Welcome to my page!

Really i am now only less than a week off being four, but for the sake of this really behind update by my mum i am only three and three quarters!

Going to 'big school' was the most eventful thing that has happened up until Dec. I now go every day from 9am till 12am. I love going to school and have a great time with my new friends. We have a brilliant playground with bikes, water play areas, and huge sandpits with enormous diggers. My classroom has loads of toys, we do all kinds of craft things and we also have a home corner that you can play in. Last term my teacher turned it into a hospital and at Christmas we even had a tree in it which we could decorate everyday. We also go to the library everyday and choose a book which we bring home to read. Every two weeks we do cooking and i have made chocolate milk, toast and biscuits so far. One of my favourite things every week is show and tell. We have to stand up at the front of the class and talk about what we have brought from home. I have the best teacher and also my class has two helpers and they are all lovely. When it was half term i kept asking my mum when i could go back to school.

I have become a huge pain at eating my tea. I have a tantrum about it at least every other day, unless its pasta and then i eat it all up with no fuss. I want the attention of having my mum feed me and she won't anymore because she says i am big enough to feed myself. I didn't eat for nearly a week because i am stubborn and i also got sent to bed early. I do still like lots of food but its my thing at the moment to cause a scene about it and its driving my mum up the wall.

I go out for lots of walks with my mum and Seany because Seany is not very good at staying indoors all day, but i don't mind as i like running around. We have found a big tree in the botanical gardens that you can climb, i like feeding all the ducks and fish and i also love trying to look at maps and tell my mum which way to go. I even do that in the car with the street directory, though don't know why i am wasting my time giving my mum directions as she is fantastic at remembering which way to go, now my dad on the other hand has no sense of direction and always gets lost, especially if he is driving me to the zoo..... just ask my auntie Elaine about that!

I love strutting round the house with no clothes on. Living in such a hot climate i don't wear much more than shorts and t-shirt anyhow but any excuse to strip off and i will. How embarrassed am i going to be when i'm 18 and my mum starts bringing out the photos of me starkers with her shoes on, or my dad's flippers, or playing my guitar like a rock star.

Sean and i now play a bit more together, we like to chase each other and hit each other with blowup axes. We are such boys, nothing nice and dainty about us, we eat food off the floor, won't blow our noses or wipe our faces, pee in the shower and generally gross our poor mum out. She complains a lot about having to share her bathroom with three boys. We are also really bad at sharing the toys and i am a huge whiner and am always blaming everything on Seany.

October 2003

I can now swim a whole length of our swimming pool, though my stroke looks like i am actually drowning in the process. I can also jump in and go down the big slide in our pool. I have a swimming lesson once a week at our condo with my friend Raphael and we are both so good now that our mums don't need to get in the pool any more and Edwin our cool teacher just stays in the pool with us.

Since everyone started turning 3 its been parties, parties, parties. In September i went dressed as a bee to Frankie's 3rd birthday at the zoo and the previous week i was a pirate at my neighbour's bash when Fabio was 4. As usual i ignored my mum when she said don't run around with sweets in your mouth. I ended up choking and having to have Fabio's dad tip me upside down slapping my back till i vomited all over the floor. Haven't learnt my lesson though even though it scared the pants off my mum. In October both Sean and i went to Theo's party at sky gym which was loads of fun too.
