HANGING OUT WITH MY DAD

Dad and I couldn't do any projects today because it was too cold and yucky. So we hung out together inside. We had lots of cuddles and read books and played with toys. It was just as good. Later I went to visit my friend Samantha. She has a cool rocking horse which I thought was pretty neat.

BOOKS, BOOKS AND MORE BOOKS

Mum and Dad thought they could get away with just reading one or two stories at night by letting me look at books by myself first but I am too clever for that. Now I hold out my favourite stories, to let Mum and Dad know that I would like to listen to them - I do this A LOT. Today Mum was trying to take my picture but I was too busy pulling my books out of the toy box and reading them.

AN INSIDE DAY

Yesterday was a cold, wet and windy day so Mum, Jessie and I stayed snuggled up inside. We had lots of fun though. I helped Mum hang the washing up to dry, played with a balloon and followed Jessie around all day.

HELPING IS HARD WORK

On the weekends I like to go outside and help my Dad with his projects. Dirt is fun! Afterwards Dad takes me out on my bike and we look at the cows and visit the dogs who live next door (cows and dogs are so cool). But all this work is exhausting, and afterwards I like to curl up on the bean bag with Casey (my blankie) and have a little rest.

DINNER TIME

I am practising very hard at using a fork to eat my dinner with. Mum and Dad use one and i've had some turns with theirs but their forks are very big. This one is just the right size for me. I can get the food in my mouth once its on the fork - its getting it on thats the tricky part!

JESS AND I

I love Jessie and Jessie loves me too. I try very hard to use gentle open hands when I want to touch her and Jessie is very patient. She snuggles up to me if I sit still, comes outside with me when i'm on my bike or going for a walk - she comes everywhere with Mum and I.
Last night Jessie came to visit me in my bed. My blankets are warm and snuggly and she likes to curl up at the end of the cot. In the middle of the night, Mum could hear me talking to someone and when she spied on me from the door I was sitting up in bed next to Jess. Later on when Mum came back to check on us we were cosily asleep next to each other. I think Mum was jealous that Jessie wanted to sleep with me because she took her away but thats ok because i've already had more cuddles from Jess today.

FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!

I love to ride my bike outside, especially down the driveway. Mum or Dad run down behind me to try and slow me down but I move my feet so i can go even faster. It is so exciting!!! Jessie has to come too and she can beat us all down the driveway. I can also come outside on my bike and help my Dad in the garden and my Mum hang the washing out and to see the cows in the paddock and... My bike is the best.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS

I am learning lots of new things all of the time now. I can push my wagon around the house all by myself. Mum and I put some toys on it each day for me to bring up to the lounge to play with. It is all quite an adventure. I'm not too sure about going around corners yet, especially the sharp ones. But if I want to keep up with Jessie my cat, i'll have to figure it out soon. Today Jessie was sitting under the coffee table, so I brought my wagon and toys over to show her. She didn't want to play with me though, I guess she was too sleepy.
