Big Girl

Krystal has been such a big girl today that I wanted to write on here how proud I am to be her big brother.  First of all at dinner time, she used her cup without a lid on.  She did make a little bit of a mess, but mostly she got her juice in her mouth.  I was showing her how to do it.

When we went upstairs for our bath, Krystal asked Mummy is she could sit on the potty.  Mummy took her nappy off and she sat down and did a wee AND a poo.  She was a bit scared after and she cried, but I was very excited.  She got a jelly baby for being such a big girl and I got one too for sitting with her yesterday reading her a story on her potty so she wasn't scared to sit on it.  Mummy says if I didn't do that with her she'd not have used it tonight.

I'm so glad Krystal is getting to be a big girl, we have loads of fun together now, and when I ask her questions she answers me.  

Love
Kory

P.S.  There is a photo of Krystal drinking out the cup, but the  blog won't let me put it on just now.

Fireworks Night

Bar Babies.JPGYesterday after Daddy finished his work, we went to the beach.  We went to a place called Frankie & Benny's for some food.  There was a bit of a wait, so Kory and I sat at the bar and ordered some drinks.  Kory is a bit of a professional at this after his visit to the pub in Cyprus.

James Kory Fireworks.JPGWe got all wrapped up after our food and went to where the sea is to watch something called fireworks.  I didn't know what anyone was talking about until the first big BANG!  How exciting!  Fireworks say "woooooosh, bang" and I can make a noise like that by clapping my hands and stamping my feet.   I was so excited I wanted to get out of my buggy.

Kory Fireworks.JPGOnce I did, Kory climbed in.  He sat like a big baby with his hands over his ears.  he liked the fireworks, but he just isn't as brave as me, I loved them!  By the time we got home, Mummy was really exhausted, so Daddy put us both to bed.  It was 9 o'clock, so very late for us.

Shoes, Baby, Playdoh & Beach

We've had a really busy week.  Now that Kory is at nursery, I get to do lots of cool things.  On Monday morning Mummy took me to a place called Rambo's.  She said Kory used to go there when he was my age.  We met Matthew and his Mummy Katy there.  I really enjoyed myself playing with the ball pool and there were some really high up chutes.  I am very brave though and go up all by myself.  Mummy kept calling me 'Fearless Freddie' !   In the afternoon Mummy took us to the shoes shop to get some new winter shoes.  We both had bigger feet this time and both got boots.  Mummy nearly feinted when the lady told her how much they cost! 

On Tuesday morning we saw Matthew and Katy again, at their house this time for a coffee morning they were having for the NCT.  It was fun to play with Matthew's toys, but we didn't get to stay long as we had to go back to get Kory.  When we got back home, our Gran phoned and told Mummy she would buy our shoes for us.  Mummy is very grateful and we think it was very nice of her to do that.  In the afternoon we went to collect one of Mummy's dresses.  Kory was a very naughty boy at the lady's house, and Mummy got cross at him.  But I was good!  Daddy put us to bed that night as Mummy went to Asda to buy food.  I hate shopping so am glad I didn't have to go with her.

Whats That_5238.JPGYesterday morning, me and Mummy were Cleaning Queens - we did hoovering, dusting, polishing, cleaning walls, cleaning floors, tidying and cleaning the downstairs toilet, all while Kory was in nursery.   I was really sleepy and had a big long sleep.  When I got up, Mummy's friend Gillian was here with baby Lucie.  I was a bit scared of her, she moves!!  

Lucie Krystal.JPGAfter a while though, I was getting her toys and giving her kisses.  She didn't want to play with me though.  She stayed here while Gillian went to get her brother from his nursery.   When Matthew (another one) came back, we all played outside while Lucie slept inside.  It was good fun, until I fell on the chute and burst my lip open.  That hurt a lot but I tried to be a brave princess. 

Playdoh 1.JPGToday we were meant to do more cleaning, but Mummy didn't shower last night and had to do it this morning, so we didn't have time to clean.  So first Mummy got out some red and blue squidgy stuff.  She called in Playdoh and it's the first time I've been allowed to play with it myself.  We made animal shapes, a ball and a bridge and I just squished it around.  It felt funny on my fingers.  Next Mummy had her shower while I had my snack and then we read some books.  I surprised Mummy with lots of new words when I point at things in the Colours book.

Krystal beach.JPGThis afternoon we went to a place called the beach.  It's near where Rambo's is and I got all excited.  Kory had his bike with him so he cycled for a while and we met Jessica, Sophie and Leanne.  They had their doll buggies with them.

We walked for a while, it was very windy and my hair went all over the place!  After that we went to the shoe shop near there to get Kory some gym shoes for nursery (his ones he had keep falling off) and then to the pet shop next door and saw some rabbits, guinea pigs and fish.

I think I'm getting a cold and have been a bit grumpy so I hope having a big sleep helps me.  Night night.

Her photo appears in the gallery on this website 4 photos down as I write this. 

I loved Coral's "Itsa" so much on holiday I was noseying on their site when we got back at what other colours they have.  I saw the gallery and sent in the photo of her on it.  I exchanged a few emails with the owner (the one who appeared on Dragons Den if anyone watches it!) and kind of forgot about it again until tonight, while watching the Dragons.  So I just went for a nosey and found her looking back at me!

How cool!

Cake!

Kids Making Cake.JPGToday I got to bake my first cake.  First we weighed some sugar and butter, then mixed them together.  Then we stirred some eggs in another bowl, and added them and flour and some other things in. 

 

 

Mixing Cake2.JPGKory and I were mixing and mixing hard until it all went together.  We added some raisins at the end, as Daddy likes raisins. 

 

 

 

Slop on Krystal Head.JPGKory was trying to help me mix by moving Mummy's spoon out of the way, but he dolloped it on my head instead...loook!

 

 

 

Licking Bowl.JPGOnce Mummy put it into the oven to bake, we got to lick the bowl.  Mummy said she used to do that when she was little too. 

 

 

 

Cake.JPGWe had to go and get Daddy while the cake cooled, but when we got home, Mummy and Kory decorated it.  Well, Mummy mixed the icing and Kory did the rest!

It was really good fun and tasted yummy after my dinner too!

New Chute

Kory Chute.JPGKrystal got money for her birthday from her Grandpa (my dad) and Tricia.  It's just been in the bank since as we didn't know what to get for her.  Recently she's become a daredevil, at the park she's up and down the big chutes with no fear (she's on the stairs in this photo!). 

 

 

Chute Build.JPGWe'd never got Kory a bigger one as we thought it'd be dangerous and too hard for Krystal....WRONG! 

So last night Kory and I went out to get it.  And this morning it was nice outside, so James and Kory set out to build it. 

 

 

 

Krystal Mud Stones.JPG

Krystal thought it was fun putting stones from the side path into a wheelbarrow!  Just as they were almost done, the heavens opened, but James carried on!  Poor Krystal didn't even get a shot of it though!

 

 

Krystal & Gregor.JPGAfter her sleep, we went to Gregor's 1st birthday party.  The kids had great fun, Kory on the trampoline, Krystal eating (how unusual eh?!) and I forgot to take any photos, so here is one of Krystal with Gregor yeasterday when we were at their house.

When we came home, it had dried up briefly, so she got out for a shot on it.  Needless to say she had a great time (as did Kory!!)  It's HUGE, it's PINK and oh so girly and I love it!!  Thanks again to Dad & Tricia.

 I think they both had a sugar rush from the party....look how happy and smiley they both were!  (by the way Krystal's lovely ensemble is her dress tucked into a pair of tracky bottoms as her bare legs were making her get stuck to the chute!)

Eating While Sleeping

We had a stressful lunchtime today, neither of the kids would eat, both were chucking wobblers resulting in me yelling at them.  Kory decided he was tired and took himself off to bed (more likely to escape me!!) and I gave krystal some grapes to see if she was interested in those. 

James texted me and I turned my back to reply.  When I turned back Krystal had her eyes shut but was still chewing.  I thought she was messing about, but she didn't open them again and was doing the "nodding while falling asleep" thing.  All the while feeding in grapes and eating them!  I crept out for the camera and caught the end of it.....

I couldn't have predicted the end of it though!!  Cheeky Monkey!

P.S.  Notice how she suddenly comes alive at the mention of food!!

Today Mummy put proper bunches in me, not the little clips and clasps I normally get in, but proper ones and I love them!  Even Kory thought they were great.

Do you think I look more grown up with them in?

Mummy got a parcel today which was in some lovely white stuff.  Kory showed me how to pull it all out and make it squeak.  I think they look like bubbles and keep shouting that to Mummy.  I could play with this for hours!
