Food!

Thursday 14th May 2009





Well as you can see from this week's pictures there is a bit of a food theme to this week. I am not feeling very well at the minute and have a sore throat, a runny nose and keep sneezing - poor me!! We had our temperature checked everywhere we went last week (in case we had piggy flu - but we were fine!) so am thinking that i just have a bit of a cold - one of the downsides of hot Singapore and all the air con wherever you go!!

Anyway, this means that for the past few days i have been drinking lots of water and juice and eating my yoghurt for lunch and dinner and not much else - even the melons and grapes have been sidelined! You can see from the pictures how much i have deteriorated - at the beginning i was using the spoon to eat and by yesterday I had given up on that and just used my fingers - today I even let mummy feed me!! 

However, despite a sore throat putting me off my food we have still been busy as generally i have been feeling happy when i have something to take my mind off it. We went to our first playgroup at the Canadian School on Friday, it was a very busy morning and i was very tired when we left but we had fun. My favourite toys were the big wendy house and the baby doll and pushchair - the other children were all really nice and played with me too - i am the baby of the group and the eldest is nearly 3 so we had a good mix. 

We had a nice relaxing weekend after all the activities during the week. Daddy played football (twice) and got very wet and muddy on Sunday, luckily mummy and I arrived at the shopping mall just in time and stayed dry!!

This week we have done all of our usual activities of music, gym, swimming and mum's group - phew! The gym was nice this week as we caught up with Josh and Isobel who both live in our condo - so that was nice. We also met up with Michael and Mary (the twins) they have found out they are moving to London at the end of the year - so we were sharing tips!! And Dave was back at swimming this week, so I was able to do a backward flying somersault and an aeroplane dive - aah!!! Not sure that will have done my throat and nose any good - mmm maybe that explains the illness!!

The other pictures are of me trying to escape my bath (half undressed) I really like bath time, but i love making mummy chase me around the house first - ha ha!!! The other is me stealing daddy's crisps - I managed to get them out of the cupboard and mummy said "Eleanor they are daddy's, put them back whilst I get yours" - this was followed quite promptly by my reply - a giant crunching noise as I bit into them!!! And then mummy got the blame for eating all the crisps - although I did only have two, so not sure where the rest went!!!

Well think that is all my news for this week. I am still racing around on my car (when mummy changes it from a walker - as you can see in the picture sometimes she won't and i have to try and do it myself!!) and I also like mummy's piggy back rides around the house, especially when she runs into the wall at the end!!! 

Well better go I need to go to bed and get my sleep so that I am fully recovered for another action packed week,

Big hugs to all (no kisses this week, do not want to spread my germs!!!)
Love always
