Arthur’s First Steps

We met up with Amirah and her Mummy in Peel and went for the 2pm class. It is always nice to go swimming and Arthur always enjoys it.

Arthur found a chocolate bar near his bed and ate it all. As a result he is in a really hyper mood today. So much so that Mummy decided to not go swimming today. He only started calming down towards the end of the morning. Mummy must make sure not to leave chocolate in reach of Arthur ever again!

Naomi & Richard left early this morning. It was a shame they could not spend more time. We enjoyed having them. Hopefully they will come and visit again soon.

We took the opportunity of enjoy the day as a family day. Family days are always great.

We took Naomi & Richard to Laxey Wheel. While they climbed the wheel Mummy, Daddy & Arthur played with the ball.

In the evening we all had a barbeque. Arthur really seemed to enjoy it.

Naomi & Richard came to stay for the weekend. They arrived at 9pm and Arthur and Mummy went to pick them up. Daddy was out for the evening but came home shortly after we arrived. Arthur really took to Naomi and gave her a good night kiss but refused to give Richard one!

After we checked out from the hotel, we drove to Belfast. We went around the city for the afternoon and had Burger King for dinner. Arthur ate a whole burger on his own today. It left Mummy & Daddy very surprised. Especially when he topped it off with all his fries, some onion rings and a couple of Daddy’s potato pieces! We were really pleased.

We then got the boat back home. All in all it was a fantastic family holiday.

We went to a food market and spent the morning there. Arthur made lots of new friends :- girls, boys and dogs!

We tried going to 3 different castles as part of our sight seeing. The first was turned into some golf course, the second was closed for an event and the 3rd was at last entry time. We actually missed the last tour but they were so nice, they gave us a tour specially for us. It was lovely.

We then had dinner at a nice little restaurant called “Little Venice”. Arthur even got a toy with his desert.

Arthur gave Daddy a card which he made himself and even made a photo album with a collection of photos for Daddy. Arthur even gave Daddy some chocolate too!

Daddy took us to Dublin Zoo today. We could not help but sing “Daddy’s taking us to the zoo today!” Arthur had a whale of a time. He has always loved animals. We even ate in the Meercat Restaurants with Meercats in the background. It was lovely.

For Mummy’s Birthday we all went to Ireland. We got the boat first thing in the morning and sailed to Dublin. We then drove to our hotel – The Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in Dublin. After settling in, we caught the bus into the city centre and had dinner there. It was nice exploring Dublin. We also fitted in some shopping. Made Mummy’s day!

Arthur gave Mummy a lovely plate which he decorated himself. Mummy was ecstatic.

We stayed at home today. The weather was miserable. Even the TT races were cancelled today. Daddy stayed studying and Mummy and Arthur stayed at home with Daddy.
