Loving ice-cream... hate sand and swings!

We all went to the park today. Dad put me in the sandpit, i didn't like the feeling of sand on my feet, so i got down and tried to crawl in it... but didn't want to touch it so got quite good at crawling without using my hands(?). I was the same about grass, but now i like grass.. so i'll get used to sand i guess... maybe when we next go to the beach for a holiday? Mom also pushed me on the swing for a bit. it made me feel sick, didn't really fancy it... mom felt sea-sick pushing me so maybe it runs in the famdamily.

BUT i love icecream! i'm not really meant to have sugar cos of my teeth but i just had little bits off mom and dad. Mom had a vanilla cone and dad had chocolate and marscapone. yum!!! it was delish and such a treat in this hot weather.

uhm... what should i have for breakfast?

... BUTTER!!

Fridges

I LOVE the fridge. It's quite hard to open but it's worth it. I love taking everything out and putting it on the kitchen counter, then i put everything back in. I think it would be brilliant if i had an old fridge as a toy box.

My nursery school

I went with mom to nursery today to meet the SENCO (special needs co-ordinator). She showed us around and i stayed in the room for a while and played. The room i'll be in is great, it opens out to a garden which has a trampoline, sand pit and water play. There's going to be so much to do and i'm going to make new friends. I'm really excited! I've got my settling in period soon, don't think it'll take me long to settle but you can never be certain.

PALS

Had my first PALS session today (play and learning support). I hardly saw mom, i was too busy playing with everyone else. I especially loved the tent. I didn't want to come out, i was giggling like mad, especially when someone joined me inside. We sang songs at the end, i was watching everyone do the actions, i don't know how to do them yet.

I won't be going to any more sessions because i start nursery school soon.

mmm PAINT!

Sunny day = hampstead heath

I had an absolute ball today. We went to the heath for a picnic. I ate bread, mozarella, tomatoes and even tried a bit of cake. I played with Sophie all afternoon. She's really good fun and was making me laugh a lot. I spent a while leafing through her book that had really amazing pictures that she'd drawn. She was really kind to me. I think i even caught a little bit of a tan ;-)

I also loved walking on the grass, it tickled my feet and made me giggle.

Look who's back!

I saw Tara and India today for the first time in months. They're lucky bunnies and have been live in Goa for the last 4 months. I shared my toys and we all played together. They're both walking now and have ringlets like me, only mine aren't called 'ringlets' cos i'm a boy, mine are called 'curls'. It's great to have you back girls, can't wait to see you again soon.

Passed my hearing test....

... with flying colours! It was quite an intense test. i didn't really like it. The first half was ok cos it was fun. we sat in a room and the nice lady sat opposite me with puppets and things. i'd hear a sound and every time it played a puppet would light up in a windowo on my right. The lady opposite me would distract me again... I learnt to associate the sound with a reward. So every time i heard the sound, i knew to look for the puppet in the window. If i didn't look for it, it meant i didn't hear the sound. I was really good. The sound was played at different pitches, found them all fine but the really quiet one was quite tough. I did get about 3 in a row which i think puts me in the 'normal' range of hearing.

Then i had to have an ear plug type of thing playing these clicking noises. it was measuring my inner ear and how it responds to sound by vibrating. all went well and i passed the test! mom was sure my hearing was fine, it's just good to rule it out and to know all's well.

Nonna and Nonno have gone home

They left today. I'm sad because they looked after me really nicely and i had lots of fun. The new nanny starts tomorrow until i begin my nursery. I hope she's nice. I've met her a few times but not for too long. I'm sure it'll be fine, i like most people.

Look at me standing!

Some pics of our garden

Here are some pics of our garden. Nonno and dad have worked flat out cleaning it up this weekend. Thanks for all your help Nonno! I'm really excited... I'm going to be getting my very own sandpit :-))

The heath with matt

We went for a picnic today. it was brilliant, i played football for the first time, leigh-anne showed me how. Matt was really kind and didn't mind playing with me, even though i'm much younger than him.

I start nusery on the 8th May

I'm really excited.. i'm going to be starting nursery school on the 8th May. I'm going to make some new friends and have an absolute ball. I'm sure i'll learn lots of new skills there. Mom's found a really nice nanny to take care of me until then, she starts next week.

Getting braver!

I'm getting more and more brave. i'm starting to stand all my own without holding onto anything. I have quite good balance and don't really realise i'm doing it. I think if i did think about it too much I'd fall!
