Another busy week has passed and it’s also been another odd week.  Monday was ok, fairly normal, but on Tuesday I got sent home from school as I wasn’t well.  I felt ok but things were not right in the nappy department (eek!) so Mummy had to come get me.  Loads of kids were ill at school, and I wasn’t allowed back until I was completely better so I got to stay at home with Mummy for a few days!  Daddy was at home too because he’s useless at work with his broken arm and scabby head.  We didn’t do much but it was nice being at home for a change.  I called lots of people on the phone, Grandad, Auntie Christina and Granny and Auntie Ali and sang them songs down the phone. 

Mummy taught me some new songs this week: Bobby Shaftoe, Mary Mary Quite Contrary, Easy Beasy (Gran taught Mummy this one and Mummy taught me), Eenie Meenie, Minnie, Mo and stuff like that.  I still like that old chestnut, ABCs, though.  I know all the words to Sing a Song of Sixpence now too and that’s a really long song! 

I’ve been to the park with Maya a couple of times too, that’s always fun.  Mummy says I give her a heart attack climbing up the big slide and swinging on all the bars but its ok, I know what I’m doing.  I’m a trained professional and so is Maya.  I practice my moves at gymnastics and made up for lost time this week because I missed last week when I was ill.  I think the best part of gymnastics is watching Mummy and Olga do the warm up stretches.  Us kids are meant to do them but if you pretend to be distracted and watch the adults, they do all the silly moves like the kitty and seal stretches, the aeroplane, ribbet jumps etc and look like total fools!  Love it. 

This weekend has been pretty busy.  On Saturday after gymnastics me and Mummy went shopping.  I’m good at shopping so Mummy bought me a smoothie juice as a reward.  I am also partial to circle cheeses.  Then in the afternoon I went to see Jacob and baby Joseph!  That was ace fun as usual, Jacob has lots of nice toys and Victoria made banana cake.  Yum!  Daddy couldn’t come though because he was out buying Mummy her Mother’s Day present from me.  I couldn’t go because of my date with Jacob so I left explicit instructions with Olga what to buy and she took Daddy out.   I’ll tell you what I got Mummy, cos she doesn’t read this blog.  It was a cool hangbag!  It’s purple with a pink lining and very funky.  It’s a good job I told Daddy what to buy and that he had Olga to help him because bag shopping is not really something I’d entrust him to otherwise. 

Saturday was a bit different – I went to a pyjama party at my school!  There were loads of kids there, including my friend Mia, and we had a disco then watched a film with popcorn and went to sleep.  It was loads of fun.  Mummy and Daddy had a nice meal out and went to the pictures to see Wolverine and also said they had a nice night of freedom, whatever that means.  Mummy came to get me this morning and I’d just had a fight with Mia but we still hugged goodbye.  Then I got to see her again later at Hunter’s birthday party! 

Hunter is my friend from school and it was his 3^rd birthday.  He had an amazing bouncy castle and loads of toys and juice and snacks.  I saw lots of friends from school, including Isabel, Max, Zachary, Shane and Jarod.  We had loads of fun and I had a go on Hunter’s tractor, nearly running people over.  Isabel and I then had a shot on his car and I got my foot stuck on the pedal and nearly drove us into the water.  I swear I only drank juice all day!  I don’t know what happened.  I didn’t really want to come home but secretly I was very tired from my late night and busy day so I got a really cool party bag, said “thank you for having us” to Hunter’s Mummy and Daddy and went home to bed. 

Oh, forgot to say I got two very cool parcels this week.  One from Granny and Aunti Ali that had my Easter presents in it – thanks, you guys! – and another from Gran and Grandad.  They sent me new shorts for school which is ace and Mummy was especially thrilled with her Heat magazine.  I don’t see what the big deal was, Barney wasn’t in it.  Stupid magazine.  Auntie Christina once sent me a Barney magazine, man that was an awesome present.

This week I’ve watched a lot of Bob the Builder.  He rocks.
