Well, here we are again, nearly the weekend.  What a busy week I’ve had!  Of course Monday was a holiday so we stayed at home – no school, yahoo! – and were all very lazy.  I read a lot of books.  My Mummy asked why I don’t watch more TV, like ordinary kids, but I just like to read.  Mummy should know what I mean, she reads a lot too but her books are boring.  No pictures in them.

School has been a bit different this week cos it’s still holidays here so there weren’t so many kids at school.  They call it Easter camp but I heard Mummy say it was just “regular school but at twice the price”.  Still, my friends Max, Mia and Zachary were there so I had lots of fun.  I get a bit upset if I get there in the mornings and the kids aren’t already playing outside.  I don’t want to hang around inside, I want to get out and commence the daily roll-in-the-sand exercises.  We did lots of painting and today we baked corn bread.

I got to see Maya on both Wednesday evening and Thursday evening.  On Wednesday we picked her up from school which was interesting.  That’s the second time I’ve been to Maya’s school and it’s very different from my school, but there’s lots of stuff going on.  I wanted to stop and play with the toys but Maya wanted to go back to my house for a smoothie so we didn’t hang around.  On Thursday we picked her up from her Mummy’s house, just to be different, and again she came to my house.  I was a good girl and shared all my toys and books.  I even let Maya play on Alfie (my ride-on giraffe that my Auntie Jill and Uncle Petie gave me) for quite a long time, which I think everyone will agree was most generous of me. 

On Thursday I had another surprise as my Mummy’s friend, Pauly, came to visit us!  He’s from a faraway land called Australia and Mummy says they have killer spiders and kangeroos there.  Pauly also says “g’day mate” a lot, or at least Daddy says that’s right.  I haven’t heard him say it myself but it’s only a matter of time, surely.  He brought me two DVDs, one of which was a Barney one so we became great friends immediately.  He brought Mummy some crisps and a Curly Wurly so she was very happy too.  Tonight I had a great game of football with him in the living room.

I’ve had a bit of a cough and cold this week but that’s ok, I get to practise holding my hand across my mouth when I cough and wiping my nose with a tissue and absolutely, definitely never my t-shirt.  It’s actually working out well because if I cough enough in the middle of the night, Mummy brings me some water and I can usually get an extra song or two out of her.  She’s extra croaky at 4am but I’ll take what I can get.  Must remember to wake her up tonight!

Not sure what the weekend’s plans are but I hope they involve the park, friends and ice-cream in that exact order!   Note to self, wake Daddy up early tomorrow.  Tee hee…..
