art class art class art class. oh i do enjoy art class. mom and i went this morning. we sat next to earring and her mom. earring wanted to play. we ran around the room chasing each other. i ran back to mom so she would save me. mom was all- i'm not saving you and then she tickled me. while i was rolling around on the ground, earring came over and tickled me too! then she wanted me to tickle her. oh no. i'm not going to have any tickle fights.
today we painted egg cups, they hold your softboiled egg so it doesn't roll around the table while you dip your toast sticks in it. mine has eyes on it. i was a little upset there was no glitter too.
after class mom took me to the grocery store for stuff. that's it really. the weather is total crap. it' super cold, windy and rainy. mom and i are just going to eat snacks and watch spongebob.

another day of crap weather. mom and i went out for a quick walk this morning. we hit a couple of charity shops and sainsburys. it's so not nice out.

today has been an alright kind of day. i woke up a little needy and mom woke up a little grumpity. the first few hours of morning time were bumpy but we got it worked out. ate my usual breakfast of mush with a banananna. dad went off to work.
it's a grey rainy monday so mom got me dressed in my raincoat and puddle jumping boots. we walked around town and hit the charity shops. not a whole lot to see. mom did find me a couple of cool books in the heart shop. hit the grocery store on the way home and mom got stuff for dad's dinner.
watched some spongebob while i ate lunch. today i wanted peanut butter and jelly so mom made me that. it was delicious. spent some time playing with my trucks and going over my new stories. the new books are really cool.
i wasn't really interested in doing naptime but mom insisted. mom woke me up and i was still tired. she took my diaper off and said- hey, this is pretty dry considering all the juice you've had today. go use the potty. mooooom. i want my diaper back on. so i whined at her but mom wouldn't budge. i had to pee in the potty before i got my diaper back. i peed loads, standing up over the potty. it all went in. i am really into peeing standing up right now. i do a good job. i did the pee and got my diaper back. mom also hooked me up with some dried apricot for a special treat.
mom spent the afternoon making tasty things. she cooked loads of stuff. i just watched spongebob. i watch a lot of spongebob. i hope mom gets me a new dvd player soon so i can go back to watching my movies too.
ate dinner and watched my night time shows. when super why was done i asked mom if i could watch pingu in dad's room. she said, ok. so that's what i'm doing. going to spend the rest of my night watching pingu and drinking milk.

no naps today and 7 poops. mom is so not impressed. dad says i am totally going to bed early. i just say- whatever, doesn't matter

i slept all night in my bed. goodie for me. but then i woke up with a wicked tummyache. i ran out crying to mom. she gave me hugs and rubbed my back for me. the poopoos are giving me trouble. a load came out and mom changed me. my tummy still hurt. there was lots of crying for awhile.
i'm feeling better now. i've made 3 poopoos this morning. i had some toast and cheerios for breakfast. my tummy doesn't hurt so much. i've been playing with my toys and watching spongebob. mom says when the stores open up we can go out for the shopping.

yes, yes, updates i know. i've been keeping mom busy. this afternoon was all about poops. i've been making lots of poops. my tummy kind of hurts so mom has been rubbing my back for me. talked to jammma and grdad. dad is home. i'm going to see if i can talk him into giving me some bananananas in custard. more later
-----------------------
today was the usual kind of saturday. dad made french toast instead of banana pantakes. everyone ate breakfast and then got dressed. we went to the shops to buy some stuff on mom's list. nothing terribly exciting.
dad went to work. mom and i wandered around town, looking at cool stuff in the shops. we didn't find anything good to buy.
ate some food. watched spongebob. i had a bit of a tummyache this afternoon. mom made some chocolate chip cookie bars and i just laid on the couch and moaned. ok, i moaned a bit but mostly pretended i was living in an egg with my penguins.

i felt well enough this afternoon to help mom do some cleaning. i jumped up in my red chair and wiped the counter down.

there's been no poopoos for a few days. some finally came out after naps. i made 3 poopoos. mom was all- finally. grdad called and i talked to him a little on the phone.

friday means: PLAYGROUP! except mom says- no playgroup until after easter break. oh man. what the hell. mom is all- we're avoiding germy kids so you don't catch a cold before going away for easter. meh. i guess that's acceptable. so instead of going to playgroup and having fun mom and i just cruised the same old charity shops, looking at the same old stuff. there really is nothing exciting going on these days. we couldn't find anything good to buy. we did stop by the medieval parish church on the highstreet by tescos. mom says it's super old. they had a load of balloons out front which means something is going on inside. mom and i stopped by to check it out: coffee morning for help the old people. that means it's a little fund raiser for the old people charity. you can buy tea, coffee and tasty little cakes. mom said since we did so much walking today we could have a little treat. she bought something called a mini victoria sponge. it looked like a tricked out cupcake. we shared. it was pretty tasty.

thursday is monkey class day. tic toc fingers ready. but that's not til afternoon time. in the morning mom and i got dressed and walked around town for awhile. we visited our usual shops looking for cool stuff. didn't really find much. we got a couple random books at oxfam. the hospice doesn't sell books any more. mom is kind of humped. they were the last place in town that had cheap kids books. mom says cheap books are getting harder to come by. got a couple of things at the grocery store and headed home.
mom did lunch and we watched tv. when mom was done eating she said it was time for monkey class. whoo-hoo. we went to class and had fun. i sang my songs and did the dances. today we played drums, bells and maracas: all my favorites. at the end of class mom got my sign up sheet for next term. i don't have to be back to class until april 19th. wow, that's a nice long break.
went home and i didn't want to take my nap. mom just threw her hands in the air and said- whatever. do what you want just be quiet. i played nice in my room until mom said it was time for me to come out. that's it really. just waiting around for dad to get home

ART CLASS!
before class mom and i walked around town a bit, just to get some fresh air and burn off some energy. art class was good fun as always. today we decorated eggs. teacher sara gave us straws and we were supposed to blow the water around the tray to see how it moves. you know, make little waves and stuff. i didn't want to blow, i decided to suck instead. mom was all- eeewe gross. she took my straw away. at least i didn't suck the water when the ink was in there, like beenie the paint eater. for the second part of class we were supposed to make little men with our eggs and straws. what? i don't know. i wasn't interested. i just sat and cut paper with the scissors.
after class mom and i just did the usual: got stuff at the grocery store and went home for lunch.

this one is for my grdad

busy day busy day. i'm back to sleeping part of the night in my bed and then getting up and crawling into bed with dad. got up this morning and instantly was on mom's case. i want breakfast time, i want cuddles, i want juice, i want to go shops. i want this and i want that. all right now. mom was all- one request at a time please. breakfast breakfast, breakfast. banannana cherrios, prordge, bananananaaaas! pwease. i said pwease. i want to go outside.
finally mom said the shops were open and we could go out for our fresh air and walk around town. it's kind of raining out. mom made me wait so long to go out that i didn't feel like going out when she said it was time to go. i screamed and yelled at her all the way down the street to the grocery store. mom was not impressed. i was pretty good in the store. we did check out and pay. mom took the receipt. oh no you didn't. i like to hold the receipt and she wouldn't give it to me. i screamed and had a full melt down. and then mom was all- oh no you don't. she grabbed me by the collar and marched me straight home. i screamed and yelled the whole way back because i was furious she wasn't taking me to the charity shops. yeah it's another suckday.
so it's pouring down rain all day and me and mom are fighting about stuff. she said if i was going to be grumity and disagreeable i should just go back to bed. so i sat in bed for awhile. pete and i played baby penguin. mom has been reading me a book about baby penguins. they live in eggs and then hatch out. for dinner they eat fish pukies. i like to pull the blankets over my head and pretend i'm living in an egg. i do not like eating fish pukies though.
there was lots of fussing and whining at mom and some spongebob watching. mom tried to make me do naps but i said- nope, no naps for me, mom gave up after an hour. i did agree to sit in my room quietly and play for the rest of nap time.
i got a chance to chat with dana bunny and g-dad on the computer phone. that was a nice treat. i shouted at the computer- HI DANA BUNNY! over and over. i also told dana bunny and g-dad that i love them and want to visit on the boat.
the afternoon was full of more fussing and whining at mom. i ate a huge dinner. dad's not home yet but i'm feeling pretty tired. i'm going to sit with blueberry and pete on the couch. we'll watch chigwee and wait for dad.

today was the usual kind of sunday.
dad went to the gym. mom and i walked around town. mr hoover came to suck up the crumbs. dad set up my traintracks. mom made me take a nap. got up from nap and it was still kind of nice out so we all went to the park. i got to ride my motor bike. oh yeah it was great fun. i went around and around the park.

it got kind of cold and dark out so mom said it was time to go home for food. i didn't put up a fight, i was ready for dinner. got home. dad decided that the pot of curry he was making wasn't fit for eating. the fish smelled too strong and the flavor was off. mom was all- ok great, bag it up and i will throw it out. so mom left with a bag of stinking fish curry and headed down to the dumpsters. she came back with a cute french girl. what? mom finds the weirdest things in the dumpsters and always insists on bringing them home. french girl M really wasn't in the dumpsters. she was sitting in the doorway of her flat looking sad because she got locked out and no one was home to let her back in. mom said she could come and hang out at our house.
i liked french girl M. i did my best to charm her. i showed her all my best toys and chatted with her. she was very impressed i spoke so well and all the words i know. she only staid about an hour. i was a little sad when she left. it was something different. after that it was back to the usual sunday stuff. dad and i splashed in the bath. now i'm all fresh and clean and ready for bed, and so is blueberry. he had to go in the washer this morning because i wiped a big green slimy boogie on him and freaked out. i ran screaming to the washer and pushed him right in. wash blueberry mom! so she did and then he went to dry in the closet. seems we've all had an exciting sunday.

best part of my day. mom let me call jammma and grdad on the phone. i do like chatting with them. makes such a nice change from my mom.
same old saturday morning but slightly different. everyone got up. dad made french toast instead of pantakes. oooooh extra tasty. everyone ate and then it was time to go for our saturday shopping trip. mom got a load of stuff on her list. dad and i just wondered around chatting.

another day of hanging out with mom. blah. no playgroup for me. mom says i seem to be getting better. i'm less hot and sniffy. playgroup is full of germy kids. mom says we should probably avoid it until after easter. that should give me plenty of time to full recover and for everyone else's germs to go away.
so we just walked around town this morning. i curled up in dad's bed and mom put pingu on for me. pingu makes me laugh. oh that silly penguin. that's it really, pretty uneventful day

i'm still feeling not right, little warm, little grumpity. mom and i went out this morning for our usual walk around town. we got stuff for dad's dinner and then it was time for charity shops. i wanted to go in allllll the shops. there wasn't really much to see. mom says we need to give the shops a bit of a rest so they can restock and get more interesting stuff in. we visited the farmer's market. mom and i tried some funky cheese. mom said it was good, it made me gag. that stuff tasted weird. i didn't really want to hang out in the farmer's market, i wanted to do the shops.
mom and i visited the shops on the other side of town. again, not much new stuff to see. mom got a couple of cookbooks. i almost got a night garden dvd but i blew it. we had to wait in line to pay and instead of standing nicely i slumped in my harness and then threw myself on the floor. mom said if i couldn't behave then the dvd would go back. i just ignored her and continued to roll around on the ground. mom just left me there and put the dvd back on the shelf. but then we still had to wait in line so mom could buy her stuff. mom got stuff and i got nothing, that plan didn't work out so well. i like it better when i get stuff and mom gets nothing.
when home because we ran out of shops and i was being really whiny. mom checked my temp with a hot strip. it was almost 100, warmish. my nose was snotty and annoying me. i ate a little soup for lunch and then mom gave me some medicine. mom says- rest rest rest, that's the only way you'll feel better. i got blueberry and crawled into bed. mom read me a couple of stories and then left me alone to have my rest.
i had a good long sleep. when i got up i felt much better. my nose is still a little runny but i'm not warmish any more. i ended up missing music class today, booo. mom says we'll make it up on tuesday.

i've been keeping mom busy today. so far 3 poopoos. it's an ok kind of day. i slept all night, alone in my room. i woke mom up this morning with my singing so she would know to come get me. we curled on the couch together and watched the morning shows while my breakfast cooked. mom took my diaper away and told me she was out of fresh pants so i would have to use the potty. eeegads! i fussed at her for a bit, new diaper, new diaper. mom said- no, use the potty please. big boy pants? ok, you can have some big boy pants. so she got me my padded underwear. i wore those for awhile. ever 5min mom was- make sure you use the potty and don't wet your pants. blah blah blah. she came over to check on me and found the pants were wet, doh! she took them off me and along with my slightly soggy socks. i went and sat on the potty while she put the wet stuff in the washer. i did a load of pee. i got a star on my chart. mom said i could have a star for staying in bed all night too. i get 10 pee stars and i get a new car. i get 10 bed stars and i get a new truck. cool.
mom and i went out and walked around town this morning. she was on the hunt for cheap bananas again. we stopped at the veg stand, no cheap bananas. sad face for mom. we went to the charity shops. mom found a load of books, educational books. she bought them all. i'm going to have to learn things. eye roll.
after the shops mom and i lumbered off to art class. art class was good. we painted eggs and turned them into weird chickens. it's a circle of life kind of thing.
stopped off at tesco on the way home for some things on mom's list.
i ate a bit of chicken soup for lunch. i got a chunky part i didn't like the feel of so i spite puked on mom. she was not impressed. you can't puke just because you got a chunky bit. got cleaned up and mom said i felt a little warmer than i should. i also have a runny nose. mom gave me a dose of medicine and sent me off to bed. i didn't complain. mom says i must not feel 100% if i'm not complaining about an early nap. we read one of my new stories, it's about one of the laws of physics. a pig rolling down the hill in a red wagon will stay in motion, until they hit something- say a rock, that locks the wagon wheels. the wagon will stop but the pig will remain in motion until it crash lands. yeah, after a boring story like that i was begging for a nap.
got up this afternoon. just been watching spongebob and making poops. can't really complain about that.

jammma went home today. there were tears. only a couple. i was really dramatic while she walked out the door but as soon as mom sat down on the couch with me i sniffled once and stopped crying. i was laughing again in a couple of minutes.
jammma and i had a nice day together. we walked around town and played at the park. mom went off to the movies. everyone got to do their favorite stuff.
mom and jammma ate chocolate cake and pizza. i got to watch. mom did share some pizza with me but i would have preferred the cake.

last night before bed i made pukies. epic pukies. mom said it was like a puke fountain. i just sprayed it all over the room, huge wet chunky piles. jammma was all- i didn't think he even at that much at dinner. where is all this coming from? it got all over the couch and the throw rug and the carpet. dad hid in the bedroom. i just stood around feeling bad for myself.
i went to bed and slept alright. this morning i'm still feeling pretty blah but stuff is staying in my tummy. i had a bit of fruit and some juicey. jammma and mom have both checked me over for spots. mom says- no sign of the chicken pops. i just have a stomach bug. i'm going to curl up on the couch with blueberry and pete to watch shows.

i went to the seaside today. dad drove me and jammma and mom to the seaside in car. it was loads of fun. first we went to the playground. i rode on a sit and spin. you sit and then you spin. what a ride. i ran around a bit. i got to ride on the swings. i found a scooter that no one was using. it belong to a little boy who was busy doing other stuff. he just left this awesome scooter sitting in the grass next to his mom. jammma and i went over and i talked to the mom. she said i could borrow the scooter. awesome! so i went all over the place on this scooter. i checked the wheels to see how they rolled. it was great. i didn't want to give the scooter back. there were tears when the mom came and said they were leaving. mom came over and gave me some cheese cracker to cheer me up.
after the park we all walked along the seaside. jammma and i went down on the beach. we dug around in the sand and watched the dogs run around. when it got a little cold it was time to go home. on the way off the beach i saw this white thing sitting on top of a pile of sand. i picked it up- new car! new car. someone just left a perfectly cool car sitting there on the beach. i snatched it right up and claimed it as my own under the ancient law of: finders keepers. back at our car i had to get my pants changed in the parking lot. they were full of sand. lots of sand. mom said the sand had to stay at the seaside.
it was a nice way to spend the afternoon and i got a new car!

today i did the usual saturday morning thing with mom and dad. got up and chatted with jammma a bit before we climbed out of bed. mom did my breakfast and jammma helped me eat. dad made pantakes and everyone ate them up. i had a pantake too but only ate a little bit. i just like talking about butter and syrup.
after breakfast time everyone got ready to go out. i went for a car ride with mom and dad and jammma hit the town. helped the folks do the grocery shopping. we filled the cart full of good stuff to eat next week. i wanted to visit the fish at the pet store but it wasn't opened yet.
got home and jammma wasn't there. i looked all over the house for her. jammma, jammma where are you? mom said she went out to the shops and if we went to the shops too, we might see her. so mom and i hit the shops while dad put the groceries away. we looked in a couple shops and didn't see anything good. mom picked up most of the good stuff yesterday. we went into the next shop and found jammma behind a clothes rack. mom and i were talking about finding jammma. is she in this store? i don't know, do you think we will find her? and then mom goes- there she is! jammma. we finished out charity shop shopping. i followed jammma home while mom went off in search of peppers.
it's a super nice day out. jammma and i dropped off our bags, did a quick diaper change and headed off to the park for a run around. the park was great fun. i played with a bunch of kids. i found a tickle stick. i spent a lot of time tickling the flowers. tickle tickle tickle.
when it was time to go i took the tickle stick home. i accidentally tickled a police officer. he just laughed. i showed mom and then went around the house giving all my toys a good tickle. good fun.

mom walked me and jammma to playgroup. man i love playgroup. jammma watched me while i drove the big red car around and played trains. we had a nice morning.
after playgroup jammma and i went home for lunch time. we ate yummy food. then we went and did fun stuff in the park.

jammma is here! i woke up in the morning time and there she was- jammma! she came in the night just like mom said she would. the train brought her, not the jammma fairey. there's no such thing as a jammma fairey, that's just silly.
jammma and i have been having a super fun time. the only thing we didn't do today was meet the queen, which we actually could have done. the queen came to town today for a visit but we didn't know about it until later. maybe next time queen will phone ahead and then we'll know to pick her up at the train station.
jammma and i played football in the park. we walked around town. we followed the old roman wall to someplace i had never been before. where are we? where are we? jammma said- in exeter, still in exeter. this doesn't look like any exeter i know. i didn't take my nap today. jammma and i were too busy having fun. the sun was out so we just ran around outside, all day long.

mom and i walked around town for awhile this morning. spring time is on the way and i am full of go go go go go go. i want to run around and run some more. mom says no running in the house so we go out early and i run outside. run run run as fast as you can, can't catch me i'm hardwick, man. we went to a few stores looking for a special new truck for me. last night i slept all night in my bed, alone. i didn't get up and crawl into bed with the folks. pete, blankie and i stayed in hardwick's bed, in hardwick's room. i woke mom up with my singing so she would know to come get me. mom said- see, i knew you could do it. such a big boy, well done. for a special big boy treat we can buy a new car today. NEW CARS!
so around the city we ran in search of a new car or truck. we left home too early because none of the shops were open. closed sign, closed sign. oh man. we stopped by the veg stand and got a bag full of stuff for cheap. mom was all- oooh broccoli. mmmm pears and oh look- pink grapefruit. grapefruit? dude, i seriously love grapefruit. buy it mom! mom got her bag full of stuff and we headed over to the pound shop since it was the only place open early. they had so much cool stuff in there. i mulled over my choices and went with a dump truck. oh yes, the dump truck will do nicely.
after the shops mom took me to art class. i ran around some more. today we painted. i like painting. my nose was a little runny and i kept wiping it with the back of my hand. that made a mess. by the end of class my cheek was covered in paint and snot. kind of cool actually.mom said it looked like i had whiskers. did painting and then got to use glue and glitter. always fun. there were guys working in the hallway and i kept going to the door to watch and then running around the hallway and then around the classroom. i wasn't listening to mom when she asked me to stop. she finally caught me and i got told off and bundled off home. show and tell mom, show and tell. nope sorry, you don't listen, you go home.
got home and mom dug out my new truck. oh it's so cool. i was playing with it on the couch and actually telling mom- this truck is so cool. mom was all- oh really. hi five. mom says i am totally american, i just have an english accent.

oh goodness you. i've had a super busy morning. i swear mom takes me all these weird places just to tire me out. this morning i was up early again. sun is getting up earlier and so am i. did the breakfast thing. dad went off to work. mom said we would go out and do fun stuff. go to park, go to park, go to park. um, not the park, i've got something else in mind. where did we go? the freaken grocery store. come on now. mom was all- oh look, chocolate cookies are on sale. mom bought her grocery stuff and we crossed the street to the hospice shop. they had some cool stuff that wasn't there yesterday. mom got me two new stories: that's not my monster and that's not my pirate. great, more stories. where is all the fun mom promised? mom looked at her watch and was- ok, let's go. it's time for fun. go to park? no, how about playgroup? PLAYGROUP!
playgroup, playgroup, playgroup. it took us a few minutes to find the right door to go in but eventually we made it to the playgroup. it's just a small new group. i was the only boy and one of the biggest kids. there were mostly little baby girls. all they wanted to do was drink milk and drool on themselves. fine by me. i got to ride all i wanted on the motorbike. there was also a tent with a tunnel. i pretended i was in a cave. i did some pretend cooking on the stove. at arts and craft time a couple of the big girls made egg carton flowers. i wasn't interested, i rode the motorbike. i did sit down for snacks. i got to eat all the orange and apple slices i wanted. i also got a cup of apple juice- with no lid! i drank from the cup with no help and only spilled a little on my shirt. mom was impressed.
at the end of playgroup we sat and sang some songs. one of the moms played the piano and us kids got to pick instruments from the box. i got triangle and tictoc maker. it was great. mom was all- that is probably the best pound we will spend today.
when it was time to go i didn't cry. mom said we could go back next time. cool. we left playgroup and mom took me down the hill to this bookstore place- bookcycle. i kept asking- where are we? where are we? i don't get down to that part of town very often. mom and i went around the bookstore. i wasn't interested in shopping so i was running around and causing a ruckus. mom used her mom voice on me and growled- sit down when i was being a little naughty. some guy was so scared he actually sat down too. mom laughed at him and said he was a good boy. i just looked at him like- weirdo. he was all- everyone knows the mom voice, you do what it says even if it's not your mom.
we left the shop and mom said we could take the little hill or the steepcote hill to get home. steep hill, steep hill. i do not think i chose wisely. steepcote hill is really steep. mom and i made it to the top eventually.
got home and the phone rang. grdad! i got to have a nice chat with grdad. he returned my call from last week. he and mommom are back from france. yeah grdad. i told him about the motorbike and new playgroup. mom made lunch and i ate that. watched spongebob. i'm pretty tired now so i think i'll get blueberry and do my nap.

pretty good day for a monday. i let mom know early that i wanted to go out shopping. go to shops, go to shops, go to shops. yes hardwick we will go to the shops, how about we wait until they are open? go to shops? GO TO SHOPS! finally mom said it was time to get ready and go out shopping. of course peppa pig had just started on the tv. oh man. i turned it off though and got ready. well not really. i gave mom a super hard time about getting my shoes on, and my jacket on, and my hat on. she was not happy. she told me to just forget about going out and to get back in bed. getting ready to go out shouldn't take 10min, it should take 2 seconds. grrrrrr. so i grabbed blueberry and had a quick cry in my bed. go out shops? mom came in and said i could have 1 more chance. i jumped out of bed and ran to the door. getting ready really did take 2 seconds. i had my shoes, coat and hat on before i could blink.
mom and i went to the veg stand- no cheap bananas today. booo. we went to a couple of the charity shops. mom said i could buy the toy camera i've had my eye on for like 2 weeks. she gave me money and i paid. she bought a big cooking dish for herself. mom dragged me off to tesco. we got stuff on the list and checked out.
we headed across town. mom said today we would check out a couple different places we don't normally go to. first we stopped at the oxfam bookstore. mom found a little kid international cookbook. interesting. i got to pay for that too. i'm getting pretty good. i put the stuff on the counter and start talking- pay, pay. money. and then i push money across to the person. i get to put receipts in my pocket, that makes me happy. mom and i walked down the hill to a place called read and return. you buy used books and later you can return them if you want and get some of your money back. mom found a bunch of cool 'educational' books for me. after that we stopped off at this place mom used to work at called real mccoy. mom talked to some people and then we shared a hot chocolate. oh baby, it was delicious. we walked around the shop and looked at lots of stuff but didn't buy anything. on the way out we stopped at another little shop that is an art gallery. we looked at pictures and tshirts. it was alright. on the way home we stopped at the hospice shop to look around. one of the boys from art class was there with his mom. he was sleeping in his buggy. i saw a lot of big kids riding buggies today. i was all like- man doesn't your mom make you walk everywhere? lucky. mom and i were out walking for like 3hrs today.
got home and asked for a cheese samich for lunch so mom made me one. i got my apple chunks and an oat bar afterwards. i played with my camera and watched spongebob. mom made me take a nap like usual. that's fine, i was pretty tired.
got up from nap and found that mom had done some work on my camera. when you press the botton the flash goes off, new battery! thanks mom. i've been taking pictures for hours now. dad just got home and i'm going to talk to him all about my camera. later

typical sunday around here. dad went to the gym. mom dragged me to tesco. mr hoover came and sucked up the crumbs. i ate lunch. mom said if i took my nap when i got up we could go to the park. i didn't want to take a nap, i just wanted to go play. eventually i fell asleep. i woke up and shouted- go to park! i jumped out of bed and went to find mom. i grabbed her arm- go to park, PLAY FOOTBALL! yes, yes, we'll go to the park. mom got ready and then i got ready. mom talked to dad, he would come to the park too after he was done cooking. awesome!
so mom and i went to the park. i ran around and kicked my ball a bit. i did the rides. i found 20p under a tree. whoo-hoo. dad showed up and i kicked the ball around with him. we all had a nice time playing in the park. i didn't really want to go when mom said it was home time. mom was all- it's getting cold and the sun will go to bed soon. we need to go put your money in the money box. oh yeah. ok, fine. i followed mom and dad home. i ate my dinner up and it's going to be splash in the bath time in a minute.

PANTAKE DAY! you could really just cut and paste a saturday already done into this day. got up, ate breakfast. dad make pantakes. mom and dad ate pantakes, i had one too. everyone got dressed and we went for a ride in the car. did the grocery shopping. dad put the groceries away. dad went to work. mom and i walked around town. i played with toys. spongebob was on all day. yup, just another saturday.

mom and i got up and went for a walk around town. we went to boots and picked up a bag of those cheese crackers for little kids. interesting as in totally not something we normally do. we stopped by the vegstand but mom didn't see anything she wanted to buy. mom kept looking at her watch and then suggesting random things to do. we ended up walking around and visiting a few charity shops we don't usually go to. mom found some books in one and bought them. while we were walking back towards the center of town mom said- how about we go to playgroup? PLAYGROUP! hell yes. playgroup, playgroup, playgroup. man i love playgroup. today it was already set up when we got there. i jumped right in one of the big red cars and drove it around. i played a long time with the trains. since it was kind of sunny out they had the door for the courtyard opened. mom and i went outside to check it out. i ran around with some of the other boys. it was ok. i spent a little time in the play house making dinner- like mommy does, like mommy does. mom was all- yes, mom cooks dinner. someday i'll teach you how to do it too and you can impress the ladies. people started leaving. little kids were getting their coats on and sitting down in their buggies. mom said it was time for us to go do other stuff to. but but but, playgroup. and i started to sniffle a little. mom was all- how about some cheese crackers? cheese crackers? hell yes! so i got my coat on and followed mom out into the street. cheese crackers, cheese crackers. whoo-hoo. i am loving cheese crackers. mom and i stopped by the vegstand again and this time they had things mom wanted. she got some bananas and buttered nut squash, which sounds kind of kinky and painful when you think about it.
mom and i went home. i ate my lunch and watched spongebob. mom and i played with toys and then it was nap time. stupid nap time. blah. i gave mom a hard time but eventually took my dumb nap.
didn't do much with the rest of the day. mom and i just kind of hung out. chiggly is on soon and i'm just waiting for dad to get home so we can watch it together.

hello hello everyone, it's time to have some fun. music class day! i was so excited i woke mom up at 5.30am to talk about it and make sure she was ready. mom was all- good god man, who gets up at 5.30am?
well music class isn't until this afternoon. mom and i went out for our morning walk, which was more like a steady run. i trotted alongside mom all morning. i just wanted to run and run. i didn't want to hold hands or let mom hold my line. i am all about being big boy hardwick today. we visited the veg stand, i was going to pay for something. i went right up to the scary lady and said- money! mom grabbed me back and said- you can't hand over money unless you want to buy something. we didn't find anything good today. mom didn't want any pineapples.
mom said we could do the charity shops so we went there. we didn't find anything purchase worthy until the last shop. mom found a weird box, something about cards and laces, give my obsessive compulsive mind a project other than bubble wrap. i don't know, i wasn't listening. mom gave me some money and i took the box up to the counter to pay for it. this please, here's money. i got to put the receipt in my pocket. the lady asked me if i wanted a bag. mom told her no thanks we have one. i didn't want a bag, i just carried my box around until we got home. then i said- ok, thank you, bye bye when we left the store. mom and i headed off for the grocery shopping. we did tesco and sainsbury's today. since we were over that way i insisted that we see the shops there too. so we hit two more charity shops and the farmer's market. they had samples at the farmer's market today. i got to try a herbed goat cheese on a cracker and some fresh baked bread with fancy marmalade. tasty stuff.
after all that mom said it was time to go home. mom made me lunch- cheese samich, just like i asked for. mom had her lunch- cheese pizza with chipotle mayo dip. i begged crusts off her much to her annoyance. after lunch it was time for class so mom and i went and did that.
got to music class and ran around a bit. did the songs and danced. i popped a load of bubbles. class was fun. got home and now i am totally taking a nap. it's been a super busy day.

today is art class!
i got up and dad wasn't around. where's dad? where's dad? dad got up and went to work early today. oh man. so mom cooked my breakfast and i just had her to hang out and play with this morning. we had chores to do before art class so we got ready and left the house for 9am. first stop was the charity shop to return something that didn't work right. mom talked to the lady while i looked at stuff. mom came over to get me and noticed something on the shelf- what is that? she lifted it up and turned it around. holy hell it's a vintage fisher price barn. mom opened the doors and they made a mooooing sound. there was a bag of animals inside. mom said- we are so totally getting this. she also dug out some cool cars like the ones i enjoy playing with at playgroup. score for me!
after the charity shop mom and i hit tesco for some food buying and time killing. we got a few things and headed off to class.
art class was the usual fun. earring was there and we had fun running around and shrieking together. today we painted and then turned out painting into beads for a weird kind of bracelet. i left that up to mom once the scissors came out i was all about cutting things.
after class mom and i went home. i watched spongebob and played with my new barnfarm. what a very cool toy. i really dig it. mom was all- everyone loves the barnfarm. i had a nap so i could stay up later and spend time with dad. yesterday i was asleep pretty much right after he got home.
now it's afternoon time. i'm just going to pretend farm some more and wait until dad comes home. mom and i had an alright day.

phew i've had a busy day. got up this morning and mom and dad were all- i love, oh i love you too. blah blah blah. there was kissing and hugging, you know, gross stuff i had to watch while my breakfast cooked.
dad went off to work and i hung out watching spongebob while mom got ready for the day. we got dressed and hit the grocery stores. mom said we needed stuff for our secret surprise cake we were going to make for dad. whatever lady. so we got the stuff mom needed and i talked her into visiting the charity shops. mom found a bunch of stuff for me. i got a new hat and mitten/globs( sometimes they are mittens, sometimes they are globs) for next winter. then mom found a build your own clock kit for little kids. and i got a star puzzle. you place the colored triangles a certain way and it makes a star.
after the shops we went home. mom hooked me up with some peanut butter and jelly. oh so delicious. mom opened up a card that jammma sent. it was a nice card, it had sparkles and hearts. i played with my toys while mom did stuff. mom tried to make me take a nap but i said- screw that. i got out of bed and goofed off in my room. mom came in to tell me off and i pleaded with her- give me another chance, give me another chance. mom was all- i smell poops.
i never did take my nap. mom changed me and i just went right back to goofing off. i played nicely in my room while mom made her secret cake. chocolate cake? no, harwick cake? no. candles? presents? no. special i love you cake for mom and dad. humph. chocolate cake? chocolate cake? just go to sleep please. no.
at 4 i left my room and went back to the livingroom to play more toys and watch afternoon shows. i don't really watch them, they just run in the background while i do stuff. mom worked on making some dinner.
i made more poops. i made lots of poops today. mom said i should stop after number 5 and save some for tomorrow. good plan mom, good plan.
dad came home and i tried to talk him into some chocolate cake and candle but he didn't go for it. i tried to get some special i love you cake off him but no luck there either. mom said i could have a little bit tomorrow. chocolate cake? no, carrot cake. mom made carrot cake today. you can't make carrots into cake, that's just not right. dad was all- carrot cake, my favorite. i love you. and mom was all i love you too. gag, just like this morning. i'm going to get blueberry and go to bed.

today has gone remarkably well for a monday. dad went off to work. mom and i hung out doing morning things. we got dressed and walked around town. mom and i went to the charity shops first. we walked around and looked at stuff. mom found something to buy for my arts and crafts stash. i took it up to the counter and told the lady- buy please. she told me how much it was, 39p- 25p? 25p, 25p. i dug around in my pocket looking for money. mom ended up paying for it since it really wasn't 25p, it was 39p. i just have a weird habit of thinking everything costs 25p. it was only after we left the store i found my money- 2p. mittens make finding pocket money hard. in another shop i found a misses pete in the 10p bin. misses pete is pete's mom. my mom said i could buy it so she gave me 10p and i took misses pete up to the counter. the girl said- oh very nice, 10p please. and so i pushed my 10p across the counter to her. the money dropped in the drawer and i got my receipt. i stuck misses pete in my pocket and off mom and i went. we did the grocery shopping and got stuff we needed.
got home and mom made me some lunch. i played with my toys for awhile. mom said i had to do nap time, no excuses. so i got blueberry and pete. i read pete a quick story and we all had a good nap.
afternoon time now. mom asked if i wanted to go out again and walk around, no. i'm happy enough popping bubble wrap and playing cars.
