My first holiday

I am just back from my first family holiday, and we went to a place called Cornwall! It was a very long way to go; I heard Mummy and Daddy talking to each other and saying it was about 7 hours including a couple of stops, but I think it was really a week. I sat in my car seat and had a sleep, looked at my toes and looked at my whoozit on the seat's handle. We stopped a couple of times as Mummy needed a wee and I needed a boob fix to keep me going. Kiwi was in the boot and I could hear her panting and snoring!

When we got there Daddy was ever so busy unpacking everything while I cuddled Mummy, had booby, and looked round the place. We went for a walk to a place where there was so much water, it was overwhelming! It was whooshing on big hard things called rocks, and made a fun noise! That night was funny; Mummy took me up to bed and expecting to see my crib I slept in the carrycot of my new buggy on the windowsill next to Mummy's bed!!! I wasn't expecting that! I did end up in Mummy's bed during the night though which I was very pleased about. Here's me and Daddy having a lie in:



One day we went to the seaside. It was lovely; lots of sandy stuff and lots of water. I even had a little paddle but it was a bit too cold for me to swim in.



So Mummy and I sat in our little beach tent while Daddy went in the sea. He was so brave, he only wore shorts and not a wetsuit like everyone else was! I didn't want him to cuddle me when he got out until he had dried off and gotten all warm again. When he was dry he took me into the sea but it's ok because I didn't get wet. Phew!



One day was Daddy's birthday! I gave him a story book called "Where's My Cow?" because I think it would be nice if he reads it to me. He does good voices when he reads to me. That day we went on a long walk. I was in my buggy, and I had a little snooze because I was so comfy; I could hear the sea whooshing, Mummy and Daddy talking, Kiwi panting....it was so restful. There was one bit of the walk which was so bumpy that Mummy and Daddy had to carry my buggy over the bumpy bits. I pretended to be asleep because I was worried they would want me to help carry it if they knew I was awake! We went down a steep ramp to the sea, and Mummy let Daddy push it up and down, which I think was rather clever of her!



When we were down there Daddy taught Kiwi how to surf in the sea, and she was so clever that she didn't need a surf board; her whole body was a surf board! While they were doing that I had a cuddle with Mummy in my new sling, and even had a sleep. I was pretty cozy. Thankfully Kiwi didn't shake herself all over me or I would've got all cold and wet.



I had a really nice time in Cornwall, and the best bit is, when I got home, the next day I had a visit from Granny and Gramps! Now we are home, Mummy says she wants to start working her horse, Mizz, again, so that means lots more time at the stables so I get to see all the horsies and Alypoo, Beth, Lucie and the others lots!
