Welcome to my page!

Something happened since the last update, our house has been invaded by this screaming baby who takes up all my mum's time. Apparently I am a big brother now. Mum and dad call him Seany but I always refer to him as baby. Baby is very boring, he won't play with my cars. I am very good with him though and kiss him gently, try to make him laugh and I help my mum by getting the wet wipes when he needs them. I also nick all his toys and take things off him when he has them. Baby's play mat is great for riding my cars over and making bumps in it. I went through a stage of wanting to be a baby again, making everyone in the house carry me like a baby, sticking dummies in my mouth and wanting my nappy changed all the time. The novelty of that has worn off now as I kindly remind people that I am a big boy now.

I now chatter away non-stop. People still look at me as if I am talking gibberish but my mum and dad get what I am saying. I can count easily up to 12. Some of my favourite phrases are I DID IT! and when I am in the car I like to shout red stop, green go and green arrow as well as reminding my mum - yellow bump mum! If my mum parks the car a different way round in the drive I like to point out - wrong way mummy!

About 6 weeks after Sean arrived I started to go to playschool three mornings a week. It is a small group of about 20 kids and we have 4 lovely teachers. I go from 9.30am to 12.30pm. When we get there we have free play for an hour where we can play with whatever we like. They have a big mat of a town for all the cars. I also like playing with the pretend kitchen. Then we go to the indoor playground which is my favourite bit. This is the only bit I tell my mum about when she asks me what I did at school. I usually spend the half hour on the red or blue bike. After we walk back we have snack time. The first day I was there apparently I threw my snacks on the floor because I wanted to eat the others kids chocolate biscuits which were obviously nicer than my healthy ones! My table manners have improved since then and I now sit nicely and eat my lunch. After snacks we sing songs, dance, have stories or crafts. I have already made my mum a peg butterfly for mother's day and I drew a picture of my dad on a badge for father's day, the orange hair was very realistic. I didn't cry much the first week I went to school but after that I spent 2 months crying every morning when my mum dropped me off. Bit of a blackmail thing really because as soon as my mum is out the door I stop and go and play. She never cracks under this pressure my mum so I have given that up now too unless I am in a grumpy mood.

My Mates.
My social life has been curtailed somewhat since Sean arrived. The first three months I spent with my mum and Sean with the occasional get-together with Josh, Ginny and Theo. Its starting to pick up again now as Sean gets a bit older.
To be honest my mates are a bit thin on the ground now but hoping to make some new ones from school and also when we move towards the end of the year. I go round to Josh's house usually once a week which I love because Josh has a great garage and loads of cars. If we don't go there we will either go to gymboree or out somewhere. I also love Josh's mum. Ginny is my girlfriend. I am always asking my mum if we can go to Ginny's house.
