Bit of bother

Oliver — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:04:05 +0000

My blog has been hacked a few times but Daddy is trying to sort it out. I hope it’s not bothered you too much…

Holidays

Oliver — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 22:34:33 +0000

We’re having two holidays this week. We are currently at Camp Bestival with Mummy and on Tuesday we are going to Cornwall with Daddy and his friends for a week. There will be four more children with us there so we should have lots of fun.

Expression not expected to be heard from a three year old

Oliver — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 19:24:30 +0000

‘Fix me a drink Daddy’. Well it made him laugh anyway!

No nappies

Oliver — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 09:26:18 +0000

I’ve stopped wearing nappies to bed now. The main driving force behind this was the fact that Daddy didn’t actually have any so I had to go without! still, I’ve been very good and haven’t had any accidents so far, but that might be because Daddy wakes me up about midnight and makes me have a wee!

Troubled

Oliver — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:29:08 +0000

I keep telling Daddy that I want him to live back at our house. I usually tell him when it’s bedtime and I am missing my Mummy. Growing up can be so difficult sometimes.

Blue owls

Oliver — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 16:33:05 +0000

I’m now in Blue owls at nursery. It was my first day there today and I enjoyed it a lot. It’s good there because I get to play with George all day now rather than just seeing him in the garden.

Little monkeys

Oliver — Sat, 29 May 2010 21:49:48 +0000

We went to Monkey Bizness in Lewes today. It was packed due to the inclement weather. We had previously gone to Bentley motor museum but the rain finally got the better of us and we left after a nice but wet and cold picnic! I had to wear Daddy’s coat because I was so cold, I warmed up quite quickly, and Dad seemed to get cold quite quickly too!

Hung

Oliver — Fri, 07 May 2010 21:57:06 +0000

It’s a hung parliament today. I’m not sure what it means but I don’t think Daddy is very happy with the outcome of the general election. He tried to explain it all to me the other day, but I was more interested in playing with my lightsaber. As long as Mummy and Daddy have enough money to keep me in lightsabers (I keep breaking them), I don’t really mind.

Three today

Oliver — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 20:07:03 +0000

I had a lovely day today. I went to nursery this morning and Daddy picked me up at 3pm. Mummy came back and we all spent the afternoon playing with my new presents. Then we all went to Frankie and Benny’s for a birthday tea. I wanted Emma (my nursery key worker) to come along too (she didn’t) and I want her to come to my birthday party on Saturday…

Nearly 3

Oliver — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:01:20 +0000

I will be 3 in the morning. I’m very excited, I’ve been telling everyone. Daddy said that I will be a big boy tomorrow, but I corrected him and said I will still only be a little boy. This was more to do with the fact that I wanted a carry today and Daddy said big boys don’t need so many carries!

Bigger boy

Oliver — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:57:16 +0000

I’m one step closer to ‘growing up to be a Daddy’ as I like to say. I’ve mastered my potty training now. Don’t know what all the fuss was about.

Cuddles

Oliver — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:06:56 +0000

I’ve always enjoyed giving cuddles, but now I especially enjoy what I call ‘freeze duddles’. They are the ones when I squeeze and squeeze and won’t let go!!

Strange

Oliver — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:28:37 +0000

Today is a bit strange for me, it’s the first day of my entire life so far that I’m not going to see Mummy at all. She has gone away for the weekend to escape from Dad!

Potty time

Oliver — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:44:08 +0000

I’ve been doing all my wees on the potty or standing up at the loo. Not quite got the hang of doing my other business anywhere other than my nappy, but one thing at a time eh!

Holiday

Oliver — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:47:08 +0000

Last week we went on holiday to Centre Parcs in Suffolk. We had a great time there, Standing Up Grandad* came too. We went swimming every day. They had some water slides, which I went on, some rapids, which I went down, and big waves, which I bobbed in. As well as all that, I spent a lot of my time just laying on my back in the pool gently swimming along. I love swimming! George on the other hand didn’t like it at all when we first got there. He’s lost a lot of confidence in the water, but I showed him how to do it, and by the end of the week he was swimming again. I’m a good little brother.

* other Grandad is called Sitting Down Grandad on account of his wheelchair!

Party weekend

Oliver — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:50:19 +0000

This weekend has been very busy for us all. Yesterday was George’s birthday party. A bit late I know but we had to postpone it because of the snow. And today we went to Grace’s party. We also went to Tom, Deb and Jed’s house last night to see Karen as she was over from Spain. We always like going there because Jed is good fun and to make it even better, so were Iris and Eve.

Snow again

Oliver — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 09:04:58 +0000

We’ve had so much snow lately it’s beginning to get silly. It’s day 6 and cars are still finding it difficult to get up and down the road. Dad and Kelvin and John did clear the pavement and road outside our houses but it’s only good when people actually get to our bit! Today is the first day that nursery has been open for a week so we are off there today. We are leaving early though for George’s special birthday tea.

Fun fun fun

Oliver — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:19:44 +0000

I’ve had so much fun over the last few days, most of it has been chocolate fuelled! Father Christmas brought me lots of presents as did family and friends. I’m a very lucky boy. I’ve also been told it’s the end of the year tomorrow and that there is also a blue moon. How exciting. I hope it really is blue…

Advent calendars

Oliver — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:19:31 +0000

I got into trouble For ripping open and ripping off the doors of mine and George’s advent calendars. Whoops! At least I didn’t do it to our shared Lego one.

December

Oliver — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:41:35 +0000

We’ve got one advent calendar each, and a Lego one to share. No guesses as to which one is my favourite.

Nursery

Oliver — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 20:37:04 +0000

Mummy went to the parents evening at nursery the other day. They all said how lovely I was (I mean, that’s obvious anyway isn’t it?). They also said that I prefer to spend time talking to the grown ups rather than the other children. That’s because I get more sense out of them!

Bump bump bump

Oliver — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:19:48 +0000

I fell all the way down the stairs today. I have a big bump on my forehead, but all in all I think I escaped quite well given that there is currently no stair carpet!

New bedroom

Oliver — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:49:36 +0000

Mummy and Daddy are moving out of their bedroom to make way for George and I. It has a new window in, newly plastered walls, and will have a new carpet and a lick of paint very soon. I wanted a yellow room and George wanted it white, so a compromise is to be made….

Still in nappies

Oliver — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:54:21 +0000

I’ve decided I don’t want to wear pants. I do however ask to sit on the potty, but this is usually after I’ve had a wee!

Big cuddles

Oliver — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:06:57 +0000

Today I’m having lots of cuddles with Mummy on the Sofa because I’m not feeling very well. I woke up this morning and was sick in Mummy and Daddy’s bed so we all had to get up! I feel better for being cuddled.

Bear Hunt

Oliver — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:16:47 +0000

We went to the theatre on Saturday morning before going to see Grandad and Granny for the weekend. We went with Mummy, Uncle Ian, Meghan, Alex and Amy. We saw ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. George got a bit scared of the snuffling bear noises and the loud growls he made in the dark but then he was relieved to see it was only a great big soppy teddy bear! I on the other hand loved the whole thing and sat on Uncle Ian’s lap to see it all. Daddy didn’t come with us though as he doesn’t like the book and so said he had no interest in it. Silly Daddy, he missed out on us all enjoying ourselves!

Getting darker

Oliver — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:52:30 +0000

It seems to be getting darker earlier in the evenings and staying darker in the mornings. As a result I seem to be getting much more sleep. I’m sure if it weren’t for George still waking up early Mummy and Daddy would get lots more sleep too!
