Happy Birthweek Lottie - for yesterday!

Happy Birthday to my little sister Lottie! Have a few drinks on me! Lottie has had a Birthweek instead of a Birthday. It all started a week ago when Grandpa and Gran came to visit. They arrived to stay with us last Friday and I was very excited to see them. We then had our first party of the week and Gran and Papa and Auntie Rita and Uncle Ian and Liam came and we had food and birthday cakes. It was great.
On Saturday I took Gran and Grandpa and Mummy and Daddy and Lottie to Sealife in Loch Lomond. We went in Grandpa's big huge car and Daddy and me sat on the back-back seat! It was nice to see all the fish, there are some funny ones. It was also funny watching Grandpa feed Lottie as every time he gave Lottie a mouthful of yogurt, his tongue kept sticking out!

On Saturday night we had party number 2 and my cousins Robbie, Dylan and Liam and my Uncle David and Auntie Cat came and we had a lovely time. Lottie had some lovely presents that I tried out for her. We had some more food and more cake.
Then on Sunday we had a lazy morning before Gran and Grandpa took us to Nandos for lunch, then they had to go home. After that Lottie and me and Daddy had a poorly week and Lottie and me were very snotty.

Then yesterday, Lottie's proper birthday, Uncle 'Ickle Kevin and Auntie Gillian came to play. We went to Drumpellier Park and then had a KFC - "Ach, I hate the Colonel with his wee beady eyes and his smug grin on his face "Ach - you're gonna buy my chicken" Why? Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you grave it fortnightly smarties!" Daddy says that every time we see a KFC - I think it's from a film. Well, Happy Birthweek Lottie - it's mine next (after Auntie Tor's, Daddy's, Gran's...)

Happy Birthday to ME - I'm 1000 days old!

Party! Everybody Dance! Do this (See Above)... Then this (See Below)... Then Repeat!


Today is a birthday celebration of my 1000th day! How great is that?! Congratulations and thank-you Mummy and Daddy on doing a good job and keeping me alive this long, I know it wasn't easy at the beginning, but you're doing OK - what hasn't killed me should make me stronger, once I've been through the necessary counseling.
Wow! - Huge, huge, huge big news! It's a big achievement bullet-in! Yesterday I went swimming with Daddy and did swimming all by myself just using a long snake float! I could even do turns in the water! I think it's because I was inspired by the fish I saw on Monday when Daddy took me and Lottie to Sealife Centre at Loch Lomond. It was great. I saw lots of different fish, some looked like zebras and I touched a starfish! My favourite thing was the big turtle. I liked him a lot and even saw him eating his dinner. I also went in a bubble in a tank and I saw two Nemo fishes and two Dori Fishes! A little otter even came right up to the glass where I was to say 'hello', I think he liked me.

Derby win a game! Clan win a trophy!

Wow! Some Saturday's are just the best. You feel like the King of your castle! What a fab day! First of all, we had snow today - it was too wet to do anything with, but we did have about an inch of it! Then, this afternoon Derby County beat Swansea City 2-1 - a shock result for us as Derby haven't won hee-haw for ages and Swansea were second in the league. Daddy was so happy he took Mummy and Lottie and me to Pizza Hut for tea to celebrate. It was great! Then tonight The Braehead Clan have won their first trophy! They won the Aladdin 20/20 Cup beating the Panthers 3 -0 in the last game. 'Mon the Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! He didn't take us anywhere for that, but I wouldn't have wanted to go to Pizza Hut twice in one day.
The picture below is an achievement picture too. When Daddy came in from work he was surprised to find that whilst Mummy had been upstairs putting Lottie in her bed, I had got my stool, gone to the fridge and poured myself a drink of juice, a mix of orange and apple - and I didn't spill a drop! Well, I didn't spill any at the time of pouring, however, five minutes after this photo was taken I had a little accident and spilled most of the juice everywhere- oops! I just missed the top of the sideboard and it was too late! Daddy was on the phone to Grandpa at the time, but Mummy and Daddy don't get angry at accidents - they only get cross when I spill my juice on purpose!

Ha -PEE Birthday Mummy!

Ha-Pee burp-day to Poo! Happy Birthday Mummy! I love you very much. I do not love Daddy very much though after catching me on my potty and posting the picture on my blog! I have got you a lovely present Mummy after going shopping with Daddy and Lottie yesterday. We went to Livingston, because the weather was windy and cold and a little bit snowy again, and the Fort is cold and windy on a summers day and Livingston is under-cover. I was a really good boy all around the shops and then we went to ASDA and the man on the till let me scan our shopping through! How cool is that!
Have a lovely birthday Mummy! Love You!

Saturdays are great!

Mummy was working AGAIN this weekend, so on Saturday morning I decided to give Daddy a break after a hard week at work and I took on some of the 'Mummy and Daddy' jobs with Lottie. I read her a story about Zigby the Zebra and his friends Bertie and McMeer. Daddy reads this book to me and I think that she liked it. I then sang some songs with her and played a game where we had to pretend to be asleep and then clap very very fast when we were awake. Lottie and I both liked that game.


Then, as Mummy and Daddy do this a lot, I gave Lottie lots of kisses and cuddles. I'm not sure she enjoyed this as much as the book and the singing and the game, but it's all part of life. I was quite glad when Auntie Rita arrived at 10.00am to take us to Funky Monkeys! It's very tiring being a Mummy and Daddy.

I also went to visit Gran on Saturday and then Daddy took me to the ice hockey. I had a seat right next to the penalty box and had a really good time. Uncle Gordon was up from Londaon and he sat with us for the 2nd period. It was nice to see him. The Clan beat Edinburgh Capitals 7 - 1! I sang and danced for the 3rd period and entertained everyone near me, including the penalty box man who gave me a high-five from the other side of the glass and a hockey puck from the game! I didn't get home until late-O'clock so went straight to bed!

Noah's Cafe!

Welcome to Noah's Cafe! Our specials for today were toast, ice-cream, ice-cream on toast, and pizza. We also served tea in a glass! Tasha and Bebe and Auntie Tor and Uncle Chris gave me these cooking presents for Christmas and my microwave properly works and everything.
Hmmm. I've had a normal and busy week. Things are getting back to being a little more normal again now that Daddy is working days and not nights. Monday and Tuesday I went to school - that was good. I had a walk down by the canal and saw a lawn mower boat that was cutting all the grassy stuff in the water - I have never seen one of those before. On Wednesday morning I spent some time with Daddy, we did the shopping, cleaned out the car and then went to the car-wash which I really like! Daddy also got me some Matey Bubble bath so I had a great bath with Lottie on Wednesday night. Today I went to Helen's Parents and Toddlers and then we met with Mummy's friend Fiona in Glasgow and her two little girlies. Then tonight I had a good play at running a cafe with Daddy, a big pillow fight and then we cuddled and watched the film 'Cars'.
Tomorrow - I don't know what I'm doing... except that Mummy is working tomorrow night, so Daddy is 'the Daddy-bear'. That means Mummy will be sleeping on Saturday and Daddy is off work - so me might go somewhere really exciting - it's a "Daddy play all day" day!

Glasgow Science Centre

Wow! Yesterday Daddy and Lottie and me had to get out of the house early as Mummy worked a night shift on Friday night and needed her sleep. Daddy had planned that we were going to go on an adventure and he wouldn't tell anyone where we were going to, not even Mummy - which she found most frustrating. Daddy's adventure took us to some funny shaped buildings that I have never been to before to a place called the Glasgow Science Centre.

The Glasgow Science Centre (GSC) is great. Here's some advice though - dress in layers. As you get to play with lots of different things there I found that I got a little hot, then wet, but it was OK because I just peeled a layer off! The GSC has lots of hands-on learning things and some things are very clever. With one thing, in the picture above, I turned on a great big fan which blew over something that looked like the wing of a plane. I then put a little ball at the bottom of the tube under the wing, and the ball magically went up the tube until it flew out at the top!

My favourite thing there is the area where you can play with water. There are boats to play with and water gates, called locks, and pumps and valves - one had a little ball that let the water out when you pressed it in. I loved playing in the water and really should have worn an apron. There was a really nice lady who volunteered to work there who played with the boats with me.
Then we saw a real-life helicopter land next to the river. It was the same helicopter that went flubber-flubber-flubber over Daddy's car on Friday.

Daddy took us all for ham sandwiches and crispies for lunch in the cafe and then we went to play some more. There were tables where you could build with Lego and other toys, there was also some puppets to play with and some tubes that blew some coloured material high into the air. I had a really great time and even had a new big dinosaur from the gift shop.

Last night, me and Daddy and Uncle Chris went to the Ice Hockey and it was good. The Clan beat the Cardiff Devils 3-2 after 40 seconds of over-time and we had been losing 2-0!
