So Realistic… You Could Just Eat It

Today we got the plasticine out to see if you have a creative touch. We thought it would be easier by focusing on making fruit… maybe we were too good at making them as you really wanted to eat the banana. You weren’t a fan of the snake though but you did like the Minnie Mouse emblem I made you. I’m wondering how long the fascination for me drawing her is going to last for 🙂

So Close… Yet So Far!

I’m not sure where you found them but I caught you trying to get a pair of pants on… the thing you forgot to do was to take the old ones off. You did a brilliant job though, I was very surprised to see that you managed to get them on both your legs. Next time we need to teach you to take the old ones off first 🙂

He’s Here!

Every year the local supermarket welcomes a very special guest. This evening you found him but unfortunately you didn’t find any presents, I think you’re going to have to wait another couple of weeks before he ‘officially’ arrives. In the meantime you get to cuddle him every time we go there for a small shop.

Sinterklaas 2020

You’re still a little too young to understand why every year a guy with a white beard brings you presents… but as long as they’re presents… you’re happy! 🙂 This year it was a very ‘Mini Mouse’ themed one with a singing musical doll and flurry cushion.

Better Late Than Never

It’s been a month since your 2nd Birthday but the presents keep rolling in! We’ve been waiting a long time for the ‘man at the door’ to bring you Grandma & Dad-dad’s present. I was extremely surprised to see it as we’d thought they’d got lost in the post… You were pleased with pants and more so with the colouring book! 🙂

Teddy-Bear’s Picnic

If you go down in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today, you’d better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic

I’m not sure how Teddy got the booboo… I hope it wasn’t the spoon! 🙂

Corn On The Emily

You should always use the right tools for the job… and when it comes down to eating corn on the cob… a knife and fork aren’t the right ones. After a little while and with a little help from Mummy you learnt the best way to eat it. Unfortunately the best way is also the messiest!

Big Foot

Bigger feet = yet another pair of new shoes. Sometimes I think you’re stretching your feet so you get to wear a new pair of shoes, it feels like that anyway 🙂 With you being so mobile now it’s important you have a comfy pair and I think Mummy did a good job with these. You were extremely speedy when testing them out, so much so it was hard to get a good picture!

Skill Or Luck?

When I see you building towers and basically just plonking the bricks on the top with little thought I’m always amazed it stays standing. I also love how when it does finally topple over you laugh and just start again. Never give up!!!

Blind Leading The Blind

I sometimes find your decision making somewhat… questionable? If it makes you laugh and there’s an idiot with a camera encouraging you… it’s all fair game right? In this case you decided to see what would happen if you walked around a toy ridden room blind 🙂

Emily Has A New Guardian

Seems like you’ve made a new friend, well in this case you’ve gained a new guardian. I think you’ve also learnt that Oma doesn’t tell you off or punish you like Mummy and I… Sometimes I can see you taking advantage of this but remember… Daddy is always watching 🙂

Happy 2nd Birthday

It was a quieter one today as we’d already celebrated over the last couple of days. You were thrown a party at Creche, as is tradition. You received a crown and everybody sang Happy Birthday to you. I think you had a good day!

At home Mummy bought you another balloon and we opening your remaining presents, clothes!
