Football and rain

Thursday 12th March 2009

We had a nice weekend - consisting of shopping and football. Mummy has been busy trying to find a nice ball dress for the St Patrick's Day Ball this weekend and daddy was obviously the one playing football - although I was giving it my best shot on the sidelines. My nice new shoes are covered in mud now as I refused to sit under the umbrella and watch the football, when I could be happy kicking a football around in the mud and rain. I nearly got signed up!!

I have now perfected kisses and give daddy a kiss every morning before he heads off to work - occasionally mummy gets one too, but not very often!! I have now added another word to my dictionary - we have daddy, awh (which means hug), hiya, there, that and now toes!! We also have mummy but i am only able to say this by screaming it at the minute, so mummy is not including it.

I love water and was very happy playing with the water fountain at football and making a mess. I also love the one at the condo and enjoy brushing my teeth and dipping it into the tap water. And obviously swimming in the pool - daddy came in with us at the weekend which was good fun. Another item with water that i have discovered this week is the toilet!! I have been driving mummy mental all week as whenever the bathroom door is left open, I head straight for the toilet and try and stick my hands in it. As this usually is followed by my putting the water from my hands onto my face, mummy is not too keen!!!

I am getting closer and closer to walking on my own now. I have attached pictures of me and my walk along toy, which I love pushing around. I also love steps and poor mummy had to spend half an hour with me walking up and down the steps at the entrance to the condo. There are only 6 steps and i soon realised that if we got to the top mummy tried to make me walk around the pool and if we got to the bottom she tried heading into the condo - so I decided the best thing to do was just walk up and down the middle three steps for half an hour!! Mummy does not think this is quite as exciting as i do - and thinks that sometimes I am too clever!!

Oops! Nearly forgot the other big thing that happened this week - it was mummy's birthday on Monday!! I think she had a nice day - we went to Kindermusik class, which has to be one of the most fun things to do on your birthday!. I bought mummy a book and a cd (of toddler songs so we can sing together!) and daddy bought mummy a Wii Fit, she seemed very pleased with it, but I think she might have missed the subtle hint from daddy (shhh - do not say anything!!)

Well that I think was this week. Big hugs to all and Happy Birthday to Auntie Kate!!

Love always

Eleanor (aka - trouble according to my mummy!)
