We went and stayed with Granny Gladys for a few hours today. It was nice to see her again. Though she really is not doing too well. Arthur was a little angel. He drew and watched Baby Einstein on Mummy’s laptop.
Grandma Gladys took ill today. We are very worried about her. We wanted to go and see her but she was not in a position to accept visitors. Although she is not a real granny, Arthur loves her just like one.
We did not go swimming as classes are finished, so we went to Dragon’s Castle with Amirah and her Mummy instead. Arthur actually stopped watching Big Cook Little Cook to go play with Amirah!
In the evening Aunty Desi’s best friend came over. Arthur kept showing off in front of Caroline.
It was Mummy & Daddy’s 8th Anniversary today. So Mummy & Daddy planned a day out.
We started by going to Mooiney Veggey School to visit it. Arthur had a wonderful time there. Arthur played with the other children, ate fruit and biscuits with them and even danced and played some music together. We were meant to be there for a few minutes, but we ended up staying till the end because Arthur had such a good time. He will settle well in Nursery. Needless to say, he was quite oblivious to Mummy & Daddy.
Then we all went to Curragh’s Wildlife Park. We saw some animals, had lunch there and even played in the play barn! Arthur even made some new friends at the play barn. Jethro and Bridie. We did have a small accident. Arthur used the toilet and Mummy did not pull his nappy up properly so when later Arthur wet his nappy, it all came out and soaked his trousers. They had to be washed and dried under the hand drier. Mummy felt very guilty. Thankfully it did not ruin the day.
Arthur used the toilet for the first time (2). He seems really comfortable on it. Mummy has put him on the toilet a few times recently but it has been to get him used to it. Today he used it properly for the first time. Mummy and Daddy are really happy. Arthur was given a sticker because he was so clever.
Arthur found Mummy’s lipstick and poked his finger in it. He thought that it was great fun to use it as paint and paint the stair railings! Thankfully it cleans well.
To make up for yesterday, we went swimming in Peel. Unusually it was quite full a class. This was the last class for the season.
Sadly after the lesson we found out about Uncle Roderick’s accident. We have been assured that he is doing well and is at home.
We did not go swimming today as Mummy had some work to do. Arthur was really excellent playing a letter game on the computer. It is always so sweet to see him do things.
We ate Chinese today at home. It was so cute seeing Arthur trying to eat with his chopsticks.
His new word today was “House”.
Arthur called Aunty Dodo “Dodo” today! It is his first time. He made a card for her and sent her a cute teddy bear with a white gold necklace and heart pendant. 
Nanna & Nannu left today. They will miss Arthur.
