Daddy's turn!!

Thursday April 17th 2009

Well in preparation for our trip back to sunny England in a few days 

Mummy has been very busy packing and so this week Daddy is 

assisting me. He informs me that the he will assist in improving 

the grammar but it could interrupt the normal humorous flow. I have 

seen him try and do some of mummy's jobs previously and he is not 

very good so I think I will take Mummy's lead and let him feel like he 

is in control and i will really lead!!

Well we had a lovely weekend which started with Daddy winning the 

final league game of the season and scoring a fantastic goal which

turned the game, according to him. Mummy and I are doubtful without 

video footage as we were at home after i had slept until 830 and still 

felt tied in the morning. However, Sunday was a far more energetic day 

and I had my very first bike ride along the east coast park. We hired two 

bikes with a baby seat on Mummy's and although she seemed a little bit 

unsteady she soon got use to it. She claims it was because of the 

additional weight on the back - How rude!!!! It was though very exciting 

and I loved watching the world go by, We were though very naughty as i 

did not have a helmet on which Mummy promises to buy before we go 

again but i think she is trying to make me look stupid!!! We rode all the 

way to the lake and watched the Wake boarding Championship arriving 

at the coffee shop just before the thunderstorm came, although Mummy 

and I did laugh at Daddy as he had to dash out in the rain to 

move the bikes and came back very wet. 

I also continued my culinary journey by visiting a Japanese restaurant 

on Sunday evening and I have established that I like Sushi and Tempura 

but not really keen on the Sashimi. I think i just like rice but it seems to 

make Daddy happy so if he is happy to pay for overpaid rice then who 

am i to stop him. 

This weeks daily activities continued with music, gym and swimming 

but the best news was the discovery of Polliwogs. a great fun place 

which mummy says is called "Soft Play" and is great value at $6. 

All i know is that it is full of things for me to play with including slides 

and a ball pit. We are going to take Daddy there on Saturday to 

show him how much fun it is. 

Much to Mummy and Daddy's disapproval this week I have decided to 

start preparing for the jetlag by waking up every three hours during the 

night. Those regular readers will know i normally love my 12 hours 

straight. I think Mummy had forgot what it was like to operate without 

sleep so I thought it would help her plan for the flight. I think Mummy 

is still hoping that she may get an upgrade on the flight or that it may 

be empty so there is lots of room. I have checked with Daddy and he 

said "Fat chance", not sure what that means but it does not sound good.

My swimming is still going well and we had an extra teacher to help 

David out. She was very good but i think I still prefer David - sssh do 

not tell Daddy. I am improving my Diving so I am looking forward to

showing off my skills to you all in England. Mummy has told me though

that we will need to swim inside!!!! This makes no sense to me as we 

always swim outside and the sea is outside so i think Mummy is getting 

confused with having a bath!!!!

Anyway need to dash as i have a lunch date with the girls and as you 

can see from the picture above i like looking cool in my sunglasses 

and shopping till i drop. The other pictures are of me packing the 

shopping into the car, playing my musical instruments and showing 

off how my eating skills have developed!!! Mummy and Daddy are 

so proud.......
