As you all know it isn’t Harry’s 2nd birthday until August but tonight Mum & Dad built his birthday present; with some help from Harry.
Mum & Dad decided a few weeks ago that they were going to buy him a climbing frame & slide for the garden but wanted him to get some use out of it this summer and as we go on holiday 10 days after his birthday they thought he better have it sooner rather than later.
Harry loves his present as you can see from the pictures!
Whilst we are at Lucy’s Christening today we spotted the interaction between Harry & Lucy; click through the photos above.
It seems Lucy was interested in Harry’s dummy but Harry was not going to let her have it!
Today is the last day of our school holidays and unlike the rest of the week it was warm and sunny so Joshua & Dad decided to have a game of Star Wars Top Trumps in the sunshine. Harry was milling around in the garden as well and decided to “join in” too!
When Harry got bored he decided that he would give his big brother Joshua some hugs instead; despite only spending a few days a month together you can definitely tell that these 2 brothers love each other a lot!
And for the record Joshua beat Dad at Top Trumps!
This afternoon we were supposed to be going to Splashzone with Auntie Melissa, Uncle Simon & our cousin Hughie; unfortunately when we got to Splashzone it was full but firtunately it was sunny so we decided to go to Walton Gardens instead.
We like going to Walton Gardens as we can play in the park, play football, look at the animals in the zoo and have ice cream and this is exactly what we did this afternoon. We really enjoyed playing football and whilst the ball was being passed around Harry took Mum & Emilie for a ride on the train.
There was also a running race held – apparently Auntie Melissa (Personal Trainer) couldn’t race against Daniel as she didn’t have her trainers or sports bra on – we’ve heard all the excuses now! So instead Daniel had a race against Uncle Simon. Much to everyones amazement Uncle SImon beat Daniel by a nose length, but Auntie Melissa said this only happened because they raced downhill and therefore Uncle Simon had a weight advantage!
We ALL had fun playing in the park – Mum, Dad, Auntie Melissa and Uncle Simon particularly enjoyed playing on the horse!
We had a brilliant afternoon and can’t wait to spend more time with Auntie Melissa, Uncle Simon & Hughie!
We like school holidays as it usually means that we get to see our cousins Amy & Callum – we really like it when we get together as we always have loads of fun.
As soon as Auntie Jennifer, Amy & Callum arrived the 2 girls disappeared up into Emilie’s bedroom not to be seen again until lunch time. Callum & Josh played together nicely on the Xbox and Harry kept Auntie Jennifer entertained.
We had yummy scrummy pizza for lunch followed by some chocolate cookies which were delicious. After we had eaten our lunch the sun came out so Callum, Joshua and Dad played football in the garden, Harry slept, Amy & Emilie disappeared again and Mum & Auntie Jennifer had a good old chat!
Sadly at 4pm Amy, Callum & Auntie Jennifer had to go home – we hope it isn’t too long before we see them again!
This morning we had a brilliant Easter Egg hunt around the house after E.B. the Easter Bunny hid lots of chocolate eggs for us!
We all had fun but we think Harry & Finley enjoyed the hunt the most but we all enjoyed having Easter Eggs for breakfast!!
When we woke up this morning we found that our younger cousin Finley had arrived – Emilie was the 1st to know he was here as he had slept in her room and woke her up as soon as he woke up.
Finley had arrived late on Thursday evening along with Auntie Alex & Uncle Jerry. We are spending the Easter weekend together!
We spent Friday morning playing together nicely with all the toys and having fun out in the garden on the trampoline.
In the afternoon we went for a walk up to the park where Harry went on the big slide on his own for the 1st time & he loved it. He liked it that much that we struggled to get him off it!!
We all had fun at the park including Dad & Uncle Jerry who were playing on the climbing frame too.
We walked home via the sweetie shop as we needed to bribe Fin to walk & we told him that if he walked to the sweetie shop he could have some sweeties.
We had a lovely afternoon.
For quite a while now Daddy has been saying that Harry needs a haircut but Mummy has been saying he doesn’t!
Today Mummy finally relented & took Harry for a trim, it was only the 2nd time Harry has had his haircut!
Harry sat on Mummy’s knee beautifully whilst Jenny, one of the lovely ladies at our family hairdressers Fuss Salon, cut the sides of his hair.
The sitting still soon stopped though once Jenny started to cut the back. Mummy decided it would be good for Harry to have a break & so whilst Emilie had her hair done Harry set about tidying up the salon!!
He swept the floors beautifully & helped rearrange the shelves, thankfully Helen one of the owners of Fuss is very patient!
Harry eventually let Jenny trim a bit off his hair at the back, possibly not as much as Daddy would have liked, but it’s a start.
Mummy has said Daddy can take Harry for his next haircut.
This afternoon we went to Auntie Jennifer & Uncle Mike’s house to help them eat a rather late turkey that took up residence in their freezer in December.
We were joined their by Uncle Graham, Auntie Carrie and our 3 other cousins.
We had a great time playing, making lots of noise & demolishing the delicious dinner that Auntie Jennifer & Uncle Mike prepared.
As the weather was so nice when Mum got home from work we decided to do our Thursday evening training walk earlier than usual.
We took Harry & Holly with us and we managed to walk 3.88 miles in 1 hour and 2 minutes; this was slower than normal but we had to wait loads of times at crossings for all the traffic to clear – a downside of going out at rush hour.
Harry kept us entertained by pointing out all the cars & birds on our route and singing jingle bells to us!
We’ve got a rest this weekend but then on 10th March we are planning on walking 12 miles!
Harry likes to do lots of things whilst sitting eating at the table, his latest thing now he’s stopped putting his feet up on the table is to pretend he’s talking on the phone whilst munching Shreddies. I should point out he’d already had his breakfast, this was more like a mid morning snack!
Daniel, Emilie & Harry have tucked into pancakes tonight.
Favoured toppings were nutella and jam.
