(blueberry wanted to get his picture taken today.)
i got to have a nice chat with jammma and grdad on the phone. i couldn't call them the other day because i was too sick. it's no fun to talk with someone when you keep having big coughing fits and yellow slime is oozing out of your nose. today those issues have pretty much cleared up so mom said we could call them.
not long after talking with them there was a rattling at the door and in walked dad! my daddy is home! whoo-hoo. that was super exciting. him and mom had a chat while i snuggled next to him and played with my toys. i'm so glad dad is home.
i  have to say even though i still have a cold, today has been alright.

sunday? is it sunday? doesn't feel like a sunday. mr hoover never came to suck up crumbs. i feel gross. i've been coughing a lot and lots of snot is coming out of my nose. blah. i'm going to get blueberry and spend the day sitting on the couch watching spongebob.

it's saturday. it's pouring down rain outside. i am feeling rather blah. i am full of snotty grossness. mom says my cough sounds like i smoke two packs a day. i keep asking mom for freezer pops. so far no luck getting one. i got some juice and medicine. dad is off on his business trip. what the hell. he's taking forever to get home from work.
mom says we're going to spend the day snuggled up on the couch watching tv. sounds good to me.

ok day today. i miss my dad. mom says he made it safe and sound to his hotel and sends me lots of hi fives.
just me and mom doing morning things then. mom did me up my breakfast and then made something for herself. she made a breakfast just like dad makes. oooohf. i hope dad comes home soon.
after breakfast mom and i got dressed and walked around town. we bought grapes from the veglady. 2 huge containers for £1! i love grapes.  we went to the shops looking for cool stuff. mom bought a bunch of random things. she got this big blue thing which she says will be a great game for my birthday party. ok, whatever  mom, my birthday was the other day. kinda late now for games to play. she picked up a couple books that auntie amy might like. i did get a cool jump rope. i've been doing pretend skipping. if i find a stray piece of string i pick it up and wave it over my head while i hop and say- look mom, i'm skipping rope. mom find this rather funny and a little sad so today when there was a real jump rope on the shelf, she bought it for me. mom also got me something called a booster seat. seems i'm ready to get out of my baby car seat and into a big boy car safety seat. my baby seat can now go live at jammma and grdad's house. i guess elenor can use it when i'm not around. i guess.
mom and i took all the shopping home. i ate some lunch and watched the usual shows while i played toys. nothing super exciting about my afternoon. i had a nap. got up and ate my dinner. i asked mom if we could go to the park for football. mom said- sure why not. so we got our stuff together and went to the park. i kicked the ball around the field a little. we went over to the little kid area. there were lots of kids running around in there. i was a little put off but i really wanted to climb the rope ladder so we staid. there were some fences up in the kid area too. mom said it looked like the workmen are putting in a few more rides. interesting.
had fun at the park. mom and i got home just in time for chigwee. i'm going to watch that and then mom said we could watch pingu.

today i am feeling better. i got plenty of rest yesterday and more rest today.
i woke mom up super early, like 4am. i realized dad wasn't around and went to find her to see what the hell was going on. where's my dad? mom said that he left for his business trip and we would see him again in a few days. without saying good bye and giving me lots of kisses? i made sad faces at mom and curled up next to her. i went back to sleep and mom and i didn't get up until like 8.30am. ahhhh nice lazy morning.
mom made me my usual oatmeal and mashed banana. i ate it all up. we watched our morning shows and played toys. i really wanted to play trains but mom said- how about we go to playgroup instead? PLAYGROUP!
so we got dressed and walked across the road to playgroup. we got there a little late but that's ok. i played nice with the other kids. i had m snack. all the toys went away and we had a special visitor- the yoga lady. she tried to get us all to do bendy stretchy things. i wasn't interested. i just ran around and goofed off. and that was that.
after playgroup mom and i just went home. i ate a little of my samich. i wasn't too hungry for lunch. i played for awhile and did nap time. i had a really long nap. mom let me sleep.
i keep waiting for dad to get home. chigwee is on now, he's usually home by now. mom says he won't be back for a few days. booo.

i have playgroup cooties! i am sick. booo. it all started to go wrong yesterday afternoon. i woke up from my nap feeling blah. blah. i just sat in bed for awhile thinking and being quiet. mom finally came and got me up. i sat on the couch and played with toys. i got really whiny at mom. she felt my head and said- you're hot. i got some medicine and a freezer pop. whooooo, freezer pop. i liked that. i sucked it down and perked right up.
i woke up this morning super early. i was sooo hot. i got out of bed and woke mom up- i neeeed my juuuuucy. ok ok. mom got up and got me some more medicine and cold juicy. i curled up on the couch with her and went back to sleep. i got up around 9 and still didn't feel great. i just made a nest of pillows and blankets on the floor. i sat in the middle and played with my spongebob toys.
mom made me a frozen banana for breakfast. it was awesome. i didn't know you could freeze a banana. i had another freezer pop for lunch and other light snack kind of things. mom keeps insisting i drink. drink drink drink. meh
i had a good long nap. that was nice. mom woke me up at the usual time but i didn't want to move. i just staid in bed thinking and feeling sick. mom said i could have another freezer pop if i got up. um, ok. i am liking these freezer pops. i've had assorted things for dinner. i got some apricots and raisins to go with my cheese sticks and oatie bars. mom is all- it's your favorite stuff and it adds up to a nice balanced meal. my medicine is kicking in so i feel a little better. i'm going to play trucks and wait for dad to get home. mom says he is off on a trip later. i am going to miss him soooo much.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
i got presents. the mailman just came so i got my package and cards from jammma and grdad. PINGU!
I GOT TO EAT CAKE!!

after cake mom and dad took me to the park for a good run around

i have to say it was an alright birthday. i was a little bummed that there were no decorations. i kept asking mom- where's the decorations. mom was all- decorations will be at jammma and grdad's house. mom based birthdays are more about good food and awesome cakes. i got to eat all my favorite things today.
i got some cool gifts. mom pulled out a couple cars that dana bunny sent me. i got a UPS delivery van and a stockcar racer- which looks just like an AA car so i keep going around the house saying: AA for the road ahead.(AA is like the AAA and it turns out hardwick knows their commercials by heart.)
i got a great thomas the train bed set and fleecy blanket. thomas! i also got new bathtime friends- some fish and a turtle.

just your usual kind of monday. mom and i went around the shops this morning. i picked out a little truck for my good boy reward. it's a big rig, just the rig no trailer. i slept all night in my own bed so mom said i could have a new car. big boys are supposed to sleep in their own beds. blah. i like snuggling. i'm not sure i'm ready to be a big boy yet. mom says i don't have much choice, tomorrow is my birthday.
hung out with mom playing with my microscope, cars and watching spongebob. i am loving my microscope. i've been carrying it around for the past 2 days. i had a nap. i ate my dinner. mom took me to the park. i had loads of fun there. i do like finishing my day with a trip to the park. i blew a bunch of bubbles. i made some super big ones- as big as my head! bubble time got cut short though because i decided to start tasting the bubble juice. i tried to be sneaky about it but mom saw what i was up to. i stuck my fingers in the bubble juice and then sucked it off my fingers. i told mom it was delicious but really it was kind of gross. mom took me over to play on the rides. i climbed up the rope ladder and slid down the pole- just like a fireman. i did that loads. i also did the swings and the slide. mom and i were at the park for ages waiting for dad to stop by. finally it got late and mom said- let's just go home, maybe dad is there already. and he was! dad was home eating his dinner and watching chigwee when got back. he said he walked through the park but didn't see us.
dad said that he had to go back to work right after dinner. noooooooo. don't leave me daddy. i made sad faces and got really upset that dad was leaving again. mom said for a special just this once treat since it's my birthday, we could go with dad and hang out in his office. AWESOME! dad's office is at the top of the building. we had to take this broken down looking wooden steps all the way up. mom was not impressed. i looked out the window and saw the lights of exeter. soooo cool. i held blueberry up so he could look out the window too. we waved at exeter and said- hello world. after dad was done he came and got us. he showed me around the lab. i saw some of his fish friends. i am not sure they are actually fish though. they were not moving their tails. fish move their tails. these ones were  just sitting on the bottom of the tank.
now it's really way past my bedtime. blueberry and i are off to sleep.

sunday! the best part of today was spending time with my dad. we did some cool stuff today.
dad went to the gym and called mom on his way to home say that alec was coming home too and we were all going shopping at the cash and carry. whoo-hoo. i rode around in the cart while dad pushed and alec walked next to us. mom wandered off on her own. we talked about guy stuff while mom did the gathering. alec is funny. he makes me laugh.
after the cash and carry we dropped alec off at home. bye bye alec. we went home and mom made me some lunch. i ate it up and mom insisted on me taking a nap. grrr. stupid nap. mr hoover came and sucked up the crumbs. i got up and dad said- let's go feed ducks. whoo-hoo. so we all got in the car and drove up to dad's work. we stomped around the different little pounds and fed the ducks bread and cornflakes. a couple of the pounds had fish in them and they came to eat the treats too. i saw the fish swimming and moving their tails. it was awesome.
i had a great time visiting the fake countryside. now it's time for food and a bath.

it's saturday, you know the drill. everyone ate breakfast. everyone got dressed. everyone went grocery shopping. mom took me to visit the fish at the pet store. they were swimming.
got home and dad went off to work. mom and i walked around town. not much going on in town today. it's super warm out and loads of people are doing their shopping. mom said- that's our cue to go home. mom and i hung out watching spongebob. i find patrick and squibworb to be particularly funny.
so the day went pretty alright. i did give mom a hard time about naps. i don't want to take naps. they get in the way of my goofing off. but i did take a nap because mom said- no park if i didn't.
had dinner and mom got me ready for the park. i asked if i could ride my motor bike. mom said- yes, but you have to stop when i say stop and listen. ok mommy, i will. we got to the park and i just took off. mom was shouting at me and i just ignored her and carried on. blah blah blah, can't hear you mom. unfortunately for me, mom finally caught up. she made me get off the motor bike and then she picked it. i got grabbed by the collar and hauled home. when dad came home he found me sitting on the couch looking sad. mom told him what happen and he said the worst thing dads can possibly say- i'm very disappointed in you. hoooof.

been keeping mom busy. this morning we went out for our usual morning walk. we visited the pound store and mom bought a huge bottle of bubble juice. awesome! that should last me through the summer. all bubbles all the time. we stopped by the vegstore. mom was all- cheap bananas and peppers! we visited a few charity shops. mom bought me a book called an atlas. she said it could come in handy during the world cup so i can see where all these different countries are. that sounds vaguely educational.
after the shops mom was all- let's go do something fun. playgroup? playgroup playgroup playgroup. um, no. how about arts and crafts. i'm listening, keep talking lady. arts and crafts i like arts and crafts. mom and i walked down to the make art shop. no one else was there, just me and mom. the shop lady said today's little kid project was making butterflies. i like butterflies. i sat in the chair and cut paper and spread glue all over the table. mom made the butterfly. i got a big glass full of orange juice. the shop girl even gave me a straw, just how i like it. i got tired of making a mess so i went and chatted to the shop girl. i told her how i go to monkey class and pointed out all the different colors around the room.
mom and i finished up our project and headed home. on the way mom said she was super hungry, how about a little treat? we went into this place burger king. we stood in line and i just kept asking over and over- what's the smell? what's that smell? mom ordered some food and we sat in the fancy chairs by the window. i watched the buses go by while munching french fries. i ate a couple bites off mom's veggie burger too- it was alright.
got home just in time for peanut butter and jelly samiches.  cool. right now mom is all- it's nap time. blah blah blah. i am so not taking a nap today. screw that.

 i did have a little sleep. i was not happy when mom woke me up.

 (mom took a picture of me reading a bed time story to blueberry. see him there with his head on the pillow? i tucked him in and gave him a kiss and then read him a story.)
today we went to PLAYGROUP!
mom and i went out and did the usual walk around town. blah blah blah. we went to some stores and bought different things. after everything was done mom asked me if i wanted to keep shopping or did i want to go to try out a new playgroup? PLAYGROUP! all the way down the street i talked about playgroup. we're going to try it out, we're going to go find it. we're going to play nice with other kids. playgroup, playgroup. playgroup.
mom and i went to this church around the corner from our house. we walked in the church. it was dark but kind of cool. there were lots of carvings and stuff to look at. i could hear kids playing but didn't see them anywhere. where's the playgroup? where's the kids? mom was all- i don't know we have to find them but first we are looking around the church. PLAYGROUP. ok ok, fine. mom and i went back outside and down the church path. we tried a few doors but they were locked. then, we found the basement door. mom peeked down- i see buggies. whooo-hooo. found it!
so mom and i went in. it's just a small group and i am the biggest kid there. i just went barging right in while mom talked to the tea lady. i'm not shy. i found a cool car to ride on and did that for awhile. they had a big table full of playdough things. mom sat there and watched me. i played at the sand table. they have a sand table! i also played in the pop-up post office. i pushed toy eggs through the letter slot. i played really nice with the other kids. mom only had to tell me off once when she caught me knocking over this girl's block tower. i had to say sorries to the girl. come on, it was a block tower. you build them to knock them over.
next week the playgroup is having a yoga teacher come in and the week after is a big trip to a farm. mom was all- that's pretty good for £1. she says we can go back. the kids all seem nice. a few of them were there with their nannies, so the chav factor is low.
playgroup was good and i was sad when it was over. mom and i walked across the street and went home for lunch. i ate my samich. i played with my toys and then it was nap time. no naps, no park later.
got up and mom said we had to go buy bread. so we got ready and walked down to tesco for bread. picked up a few other things like mom usually does.
mom did dinner and i ate it all up. very tasty. when i was done mom and i went to the park. i like going to the park. i blew bubbles and ran around chasing them. dad showed up. hi dad!
now it's time for quiet and bed. another day over.

this is what i get up to instead of doing my nap. i put my socks on my hands and sing songs.

busy day, busy day. last night i was up until 11pm. mom was not thrilled since her bed time is 10pm. i just didn't want to go to sleep. but i did eventually. got up this morning and just did the usual things. ate my breakfast, played with my toys, watched my morning shows.
mom and i went to monkey class since it's tuesday snooze-day and that's what we do. i chatted to the other moms before class. i told them all about how i called my jammma and grdad on the phone and talked to them in derby. i also told how i play football and scored a goal. i showed them my flashing football shoes. i said my dad was at work and he's the tickle monster. we ended up talking about peppa pig, everyone likes peppa pig.
i was good in class. i left my mom sitting on her fish and went off to talk to grace's mom.(she's got long blonde hair and sparkley rings. i reeeeealy like talking with her.) today we talked about colors. sonja held up cards and we had to say what color they were. i know my colors. no one else was shouting them out, just me. i did sit with my mom to play instruments.
after class mom and i did the shopping. nothing exciting there.
had an ok afternoon. mom insisted i take a nap but i soo didn't want to. i just slept a little while before getting up and playing with my toys some more. mom did me some dinner. i ate it up and then it was time for fun. mom took me to the park. awesome! today we took my practice cones and a football in addition to my bubbles and squirt gun. i had a great time playing. dad met us. i showed him how i do the cones. he just shook his head and laughed at me. mom went off to cook dad's dinner so us guys could stay at the park a little longer and do fun stuff.
it's been a pretty nice day.

monday run-day. just the usual kind of day. mom and i walked around town doing the shops. we went to see the veglady but she wasn't there. i got a little upset about that. mom was all- it's cool. during the summer they usually take monday's off, no big deal. but it is a big deal. there's something different with my routine. i'm having a cry about it day. i'm getting upset and crying about all kinds of little random things. mom says it's because i didn't get enough sleep last night. more sleep is mom's general cure for everything.
mom found a few things in the shops. i got a few new shirts and a pair of swim trunks. mom says you can never have enough swim trunks when you go to the seaside. mom also got a couple books. that's it really. i had fun chatting with the different shop ladies. i told them how i was dressed like my grdad today and he lives in derby.
got home and mom made me some lunch. i had my nap and yes, i felt better when i got up. stupid mom, always right.
ate dinner. it was good. i told mom that jammma made it, made it for me to eat. mom was all- oh really. mom said since i was pretty good today we could go to the park. awesome! we took my bubble juice and mom called dad to tell him where we would be. i ran around the park and had a great time. i instructed mom on how to blow bubbles. you take the blower, take a deep breath and then blow. bubbles float away. simple. i didn't let mom blow any bubble though. i blow the bubbles! dad came and i showed him how to blow the bubbles. i was a little sad when it was time to go home since i wanted to stay and go on the roundyround. but mom was all- we've got to go make dad's dinner and call grdad and jammma. oh, ok.
mom put dad's dinner in the oven and then helped me talk on the phone. i had a nice chat with grdad and jammma. i told them about going to the park and other stuff i've been doing. now it's time for hanging out with dad before bed.

sunday. same old sunday. dad went to the gym. i walked around town with mom. we ate lunch. dad came home and mr hoover sucked up the crumbs. everyone had a nap. the best part of the day was after dinner. mom and dad agreed we could go to the park. so we all got ready and went off to the park. mom brought the bubble juice and i got to blow bubbles. i ran around and had fun.
it's bath time now. that means more BUBBLES!

saturday means car ride to the grocery stores and a visit to the fishes! helped dad push the cart around while mom put random things in. groceries don't get exciting until mom turns them into tasty treats. i have fun hanging out with my dad though. we talk about stuff. he answers my "what's that" questions.
i love visiting the fish at the pet store next to aldi. there is a whole wall of tanks and i go by looking in them all. so many fish all wiggling their tails. mom always tries to get me to talk to the furry things but i'm not interested. bunnies don't move their tails to swim. they just hop around and twitch their noses. the rats sit there and stare back at you, kind of creepy. i'm all about the fishes.
said goodbye to the fish and went back home. dad put the stuff away and then went off to do his usual saturday things. i went to town with mom for a walk around. not much going on in town. we stopped in a few shops.
went home and mom made me some lunch. mom and i are just going to hang out watching spongebob. i think patrick is hysterical.

mom got her super special package today. now we don't have to spend our mornings sitting around for the postman to show up and can go do other stuff. other than that, nothing exciting about friday. mom and i wandered around town for a bit, picked up things on the shopping list. blah blah blah.
i've just been playing with my toys and watching my shows. i do pretend stuff. i like to play postman. i stand at my post office station and stamp letters, then i stuff them in the back of my big post lorry and drive my truck all over the room. every once in awhile i shout at mom- i'm delivering the mail. i also like to play roadworks crew. i've got lots of fun toys.

today is not going my way.
last night was pretty horrible. i woke up in the middle of the night with a bad coughing fit. i crawled into bed with dad and just coughed and coughed. dad was not thrilled. mom brought me some water. i kept coughing. mom dragged me out of bed and gave me a bunch of medicine. i went back to sleep with dad, my cough went away. next thing i know dad is dragging me out of bed and we're grumbling at mom- the bed's wet, the water leaked. grrrrrr. so mom stripped the wet clothes off me, dad went back to bed and i had to sleep with mom. no one was happy when it was finally time to get up for real.
then later mom and i had a huge bust up while getting ready to go out this morning. i was messing around and being uncooperative. i thought it would be fun to spit a giant loogie on mom.  needless to say she was not impressed. i've never had my shoes and coat stripped off before in my life, i'm pretty sure one of my feets is still in the sneaker. mom told me to go sit in my room while she cleaned the spit off. i started screeching, ear splittingly loud shrieks. that went over even worse than the spitting. i got my butt plopped down in the naughty chair and i had to sit there for 3 minutes. then mom and i had a little chat about what i did wrong. i had to say sorry.
mom said since i did my time in the naughty chair and said the i'm sorrys we could try again with the going for a walk idea. this time went much better. i got my shoes and jacket on without any trouble. i helped mom do bins out and then we set off on our morning walk, just a little late. we stopped off and visited the veg lady. mom scored cheap bananas. everyone loves cheap bananas. we visited a couple of my favorite shops. i saw a couple cool things but mom was all- we're only buying clothes and books. so i ended up getting a few new shirts and mom got a couple books she likes.
i started acting up in the stores, trying to pull things off the hangers, falling over and refusing to leave when mom said it was time. that kind of thing put a stop to visiting the charity shops for the day. i had to go help mom get milk and then we went home. grrrrr. i wanted to do more shops.
the rest of the day has been passable. mom has been letting me do my own thing. i've played nicely with my toys and just been making noise. i've been making lots and lots of noise, nothing very loud just constantly annoying. i'm just killing time until dad gets home and i can complain to him how unjust mom is.

ugh. i guess mom is in no mood for goofing off. we went out for our usual walk this morning. the idea was to get the groceries, a new watch battery and then hit the charity shops for cool stuff. we got the groceries and watch battery, no problem. we went in one charity shop. i wanted this little plastic windmill. mom wouldn't buy it for me so i was humphed. we went into the oxfam bookstore to look around. mom asked me to sit quietly in the chair while she looked at stories. i thought it would be more fun to flick juicy from my drink bottle all over the floor and chair. it was good fun until mom saw what i was doing. she instantly frog marched me out of the shop. i started screaming at her. i got told off in the street. i cried and screamed. mom said no more shops and i screamed even louder. i cried all the way home but mom didn't care. no more shops means no more shops, screaming at mom does not change her mind.

today is monkey class. mom and i went and got there a bit early. i sat on the steps outside the room and drank my juicey. some of the other kids showed up with their moms. i chatted with all the moms. i was showing off my new flashing shoes and maade general conversation. i showed one mom my pants pocket and told her money goes in there. i told another mom that my dad was the tickle monster but he was at work. my mom just sat on the stairs and giggled. during class i was a good boy. i pretended to be a wiggly worm for the first part of class. i sat on my fish and played my instruments. if you don't sit on a fish, no banging the drum. that's the rule according to mom. today we got drums, bells, maracas and castanets. i like playing all those things. at the end i popped a load of bubbles.
after class mom and i did the chores. we bought some bread. we picked up a few things at the vegstand. finally mom took me to the poundstore and i got to pick out  a brand new truck. it was a special treat for sleeping all night in my own bed. i got a cement mixer. oh yeah. i know i already have one but i think i left it at jammma and grdad's house after my last visit. i realllllly want another one so that's what i picked.
ate lunch and spent the afternoon hanging out with mom and doing naps. nothing super exciting happened until after dinner. mom said since it was still sort of nice out we could go run around the park. so we dug a football out of the closet and went out to have some fun. we pretty much had the place to ourselves. i kicked my ball all around. i went on a couple of the rides too. i stopped to stamp on dandelions. that was fun, you stamp them and they burst apart in a cloud of white puffs. mom and i had just left the park when dad showed up. he caught us and we were able to all walk home together. i showed dad my football kicking skills and just as important my diving skills. i'm getting really good at fake falling.
now i'm home and it's time for milk and a quick snack before bed.

monday run-day. i'm working on learning my days of the week. according to the book monday is run-day. i did a little running. mom and i had our usual walk around the shops today. we found a couple cool things. i got an awesome toolbox. it looks just like the one dad keeps his tools in. it's been sitting in one of the shops for a few weeks now. mom finally decided to check it out today. she opened it up and it's full of clay tools for playdough fun. mom said- ok, we'll get it.
did the usual lunch, play and nap. mom said after dinner we could go out and run around the park. so i ate all my dinner up and we got ready to go out. i asked to take my motorbike and mom said- ok. awesome. i love riding my motorbike. we got to the park and i just took off. i didn't listen to mom when she said stop. i didn't wait for her when i realized i was too far ahead. i just kept rolling along until i got to where i wanted to be- in the little patch of woods. i was on one side of the park and mom was on the opposite side. oh she was not happy. when mom finally caught up with me i got such a telling off and my motorbike got taken away. there was crying. i did get to stay at the park and run around though. mom and i went home when it started to get dark. we ran into dad on his way out to look for us. he said he got home and no one was there, what the heck?

dad is busy working on a project. he doesn't really have time for fun today. booo. i've had to do the usual stuff with mom. we walked around town this morning. the weather is blah. i'm just going to watch spongebob and play.

did the saturday grocery shopping with mom and dad. we sent to aldi first and bought stuff on mom's list. after we paid mom took me over to visit the fish in the pet store while dad packed things up. i looooove visiting the fish. there were all kinds of baby rabbits in the shop today. mom kept trying to get me to check them out. i was so not interested. fish fish fish. i watched the fish swimming around. the fish watched me, thinking i was going to give them treats. hello fishes.
after the fishes we went to sainsbury's. nothing really exciting to report about that. mom bought more stuff on her list and then we pack everything in the car and drove home.
dad put the groceries away and shuffled off to work. mom and i went for our walk around town. we stopped and gave some pocket change to the Buddhist monk. mom says he just spends all his time walking around england and praying for peace. if we give him change our karma score goes up. i don't know what that means but mom says it's a good thing. mom and i went to our usual shops. we found a couple books. yeah, books. in one shop mom spotted a pair of shoes. she looked at them- hum, 8.5 those will fit hardwick. hardwick? i'm hardwick. mom is going to buy me shoes. i looked them over. football shoes. i dropped one on the ground and all kinds of lights started flashing. oh my freaken god! LIGHT-UP FOOTBALL SHOES! i don't think there is any thing more awesome than that. mom was all: light up football shoes that only cost £1.25, definitely rule. i got new shoes.
in the last shop mom found a bag of stuff she was all- £1.25 sure why not, she wouldn't let me see what it was though. so we finished our shopping and headed home. i rifled through the bags and dug out my new shoes. i dropped them on the floor over and over so they would light up. mom told me off and said i was just wasting the batteries. mom dug out the secret bag and dumped it out onto the floor. what the freaken hell is that? tinker toys mom called them.(they're not actual tinker toys. they're BRIO building sets) whatever the heck they are, they freaken rule. i spent all day building stuff. mom said tomorrow we can go buy a special box to put everything in.

jammma and grdad had to go home this afternoon. boooo. i did get to spend a fun morning with them walking around town. jammma hooked up with an awesome pair of red boots. i am going to look so cool puddle jumping.
feeling kind of blah today. my nose is stuffly. i ate my lunch ok and mom sent me off to bed even though i really wanted to go play in the park. she was all- rest rest rest. humph. for the most part i've just played with my toys quietly in the livingroom. i've kept mom busy changing my diapers. 4 poops today. hahahaha.

today i am off on a super secret adventure with jammma and grdad. they came for me after breakfast time.(this visit they are staying across the street at something called a B+B.) i peed on the floor again this morning- twice. mom slapped some diapers on me. grdad got me dressed and jammma made a picnic. the three of us are going out for fun. mom is going to do something unfun i'm sure. later

SURPRISE JAMMMA AND GRDAD VISIT! mom and i were hanging out this morning watching our morning shows and doing housework related things when there was a knock on the door. mom went to see who it was. she came back and jammma was behind her. i was shocked. jammma was the last person i expected to see today. a little while later grdad showed up too. awesome.
jammma and grdad took me out to have fun while mom staid home to do boring stuff. we walked around town and played in the parks.

today i am all about peeing on the floor. no reason, just because. i peed on the floor twice today. mom took away two stars. yeah whatever. i can always make more pee and get those stars back another time.
mom and i went to monkey class this morning. i was good. i did my dances and sang the songs. i didn't run around the room too much. a few bigger kids have joined the class so it's not all babies. one girl just stood in the middle of the circle and said- bubbles, bubbles, bubbles over and over. dude, bubbles come at the end, everyone knows that. i popped a load of bubbles.
after class mom and i hit the grocery store and then a few shops. my favorite stores were open today. mom got a book for me about this dude jesus and the guys who followed him around. mah.
that's about it really.

so far not a bad day for a monday. mom made me sleep in my own bad last night. i had the last laugh though. i gave her a hard time for like an hour and a half. i don't like my bed. i don't like my bed. over and over again. i mixed a few i'm sorries here and there in case that would improve things, no luck. i tried to plead with dad out in the livingroom. he wouldn't come and save me. finally i just gave up and went to sleep. i hate when mom wins. i ended up waking in the middle of the night and i crawled into bed with dad anyway. screw you mom.
i did get some sleep though and i'm in a pretty good mood. it's one of those weird ass smundays. stupid bank holidays. i'm never sure which day it really is. mom and i walked around town this morning. some of our usual shops were open but most of the good ones weren't. i was rather annoyed. all we could find to buy was a book called 'jesus and the 12 dudes who followed him'. seriously, that's what it's called.

today has not been a very good day for me.  mom and i went out for a walk around town while dad was at the gym. she would not let me do what i wanted so i gave her a hard time. she scruffed me and dragged me all the way home. i screamed at her the whole walk. get your hands off my jacket, i want to go to the shops, i'm sorry. anything i could think of to get her to let me go and so we could go back to shopping. mom did not care. she told me if i could not behave in public then i didn't deserve to be let out of the house. no one was interested in listening to my nonsense. so we got home. i was informed that even though i thought i was a big boy, i still had to do what mom said. if she said- no running around the store, that meant no running around the store. if she said- hold my hand and stand quietly, that meant hold hands and stand quietly. mom said i should go sit in bed and think about what it means to be a good boy. most of the issue is i haven't been getting enough sleep lately. mom informed me that tonight i would sleep in my own bed, no excuses.
i sat in my room for a bit. dad came home and saw me looking pathetic. he told mom he felt sorry for me. she set dad straight on who he should be feeling sorry for and it wasn't me. mom made me some lunch. dad pushed mr hoover around and i got to have a turn. mr hoover isn't so scary.
mom and i goofed around making funny faces and taking pictures.

after that i had to take my nap. blah. got up and dad had my trains all set up. played trains with dad and hung out with him. that's my favorite part of sundays. i get to spend loads of time with  my dad.
gave me a hard time at dinner. i didn't want the beef stew she was serving. so i got dismissed from the table and the tv got turned off. grdad and jammma called. i talked with them on the phone. i told them all about my new car. when i was done talking mom said i could try eating dinner again. oh ok. this time i ate it all up and got the tv back and all my after dinner treats. now i'm stuffed full of food, the last thing to do before bed is- splash in the bath. i'm off to get clean.

i put some poops in the potty, yes i did.
yup. poops came out of my butt and landed in the potty. there was lots of hi fives and awesomes. i was super excited. mom said i still had to take a nap though.
had my nap and mom took me out when i got up to go buy a new car. you poop in the potty, you get a new car. so we walked around the shop. there were lots of cool cars to choose from. i picked a red race car. it is super cool.

those were the big highlights from my day. the usual saturday stuff went on. everyone got up. breakfast was eaten. we took a car ride to the grocery store and did some shopping. dad went off to work. mom and i walked around town. it kind of rained.
