ME AND MY HAT

Grandad works at RD1 and this is his RD1 hat. He gave me a little turn with it. I thought it was very cool and wore it round the house to show Mum and Nana. It is a pretty neat hat!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA

Yesterday my Grandma came to see me in Hawera. I remembered her from Monday and we had a lovely day together. Grandma played in the little house with me and I helped her blow out her birthday candles when it was time to have birthday cake. I showed her all the things I have learnt how to do and kept her very busy with all the toys. Grandma even had a dance to the Wiggles with me - What fun! I will see Grandma again soon because she is coming to visit us in Invercargill at the end of September. Yah! Mum says we might even have a house to live in by then?!

GOODNIGHT DOLLY

Before I go to bed at night, Nana and I tuck Dolly into bed too. Dolly is a very good sleeper but she doesn't like to sleep for long, so I have to get her up often. I don't like to sleep for too long either - Dolly and I think there is just too much to do when you're up.

GRANDAD'S LITTLE JOCKEY

Grandad has been teaching me how to ride a horse. It is great fun. I have to hold on with two hands tight and put my feet in a special place. This horse is a little bit too big for me yet but I am trying hard and Grandad helps me out. Grandad has got a big speedy horse called Bravara. Maybe when I am a big girl I will be able to ride speedy horses in races like Bravara goes in. But in the mean time I can still have fun on this horse right here in Nana and Grandad's lounge.

LIVING WITH NANA AND GRANDAD

Mum and Jessie and I are living with Nana and Grandad in Hawera for a little while. Daddy is at work in Invercargill, our house in Rotorua has been sold and we don't have a place to live in Invercargill just yet, so we have all come to stay. It has been so much fun and we've all had lots of adventures.

Jessie has been a very good girl and got used to things really quickly. I have been looking after her and giving her lots of love. Nana and Grandad love her too. She is very spoilt here, just like I am.

Mum and I have also been to see Grandma in Palmerston North. That was lots of fun. Grandma and I played with the toys together and read some stories too. She made us a yummy, yummy lunch too. We are going to see Grandma again on Saturday because she is going to come and visit us in Taranaki. It is her birthday today (Friday) and we are going to have a birthday lunch together. Yah!! Happy Birthday Grandma! xxx

Nana and Grandad have got this really cool playhouse at their place. It has a door that opens and closes and windows that open and close too. It is SO much fun. Grandad has got me a play house just like this from his work and it will be waiting for me in Invercargill when I get there. Wow! I am very lucky.

They have also got a cot with a little baby in it. Nana helps me put baby to bed and get her up again. And if I am very sneaky i can climb up into the cot too and sit in it like a couch. Nana is my bestest friend. I like to walk over to her and have cuddles or play with the toys. She even taught me how to do some counting and how to say Bradley. I didn't really know about Grandad when I first saw him again but now I am his friend too. We have been building with the blocks together and playing lots of games of 'boo', which is my absolute favourite.
