Well, here I am finally.  Been a while so I have a lot to catch up on. 

I’ve been a busy girl at nursery all week.  This week we’ve been learning about family.  We have a Family Tree at nursery and have put up pictures of our families.  Most of my family is in Scotland which is quite far away so it’s nice to look at pictures and speak to them on the phone.  We’ve also been painting lots of pictures and playing out a lot.  James hit me in the face with a shovel.  Well, at least I told Mummy and Daddy that but I do get quite mixed up so even I don’t know if it’s true.  I do know it’s true I had a proper fight with Isabelle one day but I can’t remember what it was about.  Oh well, it’s all water under the bridge now. 

Pauly was here during the week but he’s gone now.  Mummy says he’s gone to London to find gainful employment, whatever that is.  To say goodbye, Mummy and Daddy took him to a restaurant that specialises in serving Meat.  I’ve given that a capital ‘M’ because Daddy and Pauly spoke about it in a reverential tone and you could just tell they couldn’t wait to stuff themselves so full that they got the meat sweats.  I think they had fun (and made themselves sick with overeating, the gluttonous savages) but I missed out because I was sleeping.  I know Olga came to look after me.  She should have brought Maya, I’d have woken up to play!  Anyway, I know Pauly went away on a big plane.  I hope he comes back and brings me another Barney DVD soon. 

I’ve had a good day today – I went to gymnaxtiks!  That’s gymnastics to all you grownups but I’m only two, cut me a break.  I’ve missed gymnaxtiks, it’s really good fun.  I remembered how to use all the equipment and even learned how to swing on a bar, climb a ladder and balance on a beam properly today.  I did roly-polys (back AND front!) and played on the bouncy castle.  Ooh, and I went on the big trampoline which was ace.  Next week I’ll show the instructor how to do a seat drop.  Maya was there too which was nice and I was definitely only playing when I pushed her over on the long trampoline.  Ahem.  She didn’t seem to mind too much. 

After that we went to get a raspberry roll (that’s a kind of cake, not a gymnaxtiks move) then Daddy looked after me while Mummy got her hair cut.  I like it, I said “I love your hair Mummy, wow!” and she seemed happy.  To be honest, I’m not really sure she got it cut but just washed it – shhh….  I’ve never had my hair cut, expect my fringe which Mummy does as long as I keep really, really still.  I have yellow hair. 

This afternoon was interesting too because we had to go buy Ciara a first birthday gift as it’s her party tomorrow.  I’ve even got a new dress to wear but I haven’t decided whether I’ll actually deign to put it on.  I promised Mummy in the shop I’d wear it but it was all talk.  After her trick of forcing me into an outfit against my will this morning by declaring it my ‘gymnastics outfit’ and making it sound compulsory that I wear it, I’m looking for the just the right opportunity for payback.  So we got Ciara a present and I got some new play-doh!  The last lot grew bumps and changed colour because Mummy forgot to put it back in the pots.  Weird stuff.  Do the Centre for Disease Control know about it? 

Oh, and then after that I went round to Olga’s house and stayed there playing with Maya for ages while Mummy and Daddy went to the tennis championships.  They said they had a good time and saw our friend, Simon, being a line judge.  He got them tickets actually, why didn’t he get me one?  Mummy doesn’t understand tennis, she just clapped when everyone else did and asked “what’s happening?” a lot.  Daddy finds that annoying but he’s used to it as that’s what she does at rugby too.  I had a good time with Maya though and Maya’s Daddy, Alex, took us to the park to play for ages!  I was pretty tired after that though, so it’s time for me to have a long sleep.  It’s Daddy’s day to get me up tomorrow so hopefully I won’t forget to wake him up nice and early.
