First of all, Mummy's big horse moved house to a place called France. Mummy was very sad and cried a lot when she left, so I made sure to give her extra special kisses and cuddles to make her feel better. Mizz has gone so Mummy can concentrate on me for a bit, but we are going to see her soon. Mummy says we will be going on a big boat which goes over a big lot of water called the sea. It sounds great, though I'm a bit sad I won't be allowed to swim in the sea. Before Mizz went I got to ride on her which was great fun! Look at me riding bare back...I'm going to be a great rider I can tell!
In order to go to France I needed to get a passport. I had to go and have my picture taken, then Mummy filled in a big long form, asked Granny to sign something and put it in a red box for the postman to take away. Then another day he brought me my passport. I can go anywhere now!
Last week I went to see Nanny Noo and Grandad for a few days. It was great. They had got me a swing to go on indoors which was so much fun! Check out me on my swing:
We were meant to meet Lyanne and her little boys one day but Mummy was poorly, and at the same time I got poorly too and had to see a doctor. He was nice but not as nice as Uncle Tim. We both missed Daddy but he was doing a big important test so we were giving him time to "revise". But I did get to talk to Daddy on the phone so it wasn't too bad.
We have been going to a group every week where all the mummies wave their hands about in a funny way which makes them look silly. It's called TinyTalk and is meant to be teaching us signing so we can talk with our hands. Freya goes too and she thinks it is as silly as I do. I suppose I should sign back to Mummy at some point because she is trying really hard, but I don't really want to encourage her. I like it after the class when we get to play with toys and we steal our mummy's drinks and biscuits! After signing though we go to Denz which is a big soft indoor play area with lots of toys. We play and the mummies eat chips and drink pepsi. We are making lots of new friends which is nice. A couple of times Nikki and AJ have been there which is always fun.
Speaking of AJ, I helped Mummy to babysit him the other night. His parents were going our so Mummy said he could sleep here. He had a big cot downstairs and we played a bit before we went to bed. AJ crawls and walks around holding the tables a lot so it was funny to see Mummy and Daddy running around moving things! This is us having a chat:
AJ and I will be going out for his birthday in a couple of weeks. He wants to find some blondes which sounds good to me, but I will only look or else Freya might get upset.
Last night I had my very own Halloween party! Freya came too with her Mummy and Daddy. It was so much fun...I was dressed as a pumpkin! Check me out:
I had been so excited all day I had only slept for 30 minutes. Needless to say I was pretty tired by the time the party started. Freya was dressed as a witch and she looked beautiful:
When our parents tried to put us to bed so they could have dinner we refused to sleep. It was so funny! We cried and cried, and eventually I was allowed to go downstairs and sit with the grown ups while they ate. Gary cuddled me and I felt very special. Daddy finally got me to sleep, and apparently after then Freya was allowed up for a bit. I was a great party and I can't wait to have another one. Maybe next time the parents will be a bit more sensible and have it before Freya and I get too tired!
Got to run, I'm meeting Freya and Cillian in Beeston soon.
Love Benjamin x
