Run Daddy Run!

Today Daddy was up and out of the house early. He had a date in Liverpool with a half marathon. It was lovely day for run, the sun was out but not to warm or cool. Daddy improved by 21 minutes on the half marathon he did 2 months ago - well done Daddy! He is doing another in a month, will he improve by that much again??



While Daddy was running, Mummy and I went to visit William and Lindy. We missed William's birthday on Monday because Mummy was sick. It was so much fun playing with William's toys; I didn't want to get off his Pooh ride-on. I screamed when Mummy took me off, but I quickly calmed down when I realised we were going for a walk to the park! The swing is no match for the slide these days!


I was pooped after my morning of playing, and had a BIG (2.5 hours) lunchtime nap! Then it was off to David Lloyd, where I got to play with Sam and Mummy and Daddy had coffee with Ellie and Paul. My rocking horse there rocks, it is my favourite of all the toys!


Yesterday I got to have some quality time with Daddy, and then in the afternoon we all went swimming together. I really enjoyed doing 'Humpty Dumpty', and jumping into the water from the side of the pool. I also enjoyed playing with the other boys in girls in the toddler pool, particularly chasing them!!

Fun Day

What a busy day Mummy and I had today, but boy it was fun!

This morning I had a nice lie-in. Much needed after a disrupted week of sleeping. I've had a bad cough that has kept me awake, but I now have antibiotics making me better and I am sleeping well again. Hoorah!

After breakfast Mummy let me wander about outside while she hung the washing out. First we were out the back, and Costa was there too. He wasn't really in the mood for playing with me, and he kept hiding behind the daffodils! We also went out the front, and there I had fun playing in the mud. It was time for a quick change when we finally went back inside!


After my lunchtime nap it was off to celebrate Harry's 1st birthday. He had a 'Tumbletots' party, and there was so much stuff for me to climb up, over and through! It was lots of fun, I didn't stop for 2 hours! I also really enjoyed playing with my other friends there. We kept ourselves entertained so our Mummies could chat. I did rest nice and quietly in the car on the way home!

Daddy got home from work early today. He decided to give himself an early mark since there was no-one else in the office. It was great having Daddy for some extra time today, and I especially liked it when he was hiding from me and would pop up!

Last night I had many red spots on my bottom. Mummy thought I might be coming down with Chicken Pox, but they have cleared up somewhat today, so hopefully a false alarm. I don't like feeling poorly.

Weekend with Isobel

On Friday night we packed up the car and headed down to Seagrave to visit Mummy's friend Isobel. We went there last November, and I was looking forward to playing with Deano, her dog again!

I was very good in the car this time, and I slept most of the way. Mummy and Daddy were very pleased!

I had a big sleep in until 9am on Saturday ... all this travelling wears a little girl out! Then it was down to meet Isobel and Deano again. I was a little scared of Deano at first, but after a few minutes I started having fun with him, and throwing the ball for him to catch! The other thing that caught my eye was Isobel's spices, and I had such fun arranging them all!

Deano wanted to play, but I was too busy!

Daddy was spoilt and was cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast, and then we all had a roast chicken for lunch. Yum yum!

In the afternoon we went for a drive. It started to rain and wasn't very nice outside. When we got to Oakham Water we went for a short walk, but ducked inside to stay dry. Back in the car, but I wasn't really very happy to be there again. When we got home I got to have a bit of a play which was great, and Isobel even read me a story! Lucky me!

I was being naughty and kept running away from Mummy so she couldn't put my PJs on! He he!

Sunday we were up and at it (after another 9am sleep-in) and off for a walk around Seagrave. After yesterday's rain it was lovely and sunny. We found some swing for me to play on too. When we got back we went outside; we played with Deano and I practiced walking on the grass. A couple of very wobbly steps to Mummy before crashing into her! I really prefer to hold her hands!

Then it was home again, but not before roast lamb for lunch! Hmmm, roast! I was suitably worn out and slept a bit and rested quietly in my car seat. We had a bit of a play at home and I was pooped, ready for bed again!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hip hip horay for Mummy!

Today is Mother's Day, and I have a super Mummy. We were very busy at nursery making things for her; potting seeds, a card and cupcake ... lucky Mummy! Also, I was a very clever girl and sent Daddy out to the shops, so that he could buy a present for Mummy. She has some nice new silky PJs now!


As a treat for us, Mummy cooked Daddy and I a lamb roast for lunch, yum yum!

We were going to go out for the afternoon, but I was very very tired. After a big sleep we decided to go to the pool for a swim. I was showing Daddy how I am getting very good at walking in the water without my arm bands on! Still got to practice a bit more for land though!

Yesterday we went to Leila's 1st Birthday Party. I had lots of fun playing with her toys and all the other children! We then went out for dinner, but I was a bit full from all the party snacks! So was Daddy!! He he!

A Trip to the Peak District

Mummy and Daddy decided it was time we had a weekend escape; Mummy found us a cheap hotel at the last minute, we packed the car and off we went! We were going to Ringinglow on the edge of the Peak District!

Well, I was a bit miserable in the car. We spent soo long looking for Mummy's wallet, that I got too tired for sleep. Luckily though we did find it at the gym, she left it there when we went swimming today. Opps! Eventually though I did drop off, thankfully, because I think I was wearing everyones patience pretty thin. Oh dear!

On Saturday we woke up to grey skies, a bit of drizzle and light snow, but it was so lovely to be somewhere different. The hotel was great; we had a big room that I could run amuck in! Daddy decided that since this was our first weekend escape, we should treat ourselves to breakfast in the pub. Yum yum, I really liked the cooked mushrooms and baked beans! I kept stealing the mushrooms from Mummy's plate.

We went for a morning drive to get ourselves orientated (Mummy and Daddy got a bit lost getting us to the hotel, we were quite lucky to find it in the dark night). We were all ready for a nap after our big lunch, so it was back to the hotel for a rest. Then, it was time for exploring!! We went to Castleton, which was a lovely little village. We took a walk around the town, found the candy store (bought local fudge) and had a quiet half pint in the pub. Well, not me of course, but I did like looking at the fish in the tank, and climbing up the stairs to the next room!

Today we got up a little earlier, packed our bags and got ready to leave. But not before breakfast. Since it was so good yesterday, we decided to treat ourselves to the english breakfast again!

Our hotel, The Norfolk Arms

Then we were off and away, first stop was a castle, which hadn't opened for the year, so then onto Bakewell. What a lovely town, similar to Castleton but a bit bigger. All the buildings were made from stone and were very old. We visited a craft fair, tried some Bakewell pastries (Mummy was surprisingly not a big fan), saw some ducks and played on the swings. It was a beautiful sunny day, and the air was crisp, great for being outside.

Overall it was a great weekend, so nice to get away and see some new things! What a top idea Mummy and Daddy!

Escape

Oh, I spied that the stair gate was open. Quick, up I go before Mummy notices ...
