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 🙂
Let The Noise Begin
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.
Fun At Christmas
Today we went to a friend of ours for a Christmas drink, you had a great time running like a ‘mad woman’ up and down with Rafi. He’s a little older than you but you found some common ground… going crazy 🙂 Less than 2 weeks to go!
Fun And Games With Mummy & Oma
Who Believes In Bad Luck?
Sinterklaas 2020
A Seat Named ‘Daddy’
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! 🙂
Give Me Sugar
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! 🙂
Did You Forget Where You Live?
I have a ‘Cheese weakness’, you also have a ‘Cheese weakness’… Unfortunately we’re at the opposite ends of the spectrum as I can’t get enough of it… and you won’t even try a small, tiny, minuscule piece! 🙂
Corn On The Emily
Best Not To Ask Questions
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!
