Happy Birthday to Me

Well I’ve been very busy, as usual. Nanna and Pa have been visiting from Australia. We’ve had a great time. Unfortunately they were both sick during the trip but in between their sickness we had great fun. While they were here I got my first pair of shoes. I did take most of the pairs of shoes off the shelf and try to eat them all but eventually I settled on these ones (they tasted the best).

We also went to Wexford – we didn’t stay with Mammó this time because it was a full house but we stayed in a lovely hotel instead. I don’t think Mum and Dad will be rushing back to a hotel with me in the same room. I just love when I wake up in the middle of the night and see them in the room with me. Surely they understand that even if it is 5am, as far as I’m concerned its playtime.

Other highlight was my birthday. We had a great day. We went to the zoo in the morning – Nanna and Pa, Lisa, Ella, Riodhna, Jill, Mum and Dad. It was a pity that it rained a bit but we still enjoyed it and had a break in the café when it was too wet to be outside. Then in the afternoon we had a party. All the family (except Mammó who was in Italy on holidays) and Emma, Sophie and Christopher came over. We opened all my great presents and had cake (well I didn’t have cake but everyone else did).

I love being 1. I’m now in the wobbler room in the crèche. I was sorry to leave Tana, Sarah and Claire in the baby room, but I still see them sometimes. Anyway Jenny and Andrea are great at looking after me too. I don’t get into a high chair for my food anymore. Instead we all sit down at the table and eat. And I have snacks that I feed myself. Also we all have our nap at the same time and sleep on little camp beds in the room instead of going into cots in a special room. All my old friends from the baby room are now in the wobbler room too so we have great fun. I hug them all quite a lot, which is fairly easy cause lots of the boys can’t walk yet so they can’t escape from me when I go to hug them.
