Yesterday I went to Granny Lyn’s house to visit and even stay the night. Also there was Grandad Barry and Uncle Iain. It just so happens that Santa Clause had left presents here too! How COOL is that? – That’s THREE places he left me toys, that guy is just super magical… I even managed to squeeze a trip to Great Granny Betty and Auntie Sheena and Uncle Jim, where I played with a construction set – much like Lego/Magnetrix, but Daddy can’t remember the name of it at all, anyways – the point of the story was I played with this all night!!! – I even managed a wee dance with Auntie Sheena, which you can see the picture of – on this page..

So today I returned home with the promise that Daddy would play with my new Playdoh, so I was straight in the door, demanding to play with it… but apparently I had to wait until after we’d had some lunch… Turned out it wasn’t too bad either, a loverly bowl of Tomato Soup – made by someone called Heinz my mummy said! Thankfully Daddy obliged, whilst he was organising the Playdoh, my Mummy was busy putting me in my Thomas the Tank Apron, this (supposedly) kept my clothes clean, (whatever that means). Daddy kept telling me to keep the colours apart, but knowing me I didn’t listen… so yes.. I loved mixing them all together – blimey Daddy – I only had 3 colours! – You’ll need to buy me more… (edit by Daddy – “aye right”). Dad made a cool Green Snake, I made a Mickey Mouse, and there was also a makeshift rabbit somewhere at one point too! You can see my creations in the pic!

Tonight after tea I learned to swing the Skipping rope around too, and I was even dancing to Daddy’s dodgy music, some band called U2… anyway – I’d better go – my loverly warm bath with bubbles is a calling… Night Night everyone…
