Mum took us down to the farm the other day to see Granny Margaret. We had a great time after lunch climbing up the stockyard gates, feeding the horses and blowing fairies all around the paddocks. I particularly liked yelling at the cows to get them to come closer but funnily enough they went the other way instead. George had a great time too pretending to be an important sheepdog, chasing imaginary rabbits but mmmmm...rolling in real poo. Mummy not that impressed but still loves him all the same.

It was Amy's birthday on Easter Friday ... she is now a big 3 year old. She had a big party and lots of her friends arrived and played dressups, played in the sandpit, while i hooned up and down the drive with the big boys in my car, and we ate lots of yummy things that mummy and Nana had made, and then we sang happy birthday to amy and she blew out 3 yellow candles on a big beautiful butterfly cake. Then we ate some more and then i shared a bath with lots of girls and then Daddy and i watched the rugby and then amy went to bed and then i went to bed too. Amy received lots of wonderful prezzies and Mum took a photo of all her new things so she might remember them all when she is 13. She has even let me use her new pens and pink clay and we have spent the last 2 days happily playing together on some cool puzzles and reading some new books.

Amy has begun to draw and get a wee bit more art and crafty when she is inside - instead of jumping on the tramp with me she sometimes goes underneath it and paints her toenails with pen instead. She sometimes shares her pens with me too - but once i get hold of them i run off laughing down the hallway with them and throw them out windows into the garden.

I have decided that books are cool - i especially love the farm animal books - BAAA BAAA BAAAA BAA i yell at the top of my voice whenever i see a sheep. Mum reckons i only have one volume and that is up high at all times.

YAY!! Iceblock time!!!

Dad thinks i am pretty good with balls - i might become a pro cricket player one day - i have seen enough on TV lately to know what to do... plus i have a very cool wee vest that suits me perfectly and makes me look quite a pro - maybe a golfer?

At Nana's the other day cousin Leah found the pram and pushed me round the garden for a bit until i got bored of being a baby - Amy had fun trying to do cartwheels and Mummy tried to get George to sit for a photo with the girls too. It was a lovely sunny day and nice to catch up with the cousins since we didnt get to see them much over the holidays!!

While i was asleep the other day Mum and Amy did a bit of facepainting together. Mum did a butterfly on Amy and then Amy did a butterfly on Mummy. They had lots of laughs doing it

and Amy wants to paint Mummy every day!!
