's, we had her car, so it was easy to get there. We took all of the presents for them there too. When we got there, there were loads of presents for me again, i am so lucky. I gave everyone their presents too. I got a keyboard, walkie talkies, books, a necklace, underwear with kittens and dogs on, a dora watch and lots more. I didnt' take many pictures here, i forgot about my camera. I played with Kaamiel and with aunty Sam. Then i started taking lots of photos hehe. Daddy came to pick me up, i went to Nanny's with him. I didn't want to go there, but mummy said it would be nice for Nanny to see me. So i went. 

Christmas Day 2010

When i woke up, i laid in bed and shouted to mummy, she told me i could come into her room. She came in to my room and showed me on my door, i saw my stocking had lots of presents in it, i saw that santa had eaten his biscuits and the reindeer had taken some bites out of the carrots. The drinks were all gone too. I was so excited.I took my stocking in to mummy and Toms room and sat on the bed to open them. I couldnt' believe how many presents i had. After i had opened them all, i went for a wee and Tom and mummy got dressed to come in to the living room with me. Mummy told me that there were more in there too, from our friends and from her and Tom. I was excited again. We sat on the floor near the christmas tree, Tom also gave me the ones from his family too.

Echo wanted to help me unwrap my presents

I got ear muffs from Santa, i wore them to open my presents

Echo thought the cot i got from mummy and Tom is meant for her hehe

And my chair for my baby, she thought that was for her too

Tom opened his presents too

I liked opening my presents, i got so many. I got a camera :-) and things for my dolls, i got clothes, books, chocolates, puzzles, things for my bath, a jewellery box, a princess castle and lots more. Mummy got lots too and so did Tom. These are more photos of us opening them and our morning.

Boo liked the the gift bags

I got this from mummy and Tom, i liked being able to 'feed' my baby's at the table next to me

Boo liked laying in my bouncer that i got for my baby's

 We went for a walk to find a shop that was open so i could get batteries for my camera. We saw Voirrey and her boyfriend Glen. When we got home again, i was excited and wanted to play the games on my camera. I took a few photos but at first, was more interested in playing games. Then i started taking lots of photos too. We had christmas dinner, it was yummy, i had a cracker and then another and another. Tom and mummy had one each and i had the rest hehe. I was very tired after my busy day and went to sleep quite quickly.

Echo was all sleepy when i picked her up and put her in here, she just sat there and looked sooooooo cute

 

Friday 24th December 2010

I was excited today, its christmas eve, santa is coming tonight!! Mummy called me in to her room and she told me that i had a message from santa. I sat in her bed with her and Tom and she showed me the screen. Then Santa came on it, he was talking to ME!!! He knew my name, he knew what colour hair i have, what colour eyes, he had a photo of me in his special book. He also had a photo of me and Tom when we went to the Sealife centre and a photo of me when i dressed up all spotty for children in need at school. He showed me a picture of something i really want, its a camera, HE KNOWS WHAT I WANT!!!!!!!!! I was amazed. After that we got ready and went to pick up Nana's car. Tom went into town, cos he had to get some things for his family, they haven't been able to get out of their home because of the snow. Me and mummy went to Nana's, uncle Alex was there to give us the keys. We drove into town and picked Tom up. On the way to his family's house, Tom gave me a sausage roll, i was really hungry and it was really nice, i ate it all up, really fast. When we got to his family's house, we all went in. There was quite a bit of snow, but we were able to get in ok. I like going to Tom's family's. When i walked in, his grandad said 'hello princess' :-) I gave Julie (Tom's mummy) a present from me and mummy. We sat and Merry came in (one of their kittens) then Tom bought Pippin down too (another kitten) i played with them. I kept throwing things for them. Merry jumped up and caught one of them, she was like a dog! Then Julie went upstairs, she came down with Tom and they had a bag of things for me from Nicky (Tom's aunty) in there, there was a tub of dinosaurs and a drawing thing. You draw pictures and then turn it on and it lights up, you can make the lights flash and everything. Not long later, i started saying i wanted to go, mummy smiled and said do you mean you want to go cos you want to play with your new toys, i nodded hehe. We stayed there for a hour or two and i played with the cats the whole time. When it was time to go, i took the drawing thing out and took it for me to draw in the car. I said thank you and we left. In the car, all the way back to oxford, i didn't say a word, i was too busy drawing. We dropped Tom off, cos he had to work til 7. Then me and mummy went to sainsburys to get a few things for dinner tomorrow. We bought ice cream, orange juice, bread and lots of things. Then when we left, mummy said we were going to pick uncle Matt up from headington. We did, we took him home, cos we have Josh, Lola and Coen's christmas presents. When we got there, i took my drawing thing in and me and Lola drew together. We didnt' argue the whole time we were there. We were there for about an hour and a bit. Then it was time to go, cos they were having a bath and we had to get home, because Juanita is coming round with our christmas presents. When we got home, mummy went and got Juanitas present and then we waited. She came but couldnt' stay as she was in a rush. We gave her her present too. I had my dinner and then we had a shower together. When i got out of the shower, Tom was home :-D i had to wait for mummy to come out of the shower. Then we got things for santa ready, i found two biscuits for santa and a carrot for the reindeers. A glass of milk for santa and a bowl of water for santa. We put my stocking on my bedroom door. Mummy didnt read me a story, cos i had to go straight to sleep, as santa is coming tonight. When mummy checked on me, i was asleep in the same position she had left me in and had gone to sleep very fast.

Thursday 23rd December 2010

We went to the hospital today, i had to see Lucy, my speach therapist. We had Nana's car, so we didn't need to wait for a bus, which i liked. When we got there, Lucy didn't take very long to get there too, then we went into her room and chose a game. I played Tummy Ache with Lucy, i like that one. I had to say lots of words so we could play the game. Then we played Operation too, this time we concentrated on 'sh' words, there were ones like shoulder, shark, bush, brush.......i was quite good at saying them, but when i say some of them, i say sh..hark, sh..houlder, that is why i need to have another operation. Then we took Nana's car back to her house. We had to go to town, we got a big bus. Nana's slippers are at the shop now, so that is good, cos they weren't there on Tuesday when they should have been (its because it is snowing lots) We met Tom in town, he came with us to get the slippers and then we had to go to Tesco, i didn't want to go there, but i went anyway. On the way i was holding mummy and Tom's hand, its a good job i was cos i fell over and hurt my knee, i cried lots. Tom asked me if i thought Tesco sold chocolate, but my knee hurt so much not even that made me stop crying. Mummy gave me a cuddle and then we carried on walking. In Tesco, Tom found a box of chocolate christmas biscuits, he pointed them out to me and said look, do you think they have a snowman in, what else do you think is in there, i told him the other pictures. Then he asked me if i would like a box, i smiled at him and nodded. Tom bought them for me :-) when we left there, we went in to another shop, i liked this one, it has everything in. We went upstairs and i saw loads of things i wanted. Mummy told me i couldn't have any as it is christmas soon. I saw a hat, you put a cup either side and then using straws, you can drink from it, that looked really good. Then we went to WHSmiths and bought some wrapping paper. At the bus stop mummy let me have some of my biscuits, i had one of each shape. When we got on the bus, i asked if i could have one more, mummy let me, then i asked if i could have one more, i looked all cute and mummy said go on then, i asked again, looking extra cute hehe and i was allowed another one. Then mummy found some wotsits in her bag, so we swapped (mummy then wished we hadn't, when i opened them, i popped the bag and got quite messy, oooops) after eating them, i kept magicing Toms hand away and then his nose and then taking his nose and putting it on his head, then done the same to mummy. When we got home, we all had sandwiches, then Kayleigh came round with mine and mummy's presents. After that, mummy said we could wrap all of ours up, i was excited about that. I got it all in the living room, then mummy came in to help me. I kept getting cross at mummy, telling her i wont help her again, i said 'i'm not doing wrapping with you again, you just don't let me do it' mummy laughed. After we wrapped them all, we had dinner, i had sausage and mash, i ate it all (apart from the end bits) After dinner, Tom went for a shower and me and mummy put the lights that Tom had bought on the christmas tree, i liked doing that, i turned the lights out to see how pretty they looked.
When we were looking round the shops, Lucy, my speach therapist phoned and left mummy a message, it was to say that my operation has been provisionally booked for 22nd March next year 

Tuesday 21st December 2010

When we got up, i ate 4 weetabix!! I was very hungry. Then i had my two calendars and two biscuits. When mummy got up, i done the calendar on cbeebies, that is one where you click on the date and it plays something, or its a game to play. Mummy and Tom were making me laugh, they kept tickling each other, i took some pictures.

They were tickling each other lots

Awww how cute, looking in to each others eyes (they were getting ready to tickle again though hehe)

 

Tom had just realised that mummy had made his hair fuzzy hehe

So he fuzzed mummy's hair to get her back :)

 After that we went out to go to town. We walked to the bus stop, we had to get a big bus. We got to town and the ground was mushy and brown from where the snow has started to melt with all the cars and buses driving on it. We went to Marks and Spencers to pick Nana and Chris' christmas presents up, they weren't there :( the lady told mummy (who had ordered them to be delivered today) that they were not in and she can phone tomorrow to see if they are in. We walked round a few more shops, then went in to the covered market where there is a butchers, there was a pig and a wild boar hanging up, with some turkeys, i was asking lots of questions about them, mummy told me that the sausages i like and the ham is pig, i said i don't like them anymore. When mummy asked me why, i said cos its dirty (the pig hanging up looked a horrible brown colour) so mummy told me the pig i eat in sausages and ham is cleaned and not dirty, so i was fine then, and then it was time to come home cos we didn't need anymore things.

Monday 20th December 2010

When i woke up i saw Tom was home, yay :D i have missed him. He had to go to work this morning, so we got ready and left with him. We had to walk to the bus stop as the buses aren't coming down our road cos of the snow. When we got to the road where the buses were going to, Tom's bus was just coming, so he got on it straight away and we crossed the road and our bus was coming too. When we got off the bus, we went to one shop, got food that we needed and then went home again. The bus took ages to come, we were waiting for so long. At home, mummy told me that Nana is coming to pick our dirty washing up, cos our washing machine is frozen again, it always freezes when it is cold. Nana came upstairs and Boo and Echo wanted to say hello, Echo jumped up on her lap and then Nana realised that she had poo on her coat from Echo's paws, ooops. Mummy was laughing as she got her a wet wipe, cos Nana was saying ewwww ewwww. When Tom got home, mummy was just cooking me some boiled eggs, and after that i was going to make an angel to go on the christmas tree. I was very excited about this, i had to eat all of my dinner first though. When i had eaten it all, mummy told me i can have whatever i want on the tree, i chose to draw a Bertie (the camper van we used to have til Daddy took it) I drew it all by myself and mummy and Tom were very impressed with it. We got the tree out and me and mummy put the branches in and then the decorations on it (Tom fell asleep as he was very tired and had been at work all weekend and all day) I was excited and liked decorating the tree, i liked putting the Bertie on top too. Once it was finished, we stood it in the corner.

This is me putting decorations on the tree

This is the Bertie that i drew for the top of our christmas tree, it is the same colour as the one we had

Sunday 19th December 2010

I told mummy that i didn't want to go out today, cos yesterday when we had been building snow bear, my hands had got so cold and i had cried cos they were hurting. We had to go out though, cos mummy had to do some shopping. She told me that we could try and take my trolley out and see if that would go in the snow, it did :D yay. So mummy pulled me all the way to cowley centre (mummy was very tired when we got there, cos there was lots of snow and the trolley is heavy to pull with me in it too) we went to iceland and bought some food, i wasn't impressed though, cos there was no room for me to go in the trolley on the way home. Mummy explained that she couldnt' pull the trolley and carry the shopping so i would need to walk. I cried, whinged, screamed, cried some more for quite alot of the way home. Mummy was able to distract me for some of the time. When we got to the park near our house, we were walking through and there were people making snow angels, i didn't want to cos i was too cold. We were so nearly home now, i couldn't wait. When we got home, mummy put the trolley in the shed and we came upstairs and turned the heating on and got all warm. I got my duvet and pillow and watched charlie and the chocolate factory.

More photo's from Saturday 18th December (mummy couldnt' put them on for some reason)

i liked walking in the snow

Saturday 18th December 2010

Today when i woke up, there was snow everywhere :D i was really excited and told mummy i wanted to build a snow bear. Tom wasn't here when i woke up, i asked mummy where he is and she told me that he is working at the pub all weekend, i was sad at that, i miss him when he's not here :(
When we had had something to eat, mummy and me got wrapped up nice and warm and we were going to go to the shops, but when we got out side, mummy realised how deep it was, it was nearly over the top of my boots, so we just walked down our road a little for me to try and build. When we stopped, i tried making a snowball, the snow was too soft and wouldn't even make a snowball. I persevered and still nothing, it just wouldn't stick and make anything. I piled the snow up and made a snow bear, then told mummy i needed a stick for the arms, so she pointed to some sticks sticking out of the snow, i pulled them and then broke it in half and stuck it in my snow bear, he had arms, then i found a stick that had some green leaves at the end, that was going to be my snow bears hair. 

I was trying to roll a snowball (like you roll playdough)

scooping the snow up hoping it will stick this time, it didn't :-(

i was determined, i even pushed this ball round and round, didn't work though

the start of my snow bear (i cheated, there was a mound of snow already there hehe)

making him bigger and bigger :-)

patting the snow down, ready for him to get his arms and hair

 

 

Friday 17th December 2010

Yay it is my last day of term today :D yesterday we had a christmas party, i took biscuits in that me and mummy made together. Today i had christmas dinner, i only wanted it for the ice-cream pudding. When mummy picked me up i told her that i had eaten the sausages too, so that was good. When i looked at the door of my classroom, i saw mummy and she had my baby cousin, Kaamiel in her arms, i was so excited about going out to see them. I ran out to see them, i stroked his face and we went to mummys work. I asked where aunty Sam was and mummy told me that she is at her work. I saw aunty sam when we got in there, i went straight to her. Hayley was there too. After a little while, we had to go next door, to mummys room, cos Camille (a little girl mummy looks after) was getting tired. We went in there and when she was asleep, we all started tidying the room, it was very messy from the party. I liked helping, i helped with a little girl called Chloe, she is a lady who works with mummys little girl.

Sunday 12th December 2010

When Mummy picked me up from Nanny's house today, i was soooooooo excited, i was jumping up and down, i had remembered that we are going to the museum today. We got on the bus and i didn't stop talking all the way to town. When we got there, we went to the toilet first, cos i needed a wee. Then we went and bought Tom a bacon roll, i got a kit kat. Then we went and bought him a drink, i carried his bacon roll. Then we took it to his work. I asked Mummy if Tom was coming to the museum with us, Mummy said no, cos he has to work, i looked sad. So Mummy said that we will go another time and Tom will come with us too. That made me smile, lots. When we got near his work, i told Mummy, thats his work there. Tom was stood outside his work and i gave him his roll and Mummy gave him his drink. Then we went to wait for Hayley. When Hayley turned up, we went to a book shop to have a look round, cos we were still waiting for Collette and Evie. When we got back to WHSmiths, they were there. Evie was shy at first, so was i. We started walking to the museum. When we got there, Evie got out of her pushchair. We were very excited and we looked at all of the fish, the crocodile, the butterflies, everything. We then started walking off together, not talking to each other, but walking with each other. We liked the museum, we walked up lots of stairs and looked around up there too, Evie kept running off, so we walked round the top bit quickly. Then Mummy said if we went to Pitt Rivers museum, that is at the back of the dinosaur one, that me and Evie would have a torch each. We did that, we also got some clues, where we had to find snowflakes and then at the end, there was a small santa. We got a sticker for doing that. We walked around this one quite fast too. Mummy saw that Evie liked looking in drawers and remembered that in the other museum, there are drawers with lots of things in, for children to look at. So we gave the torches back and went back to the other one. We found the drawers, they were really good. They had things like butterflies, eggs, nests, dung beetles, they were all letters with the alphabet, so lots of drawers to look through. When we had finished, we walked to MacDonalds, me and Evie were really excited. When we got in there, we ordered our food and went upstairs to sit down. I was good and sat and ate my food, i didn't want my chips, but i ate all my burger. Evie got bored after her food, so we soon left. We said bye to Hayley, i kept making my toy from MacDonalds bite her bum, i laughed lots and lots at that. We got a bus with Collette and Evie and we sat together. We had to get off the bus before them. We went to get some chocolate and we went to see Aunty Sam and Kaamiel. Sam had a friend there, so i was shy and quiet. Mummy showed her a book about nails, cos that is what Mummy is buying her for Christmas. We stayed there for a couple of hours. I was shy and quiet all the time we were there.  At home, i started being a bit naughty for Mummy. Mummy says it is cos i had a late night at Nanny's, so i was tired. I went to bed at 7.30 and had a story, i was asleep very quickly.

Thursday 9th December 2010

Mummy just remembered that something did happen on this day, so that is why she is doing it after the 10th post. When it was my bedtime tonight, i was being naughty, playing up, cos it was a little past my bedtime and if i don't go to bed on time, i get grumpy. I was in my room, talking to mummy when i suddenly looked at mummy and told her that it wasn't boo that chewed echos whiskers off, it was me, i had cut them off. I started crying, lots. I then told her that i had also cut one side of boo's off too. Mummy told me that is very naughty, that they use them to see if they can fit in to spaces, so they might get stuck now. I knew it was naughty, cos it was a few weeks ago that i done it and have only just told mummy. Mummy and Tom thought Boo had done it, cos mummy cats do that to their kittens.

Friday 10th December 2010

After mummy picked me up from after school club yesterday ( i had been 'stage diving' ) she had told rachel that i like head banging, Rachel was excited about it and mummy told her that i could bring a cd in of Joe's band, Rachel said yes please.
This morning, i was very excited, taking Joe's cd in to school. Mummy wrote a post-it note on the cover, so that Rachel could see what one not to play, cos its got swearing in. I had breakfast at mummy's work, she put the cd on and i was headbanging as i ate my weetabix. Then when i had finished, i went and stood next to the cd player and done some more headbanging, one of the lady's that mummy works with came in, so i had to have the music turned down :-(
At after school club, i got to play the cd and do headbanging, there is a stage in the hall cos of christmas, so we were on there, headbanging and dancing to Joe's cd (Dedlok is what his band is called)

Sunday 5th December 2010

When mummy picked me up today from Nanny's house we went to put some petrol in the car and then took it back to Nana's house. When we got there, Nana and Chris were there, so we went inside for a little while. I played on my scooter and mummy had a cup of tea. When it was time to go, i got my coat on and we walked to the bus stop, i moaned most of the way there. Mummy asked me if i had had a late night, i said yes. When we got on the bus, we sat at the front together, i like sitting on the big bus. We got in to town and then went to buy Tom a roll, i got a kitkat. Then we went to a shop and bought him a magazine and then into another one to buy him some chocolate and a drink. I got a bottle of water. We went to Tom's work and gave him his things, he is working all day. I said hello to him and mummy and him had a kiss and cuddle then we left. When we left, mummy told me that we were going to go and look for a christmas present for Nana and Chris and then go home, i had to remind mummy that we needed to buy me some new shoes. We didn't go and buy presents in the end, we went and bought me some new shoes instead, i chose some purple boots, they have fluffy bits in, i really like them. On the way home, i put my new shoes on. Then we nearly got to cowley centre and mummy remembered that i needed a comic, cos i got all my stars on my star chart. So we had to get off. We went in to the pound shop and i bought a small christmas tree and some decorations, for my room. Then we went in to the shop to buy me a comic.
When we got home, i was excited about putting my tree up, i had to thread lace in the baubles and then i hung them up on my tree.

Saturday 4th December 2010

When i got up today, mummy reminded me that we are going to see Tom's family, i was excited about that. When we were ready to go, we all got in Nana's car (we are borrowing it for the weekend) and drove for ages, well it wasn't, but i thought it was. We had to drive really carefully when we got near them as they live in a village and it was quite snowy and icy there. Mummy started to slow down for a car and our car slipped across the road, luckily mummy was driving very slowly and the car didn't even want to come towards us anyway, silly car. I saw a small snowman at the side of the road too. When we got there, we all went inside, it was nice and warm inside. Tom's grandad and nan were there, in the living room and his cousin Ross too. Ross took me upstairs to show me the lizard that we took there last time we went there, it is really big now. Downstairs Tom showed me the two new kittens that his family have, they are really big now though, and Mery's tail is HUGE its bigger than Boo's tail. I liked playing with the kittens. Julie came down the stairs (Tom's mum) and i had a present to give her, to say thank you for the presents she bought me (a bag that i can colour, some decorations for me to decorate for our tree and an advent calander) I wrote her a letter and bought some chocolates. Mummy was very impressed with my letter, she wrote it on one piece of paper and i copied it on to the one next to it.

It says 'To Julie, Thank you for my bag, decorations and calendar. Love from Harriet xx'
I done some drawing there too, i kept finding lots of pencils in my bag and Julie got a table and a notebook out for me to draw on. Tom's aunty, Nicky came downstairs and gave me a doll, she told me that she doesn't have a name, so i will need to think of a name for her. I liked her. When it was time to go, we said bye bye and got back in Nana's car. I fell asleep in the car (so did Tom) and when i woke up, we were at Nanny's house, i am staying there tonight. I got out, and said bye to Tom. Uncle Brian and Aunty Wendy were there too. 

Sunday 28th November 2010

When we got up today, mummy told me that we are going for dinner. I was excited, i told mummy on Friday that i would like to go for dinner this weekend, cos Tom isn't working today and he normally does on a Sunday. We wrapped up very warm, cos it is frosty and cold. I didn't have my gloves, cos i don't know where they are again, but when we were in headington, Tom said lets go to Peacocks to have a look for some. Mummy found some pink ones and we went to buy them, but then Tom saw some pirate ones, i wanted them ones instead. Tom gave me a penny to buy them. I liked my new gloves and didn't want to take them off. When we got to the pub, i knew what i wanted straight away, mummy and Tom took ages to choose. There was a long queue that me and mummy waited in. I ate loads, but then got tired too. After dinner, we went in to town to have a look round, we found some boots for me, which mummy is going to get tomorrow when she gets paid. I had to walk up some stairs that you can see between, i didn't like it. On the way down, mummy had to be brave (she is very scared of heights) and hold my hand and pretend its not scary

Saturday 27th November 2010

When i got up, i was excited about decorating my bag. Mummy told me to have some breakfast first, so i ate it as fast as i could. Then mummy gave me my bag and the colouring pens and stickers. I sat in the living room for ages, decorating it and colouring it. I was really careful and stayed in the lines. I really like my bag. When i had finished, mummy told me that i could take it out with me as we had to go to cowley centre. I was starting to get a bit grumpy by now, cos i was tired. At cowley centre, we walked round some shops, i carried my bag with me, i took my tiger bottle out that Tom bought me yesterday. We bought some food and then went home. At home, Tom went to play on his game for a little while and i played in the living room til dinner was ready. Me and mummy shared a table, i liked that. I had mash potato and pie, i ate quite a lot. Tom had to go to work :-(

Friday 26th November 2010

When i got home today, Tom was there already. He had bought me a water bottle today when he was out with his family, it is pink with a tigers head. Inside there is a plastic bit that he told me i can put in the bottle to keep my water cold. I love it, was really excited to use it. Then he gave me a brown envelope and inside was some presents from Toms mum. There was a material bag that i can draw on and there are some stickers for me to stick on it too. Mummy told me that i can decorate it tomorrow morning. The other thing was some christmas decorations for me to decorate. Mummy told me that when my school holidays start, i can decorate them then, to hang on the christmas tree.

Saturday 20th November 2010

Considering i didn't get home and in bed til almost 9pm last night, i was still awake at 7am. I got up, i told mummy i didn't want her getting up too, i like it when she doesn't, cos it means i get to watch tv and snuggle the kittens. I called her when i wanted some breakfast and she came in and got me some breakfast. I had boulders (i like boulders mmmmmm) I shut the kittens in the kitchen whilst i was eating, so they didnt' try and drink my milk. A little while later, i went in to see mummy and Tom, mummy told me that we are going to cowley centre, i told her to stay in bed, cos i wanted to stay in. Mummy asked me why she had to stay in bed, i told her 'cos if you stay in bed, it means we have to stay in' mummy laughed. Then i went to play again. I went back to mummy and she said if we go to cowley centre, i can spend my penny's, i liked this. I ran to the living room to count my money.
We got a bus to cowley centre, i skipped and ran happily all the way. Mummy told Tom that she was surprised that i was so happy, as i hadn't had as much sleep as normal. He said the whinging will probably start later, mummy laughed and said oh it will. At cowley centre, just 10 minutes after Tom had said that, i started whinging. I was hungry. We went in to a shop so that i could spend my money, i chose a book, two teddy's and a bag of 'crap' is what mummy called it (it was a bag of plastic toys, goggly glasses- mummy did like these though, and just lots of things that no one else would have bought) I was very pleased with my new things. Mummy bought us all a sausage roll, then i was whinging about being thirsty. We ate our sausage rolls, then i chose a shop to go and buy a drink. Then when we were in there, i realised that they don't have a fridge, so started whinging again, cos i wanted a cold drink. Tom disappeared. We paid for the shopping, i had a drink from the shelf. When we got outside, Tom arrived just as we walked out, he had gone and bought me a cold bottle of water, i smiled. I drank it really fast. We then went to look for hair dye for mummy. We saw purple and blue, mummy got the blue one. We all got a chocolate in that shop too.
Then we went to look for food for dinner. We got a trolley, just so mummy could put the shopping in the trolley. We walked round for ages, then Tom came in (he had gone to another shop quickly) we chose sausages then, i wanted pork pies too. After we left there, we walked to the bus stop. I crouched down, mummy kicked me (gently, to knock me over) and i fell backwards, i laughed and told her to do it again. I done that about 6 times, it was funny. Then the last time, i just laid on my back, then decided it would be funny to lift my legs up and pretend to fart at Tom and mummy. This made me laugh quite alot.
At home, whilst mummy cooked dinner, i sat and played with my new toys for ages. Although i found that if i put the metal soldiers in a small beaker, with a lid, they made a good noise when i shook it. Tom loved it - not haha.
For dinner i had sausage, pork pie, mash potato, corn on the cob and brocoli. I take ages to eat, too busy talking. I'm not allowed the tv on anymore, cos all i do is watch that and don't eat. Now with the tv off, all i do is talk talk talk talk talk. It took me nearly an hour to eat, and i didn't even eat it all.
At bedtime, i was being cheeky, not listening to mummy. When i finally did, she came in and read me a story. I was asleep quite quickly after she finished reading it.

Friday 19th November 2010

When i woke up this morning, mummy told me that it was the day where i was going to be spotty at school. I got dressed, very fast, with my spotty top on, i was excited. Then mummy found a picture of someone on the internet that had their face painted like pudsey. Mummy painted my face and i sat really still. I had pink, orange, blue, green, yellow and red spots on the bandana that mummy painted on me. Then Tom got up and we went to the bus stop, all together. On the bus, i kept growling at mummy and Tom, thinking i was a fierce bear. Mark was driving the bus, he liked my face too. At mummy's work, she finished my hat for me, stapling my bandana on to it, to make it spotty. I put it all on together and mummy took a picture. At school. there were lots of people who had their faces painted and were wearing lots of spotty clothes, i gave my teacher a penny for dressing up.
When mummy picked me up, my face paint was still on, just about. As we left the school gate, mummy asked me if i would like to go and see Lily and Holly, i was excited and said yes. We went to tesco and mummy bought some wine and then we got on the bus, the big one. We had to get off and then walk. Mummy had to go in to the solicitors quickly, i played while she talked. Then we went to the petrol station and got some ketchup. We walked along a little stream to get to their house. When we got there, i was really shy at first. We had dinner, it was chicken dippers, chips, garlic bread, cucumber, tomatoes and yellow peppers. I tried everything, but only liked the garlic bread. Then Holly started playing peek-a-boo with me under the table and i started enjoying myself then, i went upstairs with Holly and Lily and i had a good time then, we were jumping on their mummy's bed and i liked doing that. When their daddy got home, it was 8pm and they were going to be going to bed, so me and mummy left to go home, cos i was getting tired too. We walked home, it wasn't too far. At home, i was asleep within about 5 minutes.

Thursday 18th November 2010

When mummy picked me up from school today, i was very tired, but we had to find spotty things, cos tomorrow at school i have to be spotty for children in need. We went to tesco, i really wanted some maltesers, i picked them up and mummy said no, i cried, then mummy walked away and said she was going, so i had to put them back. We went to a shop called boots then, cos tesco didn't have any spotty things. In boots i found a spotty bracelet and a spotty bandana. Then we left there and all the way to the next shop, i kept saying 'chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.......' we went in and there wasn't anything spotty, but i did get a bar of chocolate. On the bus, i ate it and i was soooooo tired that i fell asleep. I slept nearly all the way home and then mummy had to wake me up. I told her i couldnt' walk and i wanted her to carry me, she wouldnt' carry me off the bus, i stood still and she had to nearly drag me off the bus, cos she had 3 bags of mine and her own. I then held on to the chairs and she had to prise my fingers off so she could make me walk, sort of, off of the bus. When we got off, i was crying. She stood me down, spoke to me and i calmed down. Then she picked all my bags and her bag up and then me up too, i was heavy. We started walking and mummy said she couldn't see, i thought that was funny, cos mummy isn't tall enough to see over my head. Then we saw Tom coming towards us. I was still being a tired grumpy little girl then, but then mummy asked me if i wanted to walk on the wall and all of a sudden, i was awake. I walked on the wall and i was fine, but then at the end, i wanted to be carried again, so mummy said 'oh look, is that drain wobbly' so i ran off to see, then i jumped on all of them all the way home. Which is strange cos i was so tired a few minutes before.
At home, mummy found my Pudsey bear picture i need to colour in for school and then went to look for a headband for me to put some ears on. She came back with a white t-shirt, but no headband. I was allowed to draw spots on it, that was fun, i done dots at first, but Tom said it needed to be spots, so i drew spots, with mummy helping me to hold the t-shirt straight, cos it kept moving. I drew loads of them, then we coloured them in, mummy helped me. Mummy said that instead of my head band, i could use the gold cowboy hat that aunty Wendy bought me and put the spotty bandana on that instead, mummy showed me how, i liked that. I drew some ears and cut them out all by myself. I done red ones first, but then mummy showed me a picture of pudsey, he is yellow.
After we had finished, i had 3 cookies and then 2 yoghurts. Mummy and Tom kept laughing and i kept asking why they were laughing, mummy was tickling Tom and he was laughing lots, mummy ended up on the floor. Then i came over and tried licking Tom, with my yoghurt face, it was funny, he told me to lick mummy too, which i did. Then i licked Tom again, i liked that. Mummy told me it was bedtime, so we went to her bedroom and i chose some books (out of the ones that Tom bought yesterday) Then i went back in to the living room to say thank you to him, but i licked him, again and again. I laughed. He kept saying 'eurgh' which made me do it more. Then it was time for bed, i raced mummy to bed and i won, yes.
Mummy read me two books that Tom had bought for me, a spot one and one called Fred. I liked them. I read the others by myself. When mummy got out of the shower, i called her, 2 of the books Tom had got for me had gone down the side of my bed, mummy asked how and i told her they just did. So she had to pull my bed out and guess what she found, 3 of her books too, ooops.

Tuesday 16th November 2010

Well today on the way home from school, i kept telling mummy that i was hungry. Mummy told me that she didn't have anything for me, but i told her to look in her bag. Mummy found a Mars Bar, she bit the chocolate off of it, cos mummy doesn't like me having caramel. Then gave me the bottom bit, i said i liked it, so she got the other bit of mars bar and took the top off again. I ate both pieces and was quite happy to eat it, saying it was nice. Then, when i had finished, i said 'i need a drink, that chocolate is on my tongue' mummy got my drink out of my lunch box and gave it to me, i gulped down all of my water. I was feeling sick, i scraped my tongue, trying to get the chocolate off of my tongue. After i drank all of the water, i felt a bit better. We got off the bus not long after that. Whedn we got home, i ran to the kitchen and said 'i need a drink, that chocoate is still there' (mummy says it looked like i was going to be sick) i was crying lots, mummy went to give me more water, but then said have a cake instead, it will change the taste in your mouth. I ate the cake, and it did help. When i had calmed down, mummy asked me why i had said i liked it and eaten it all up, i said 'i don't know'

Sunday 14th November 2010

Today mummy reminded me that we are going to jambinos' to see ella and elliot. I was really excited, first we dropped tom off in town cos he had to work. Then we went to tesco to buy ella a present, cos we didn't see her for her birthday. I chose a princess jewellery box and some cute little puppies for her. I wrote my own name on the card and then surprised mummy by copying her name and ella's name, without dots, mummy was really really impressed with me and very proud!! When we were ready, we left nana's and walked to jambinos. We got there first and found a seat, then they got there, i ran off to play with ella, i was a bit shy at first, but then was my normal self, running and laughing. I had lots of fun. At the ball pit, there was a boy in there, he was throwing balls at me, in my face, i looked sad. Mummy came over and said to the boy 'stop that now, you do not throw balls at other children, if i see you do it again, i will go and get your mummy' he nodded, then his mummy  came over, she got cross with him and took him away. After we played for ages, i got hungry and ella had go to so mummy bought me a sandwich and we left. We got a lift in there car. We went to cowley centre and we bought pizza, which i said yes to. When we got home, mummy cooked it and we sat snuggled under the blanket, then i said 'i dont' like pizza' so i chose to have cereal. I had a bath and mummy used her special comb in my hair, that chased my knots away, so when i got out, there were no knots, i like that comb. Mummy read me the gruffalo story at bed time, tom bought it for her yesterday (mummy loves children books and has lost her copy of it)

Saturday 13th November 2010

Today when we got up, mummy told me that we were going to Nana's to get her car and then going out for the day, i moaned, saying i wanted to get a bus, mummy was surprised cos getting the bus means walking lots, something i hate doing. We got the bus, Joe was driving!!! That was good. I sat at the front, and mummy and Tom sat a few seats back. On the way, i kept turning round to talk to mummy and Tom. I asked mummy 'did you never know you can turn your head and keep your legs still' Then i told mummy to try it, she didn't want to she said. I kept talking to mummy and Tom all the way there. Then we got off and walked round some shops, i saw Santa's grotto in cowley centre, i showed mummy that there was two doors. After we had finished here, we went and got the bus to Nana's house. When we got there, straight away i said i was hungry, i'm always hungry when we go to Nana's house. Then it was time to go, we got in the car and drove to a pub, where we were going to have dinner. I chose beefburger, mash potato and corn on the cob. I ate quite a bit of it, but did leave some, so i didn't get any pudding. I liked being able to go to the toilet by myself, cos we were sat quite near it. But tom and mummy knew i hadn't washed my hands, so i had to go back in again. When we left there, we went to a shop to get me some water proof trousers and new wellies, they didn't have any. But i did get a ear warmer. It goes under my hats and keeps my ears warm, i chose blue, which surprised mummy cos there was pink and purple. After that, we went back to cowley centre and i was allowed to have some pennies to spend. I bought lots of books, i like books. Then we went in to another shop and i got a reindeer teddy too.

Monday 8th November 2010

On the way home on the bus today, there was a man with an eye patch on, i told mummy 'look, there is a real pirate' then i looked some more, then told mummy 'he doesn't have a parrot, thats a bit silly isn't it' i was very excited to tell tom when we got home.

Monday 1st November 2010

When i woke up today mummy reminded me that we are going to take my trolley to school, that was really exciting. We got ready (i was really good at getting ready, didn't moan once) and then mummy carried my trolley all the way down the stairs (its still in my room cos the council need to fix the shed after someone tried breaking into it, twice) then we were off, mummy got hot quite quick, so she put her coat behind me, so it was like a pillow and i had a big coat on, i liked going to school this way. It took mummy 40 minutes to walk, we went the same way that we did when i was on my bike. I even laid down and tried going to sleep in it.

Sunday 24th October 2010

I woke up all excited today, mummy told me yesterday that we can go to the park and i can practice on my new bike (no stabilisers) When tom went to work, we went on the bus to cowley centre to get some shopping, i didn't mind doing this cos i knew we were going to the park. When we got home, mummy cooked a yummy roast dinner, i don't like chicken, so just ate vegetables and pudding (yorkshire-but i call it pudding) i ate all my dinner (mainly cos mummy said i had to if i wanted to go to the park. We watched Racing Stripes too, it was funny, a zebra that thought he was a horse, i liked that.

Then we were ready to go, i started jumping and saying woohoo. I bought my bike in (it's still in my bedroom) and then got my cycle helmet on ready, mummy got my coat and her new camera and we were ready. Mummy had to carry the bike down the stairs as there are lots of them. When we got outside, i pushed my bike, i called it harry and said it was a boy, then changed my mind and wanted it to be a girl. On the way to the park, i kept laughing telling mummy that the peddles kept hitting my leg, it done it lots of times and mummy asked if i was sure i wanted to walk all the way to the park, i was sure. We carried on walking, the peddles kept hitting me, then i could see the park, we were nearly there. Mummy took a picture of me pushing my bike and then we were there :) when we got in the park, mummy held my bike still and let me climb on it, she held it while i put my feet on the peddles and then told me to peddle and steer, she held on to me as i moved. I kept going round in circles and then fell off, i got back on and done it again, still going in circles. Mummy told me to stop watching the people and to look ahead, i told her 'but they have a dog, look its so cute' so mummy had to tell me to look ahead otherwise i would keep going round in circles.  We laughed lots cos i kept going in circles, or i fell off or i just stopped peddling, it was a good job mummy never let me go. She did let me go for a few seconds twice and i got cross with her, but was also pleased that i had done it for a little time by myself. Mummy asked if i would like a break and go to the park to play, i did, cos it was really tiring all that cycling. I played on the swings and slide, and went up a rope ladder, got to the top and said 'mummy, i need your help, i can't get down, my thumb is scared' mummy laughed and said 'you're thumb?' i laughed and said 'silly me, i'm scared' so mummy helped me down. Then we noticed that it had got quite dark (it was 6pm) we decided to go home and try and ride my bike another day. On the way home, i was scared, i kept saying 'stay near me' (mummy was inches away from me anyway) it was really dark, but the street lights were on, so it wasn't too bad. When mummy asked me why i was scared, i said 'the cars are monsters, the motorbikes are ghosts and bikes are just bikes' mummy laughed at me and i laughed too. We got home and it was nice and warm at home, even though our heating isn't working still. I had milk and biscuits and then it was my bed time and i was very tired. Mummy read me a story and i fell asleep within 5 minutes of her finishing it for me.

Tuesday 19th October 2010

I went to school, just for a little while this morning and then mummy had to pick me up cos i had a hearing test at the hospital. We had to walk to the bus stop, which i only moaned at a little bit and then the bus didn't take very long to get there. When we got off of the bus, we rushed in to the hospital cos it was cold and we went up the lift. In the ENT bit in the hospital i went and played and mummy told the lady behind the desk that we were there. I like playing at the hospital (i go there quite a bit) a man came out and said my name, i heard him and we followed him down a corridor. We went in to a special room, when you shut the doors, it goes all quiet. Mummy sat very quietly and the man showed me some toys and i got to choose which ones i wanted to play with.  I chose the animals and the hoops. The man told me that i was going to hear a sound and when i did, i had to put a hoop on the stick. I listened and when i heard it, i put it straight on, he was very pleased with me. Then i had to wear special head phones, so only i can hear the sounds. I listened really carefully and i put a hoop on every time i heard a sound, the man kept saying well done harriet, every time i heard it. Then when we had done all the hoops, we chose to have all of the orange animals, i helped the man sort them out and then i had to listen again. Every time i heard a sound i had to make an animal jump in to the box. I heard all of the sounds and he said i had done really well. After i had put all of the animals in the box, the man went to get a special machine that he put in my ears, he pressed a button and said it would tickle a little bit, then we had a look and the machine drew a picture, i had a mountain for each ear. Then the man told us that we could go back to the waiting room and wait for my name to be called again. I skipped back to the waiting room and started playing in the play house, i made a friend with a little girl and we played until i heard my name again, we had to go and see a lady called miss lennox and lucy, my speech therapist was there too. Miss Lennox wanted to look in my ears, she put a special thing in my ear and had a look to see if i had glue ear, she saw that i had scars on my ears, from when i had grommets put in when i was 1. She told mummy that my ears were really good and that my hearing was very good too, that i wouldn't need to go back to see her for another year, which is the longest i haven't had to have a hearing test for  :-D although i do have to go back when i am 5 for an audit, which includes a hearing test.

I got a cake and a roll to eat on the bus and we went back to school, i told my teacher all about my hospital appointment.

Sunday 17th October 2010

Mummy came to get me this morning from aunty sams, i was still eating my toast and in my pyjamas (it was 11am) when i finised my toast we went to get a bus to cowley centre cos mummy said we were going to buy me some new trainers. (my trainers are falling apart and i've only had them for a couple of months) i wanted to get on a big bus, but a small one came. I did get on it, but i wasn't happy about it. When we got there, a lady measured my feet, i am a 11 and half. We looked for trainers, i saw some nice ones, that were all sparkly, mummy said no cos i need the rubber bit at the front, cos i crawl around the floor. We found some that we both liked and they had the rubber bit i need. Mummy put them on my feet and pointed to the mirror at the end. It was huge! i stood in front of it, spun around, then bent one leg, turned around again, looked from behind me, then looked from the front, then i walked away and back again, mummy called me a poser. I liked them shoes and wore them outside. We then went to look for some new clothes for me, i kept pointing to clothes that weren't very nice, saying i like them, then i laughed, mummy called me cheeky. We found some clothes, some trousers and tops. Then we saw some shoes, i found some with skulls and cross bones on, i tried them on and they fit me. We went to the fitting room and i got really excited, i have never tried clothes on in a shop before, i couldn't wait to take my clothes off. I stood and looked in the mirror and then chose a top to try on, when i had it on, i posed in the mirror, turning around, putting my hands on my hips. I didn't like that top, cos it was a little too tight, so i took it off, with help from mummy. I done the same with the other clothes, posing in the mirror for each one. I chose to keep 3 tops and 1 pair of trousers, we gave the others to the lady outside. On the way to the bus stop to get to Nana's i moaned all the way saying my legs hurt, i was tired, i wanted to go home. We got to the bus stop, it was really close then i stopped moaning. We sat at the top cos it was a big bus, yay. When we got to nana's i moaned again, cos i wanted a drink from a bottle from the shop, mummy said no and we went in to nana's i was being miserable, nana asked what was wrong and mummy told her. Then i started whinging and mummy said that if i just asked nicely, then she would have taken me, when i stopped whinging, i asked mummy if i could have a bottle of drink and she said yes. We went to the shop and i got a bottle of water and we got uncle alex and nana a chocolate each.

I was happy then. Mummy told me to show nana my new clothes, i got them from the bag and then went under the table to stand next to mummy and got changed, i didn't want nana to see. When i was dressed, i stood in front of nana and showed her, then i got changed again and showed her another top, and another, and then my new shoes. Nana liked them all. I talked and talked and talked, nonsense most of the time, then talked some more. I went in to see the cat, coop and her kitten, i said awww she is cute then sat and watched tv for a little while. Unlce alex came downstairs with alice, and kept moaning, he wanted food and wanted to know when nana was going to make some (nana didn't have any gas) so alex had to make something in the microwave, all he done was moan and moan (it was funny)

When we got home i ate boiled eggs and toast and was full up, i had a shower with mummy and got all wet, i didn't have my hair washed, i hate having my hair washed. At bed time, i had the story that father christmas gave me last year, then snuggled down in to my cosy blanket and mummy gave me a kiss night night

Saturday 16th October 2010

When i got up today, mummy told me that at lunch time we were going to go to someones house and pick a bike up for me (mummy found it on freecycle) i was really really excited.

I played with my farm, i wanted to put echo in the farm house but she kept running away (echo is bigger than the farm house) and then i kept calling mummy cos i wanted to play with my playdough. Mummy came in and said we were going now, so she got me dressed and i moaned cos i didn't want to walk. Then she told me that it was really close to our house, on the same road as the bus stop. I smiled lots then and got ready really speedy. We walked to the end of my road and then mummy told me to look for a 5 and a 2 on a door as the house number was 52. We looked and looked and then when we got past voirreys house, we found it just down the road from hers. I knocked on the door, we waited, then i rang the door bell, we waited, then i rang the doorbell, we waited, then i cried. Mummy said we would go to the shop and have a drink and wait a little while and try again in the minute, i wasn't happy about that and dragged my feet all the way to the shop. After our drink and chocolate, yum yum we went back to the house. As we got near it, i saw 2 ladies outside and when we got closer, the ladies went in to the house, i smiled a big smile, they turned around and saw us and asked if we had come for the bike, i nodded, lots. The lady bought the bike outside, it doesn't have stabilisers, wow, that is so exciting. I said thank you, very shyly and wheeled it home. I really wanted to ride it but i can't ride without stabilisers yet, so had to push it. When we got home, i wanted to show tom so i pushed it in to mummy and toms bedroom and said 'look tom' then wheeled it back out again (tom had a few seconds to look, i wanted to put it in my bedroom) The reason it is in the bedroom is cos a couple of weeks ago, some naughty men broke in to our shed and then the next day, they done it again so my bike and mummy's is in my bedroom til the council can fix the door.

After that mummy got my playdough out for me and i played with that, mummy came in to the living room and asked me if i would like pizza, i said no but then mummy said it would be delivered and i'd have my own box, i said yes then. I at nearly all of my pizza, i was hungry and then i had some of mummys chocolates that she got for her birthday.

Tom went out a little earlier than us cos he had to meet a friend in the pub, mummy took me to aunty sams house cos i was staying there over night, the first time i have stayed at aunty sams. I took my barbie suitcase with me. Mummy gave me a kiss bye and said she would see me in the morning.

When mummy got to the pub, she remembered 'boppy boppy' so sent aunty sam a text saying to ask me to do it, i was shy at first but then i showed aunty sam. I told aunty sam that when tom moves in we are going to have babies, one girl and one boy, i told aunty sam that you sneeze to get a baby out and that the baby was going to land on my bed of baby rabbits. (mummy thinks my imagination is very good)

Tuesday 15th October 2010

Today I had to take a teddy in to my school, mummy wasn't too sure if i really did or not, but she let me take it, just incase. I took one of my favourites, he is a cat called Harry. Tom bought him for me when i was a brave girl - when i had a camera put up my nose. I was very excited about taking Harry to school. I walked to the bus stop with mummy and Tom and we waited for our bus, we had to wait a little while as we missed one. The next bus was quite quiet though, so that was good. I looked after the bags and mummy and Tom sat on the seat next to me. I liked looking after all the bags. But then a lady got on the bus and sat next to me, there were loads of seats on the bus and she sat next to me. I sat there for a few minutes and then told mummy i wanted to go and sit next to her (i don't like sitting next to people i don't know on the bus) I sat on mummy's lap and put all the bags on the floor. When we got off the bus, (Tom stayed on cos he was going to see his family) we went to mummy's work (it's next to my school) I have to help mummy get the toys ready for the children, I have to tell her what to put out (mummy works in a nursery)

I have breakfast at mummy's work, i like doing that. Then mummy said quick quick, we're going to be late and we heard my school bell ring, so we had to run out and get to my school. I carried Harry all the way there, with a great big smile on my face. When i put my coat and lunch box away, i took Harry to my teacher and then mummy realised that it was the day to bring a teddy. I wrote my name on a sticky label to stick on Harry (i didn't want him to get lost)

When mummy picked me up from after school club, she asked me what i done at school today and i said 'nothing' (that was the end of that conversation) We had to run for our bus, we got on, phew. I had to sit next to a man who i didn't know, i didn't like that. He got off then, yay cos then mummy sat down next to me.

At home mummy cooked dinner and i ate loads, and didn't get up once, didn't moan, didn't say 'i don't like that' (mummy was surprised) after i ate my dinner, we walked to the bus stop with Tom cos he had to go to work tonight. I was all happy on the way to the bus stop and thought it was funny to walk in front of mummy and Tom, then stop and wiggle my bum at them, and for some reason, i called it 'boppy boppy' then i ran further away and done it again, i done that all the way down our road. Mummy and Tom laughed, mummy laughed at me so much she got a stitch. When we got closer to the bus stop, i started wiggling my bum and walked at the same time, it made my walk really funny. I needed a wee when we got there and mummy told me to go and do it round the corner, she watched me to make sure i didn't run and hide. When i do a wee outside, i bend right over cos i like watching my wee come out (mummy thinks i'm weird lol) Toms bus came and i ran over to him and gave him a cuddle, then i jumped on the bench and shouted him, i told him to watch me. When he sat down, i turned around and wiggled my bum again, Tom laughed.

At home, i had a shower and i didn't scream when mummy washed my hair, i didn't scream when she brushed it either (usually i scream so loud mummy says she's surprised i don't break the windows) then we got snacks (cookies) and cuddled up in my duvet on the sofa, cos mummy told me we could have a DVD night. I started watching Happy Feet but fell asleep after 15 minutes so mummy put me to bed.

Sunday 10th October 2010

Today mummy and tom picked me up from nanny's house, cos we are going out for the day, of mummy's birthday. I got in the car and said bye to nanny. Then we started driving. We went to tesco first, to buy things to eat and drink in the car. Then we were on our way, they wouldnt' tell me where we were going, said it was a surprise. It was quite a long drive, i fell asleep on the way. When i woke up, mummy said we were nearly there. She told me to look out of the window to see if i could see anything. Then she gave me a hint and then so did tom, i smiled, cos i knew it, but didn't say, then i could see it, we were at the sea side :-D i was so excited. Mummy told me that we were going to the sealife centre first, to see sharks and things that live in the sea. When we got there, we paid for the carpark and then went in, i got given a map, and there were numbers on it, that we had to look for, cos there were questions for me to answer on the way around. I was the leader (like i always am) and told mummy and tom the way to go. I was walking round really fast, only looked really quickly at the different sea creatures (mummy and tom didn't get chance to look at everything hehe) Even in the tunnel that you walk through, i looked, said yep, come on. Mummy says it was amazing, seeing turtles, fish and sharks swimming above your head, but i just wanted to find the next number. There was a water park bit there, tom asked me if i was going to go in it, i said no, then tom got hold of mummy and pulled her over to it and got mummy wet, that was funny. It looked like she had wee'd herself. I got a little bit wet, trying to save mummy. Then we found a small park, where i had to walk along balancing beams, i was quite good, but needed tom to help me with some of it too.

It took me a while to go in, but then didn't want to come out

running away from the waves

I liked the sealife centre, but was really looking forward to going to the seaside. We left there and then walked down to the seashore. When we first got down there, mummy took my shoes and socks off and rolled my trousers up. I walked towards the sea, then didn't want to go in, then did want to go in, then didn't. Finally i went in and liked it, but ran away from the waves as they came towards me. I done this a few times, i started being a bit of a whinge, saying i wanted mummy to come in with me, but she had trainers on, so she told me to go to her, then she would hold my hand. I was really grumpy. Then i cheared up, but only cos mummy told me that if i didn't, we would go back to the car. I got so wet that in the end, i just sat down in the sea, i liked that. It started getting cold so mummy said it would be a good idea to come out for a bit. We went up on to the path, which i was not happy about. Then walked along to go in to weymouth. We saw a big ice cream, mummy said that on the way back, i could get one. We looked for somewhere to eat but couldnt' find anywhere, so went back to the sealife centre, there was a pub there. We had food, i had sausage and mash, i was really hungry. On the way home, it was really dark, i went to sleep on the way home.

I told mummy that i wanted to stop using my bed guard today, cos i'm a big girl now, so she`s taken it off and she's put lots of pillows on the floor, just incase. (i didn't fall out, but did on the 3rd. I didn't believe mummy when she told me though.)

Monday 20th September 2010

When i got up today, i went in to the living room to see echo and boo. I looked everywhere and then went to tell mummy that i couldn't find echo. Mummy came in and looked too, normally echo runs up to us. Mummy looked behind sofas, under units, on top of things, everywhere, even in the bedrooms, even though echo isn't allowed in them. Tom got up too then, he looked everywhere too, mummy looked out of the window (we live two floors up in a flat) and then mummy went down stairs, i didn't know why, but she was checking to make sure echo hadn't jumped out and died. She didn't see echo on the ground, so came back up, we looked some more. We were trying to get boo to show us, but she just wanted cuddles. Then tom got his coat on and went outside. Me and mummy kept looking. Then the doorbell rang and tom was there, with echo on his shoulder. Echo had jumped out of the window and had been hiding the other side of a small flower box downstairs. Mummy looked at the small window that echo must have pushed open, then closed it and said we will never open it again. As soon as boo saw echo, she ran to the window sill that echo had jumped from, mummy and tom laughed, saying it was too late to show us now. Echo wasn't hurt, it was amazing that she was alive.
