so yesterday turned out really cool. it didn't rain nearly as much as the weather people said it would. in the afternoon gram and i went to the park across the street. there were some other kids there- twin girls. we all played together. i had loads of fun. when gram said it was time to go home i didn't want to leave. gram talked to the girl's nanny and she told gram about all the good places to take kids. so when we got home gram told mom and mom said- well i guess we better check these places out.
got up today and it was raining. it hasn't really rained much during the day lately. i ate my breakfast. dad makes me a huge bowl of oatmeal every morning with mushed up banannana in it. i eat the whole bowl and then i usually beg for toast. gram and i watched the monkey show and played. mom finally showed up and said- ok everybody get dressed we're going to check out dinky's.
dinky's is one of the places gram found out about yesterday. mom looked it up on the computer and found out where it is. so we all got dressed and went to check it out. oh my god, what a place. it's got chairs and tea to keep old people busy while the kids run around like crazy and jump in the ball pit. there were kids everywhere! mom took my shoes off and i went to check things out. i have to admit is was a little scary. some of the kids are way bigger than me and have mastered basic walking. i wasn't too sure about the whole thing. i found a stray ball and that made me happy. i played with my ball and watched how the bigger kids ran around and climbed the slide and then jumped around in the ball pit. this older boy came up to me and i thought he wanted to make friends, instead he snatched my ball away and ran off. what the hell? i started to get upset but mom pointed out another ball for me to play with. so i walked over to the other ball pit with my new ball to see the kids in there, turned out they were a bunch of girls. it wasn't so scary. i played with my ball and hopped around a little. this really big girl came over and i thought she wanted to be friends, but no, she snatched my ball away too. come on now. there are like 50million balls and people keep snatching mine. she went up the slide ramp and i decided to go after her. i wanted my ball back. she stopped half way up and saw that i was following her. i thought we could have a civilized conversation and work things out. i went to open my mouth to say- can i please have my ball back when she smacked me right in the chops. gram saw me get hit and let me tell you, that girl got a telling off. she started to cry and her mom ended up taking her home. i found another ball to play with. the rest of the time was alright. no one tried to bully me and i got to keep my ball. mom says we can go back another time and try it again.
gram and i went home while mom did some shopping. mom came home with a huge bag of stuff for me. she found a huge bucket of wooden blocks at the charity shop. she said- wooden blocks on a rainy day are the perfect fun. so i'm going to spend the rest of the day playing blocks with gram. tomorrow if it's nice we're supposed to go to the beach. mom says there is a super duper surprise coming for me on saturday. oh what a week!
