Poorly baby!

Thursday 21st May 2009

Well news hot of the press - and only just making this weeks deadline - I am now a big cousin!! Auntie Jo and Uncle Jonathan have a little baby girl called Manina - I am very excited and cannot wait to meet her in a few weeks and teach her a few tricks of the trade!!!

In other news, life has been a bit dull for the past week. I was ill for most of the week and then mummy became ill as well, so we have not been doing very much. I have been having lovely long sleeps at nap time though which i think pleased mummy. Daddy made us some lovely food at the weekend to try and make us feel better - we had a roast dinner with lots of veggies and then a lovely chicken, mushroom and leek pie. As you can see from the pictures I was trying to help daddy in the kitchen, but could not quite get a grip on the oven gloves - tricky things that they are!! 

Then on Wednesday to make up for the fact that we were too poorly to go swimming, we met daddy for lunch, i have included a picture of daddy and I colouring in the picture book that i was given. I am getting better at not confusing the bread and the crayon and actually managed to do some colouring before i resorted to trying to eat the crayon. They come in such yummy colours though and it can get confusing when you have yummy bread in one hand and a crayon in the other - come on admit it, i am not the only one to have done it?!!!

As well as being ill over the weekend, I also had another injury which needed my very first plaster!!! I was opening and closing my wardrobe door and my little toe got caught under it, it scraped the skin from it and all this red stuff came pouring out!! Mummy said it was blood and daddy gave me a cuddle whilst mummy bathed it in magic savlon and put a plaster on it. Apparently you can get pretty plasters, but mine was very boring, so mummy is going to go out and buy me some special ones - not that i plan on hurting myself again in a hurry.

Then to top it all off  i was very poorly yesterday, i was crying and crying because my tummy really hurt and mummy managed to rub my tummy and send me to sleep, (see photo) but then when i woke up my tummy still hurt, eventually after about 20 minutes, i did a big trump and then was perfectly happy again!! However, this coincided with daddy arriving home from work, so mummy thinks that I was pretending in order to be allowed to stay up and play with daddy!! Maybe actress could be a future job for me!!

I had my first attempt at washing up this week. Mummy put me on my step and gave me the brush - I was not very good though, so think that it might be a while before I am managing to earn my pocket money. I am however getting better at drying up and this afternoon i spilt a bit of my water on the floor and went and got some kitchen roll to wipe it up with all before mummy even noticed I had spilt it! Maybe I am a domestic goddess in the making after all!!

Well am going to sign off for now. I hope you are all well and hopefully next weeks blog will be accident and illness free - well you never know, stranger things have happened!!

Take care
