Arthur’s First Steps

After Gym, Arthur was had Rebekah’s birthday party at Braddan Hall. Arthur had a wonderful time meeting all his friends and playing with them.

Then Arthur was invited to spend the night at Amirah’s. Needless to say both Arthur & Amirah were extatic at spending the night together.

Arthur did start school today. Grandmama took Arthur to school. Arthur knew that Grandmama and Grandpapa were leaving today while he was at school. This upset him alot and he cried alot. Thankfully he settled down after a while and enjoyed his day at school. He did letters which he was happy about. He was also happy that he gave out his invitations for his party at school.

Arthur was every so disappointed this morning because “Santa didn’t come!”. So Mummy took Arthur back to his bedroom to check and found his stocking was overflowing. He must have stepped over the present that could not fit in the stocking and had fallen on the floor! He was so excited when he realised he had lots of presents from Santa.

When Arthur went downstairs he found that Santa ate the mince pie and drank the Sherry but the reindeer did not eat all the carrot and a small piece was still left. Arthur was worried for the reindeer. Then he saw a huge present and was ever so excited. It was a marble game – rollercoaster! I think that’s a new word!

He received so many presents, he actually was tired of opening them.

We celebrated Christmas together eating and opening presents. It was so nice to see Arthur so excited about it all.

Arthur wishes everyone a Merry Christmas. Arthur was sad there was no little church at Midnight mass.

He cannot wait for Santa to come tonight and he left Santa a mince pie, a glass of Sherry and a carrot for the reindeer!

Arthur had such a busy day today. It started as you know with Amirah sleeping over. Then off to school (while Amirah went to visit her Mummy). From school it was straight to the Mums & Tots in Onchan where they had a Christmas Party. It was dress up… and unlike what you would expect there were no nurses and doctors in lab coats but fairies, mini santas, shepperds and Arthur was an elf! Santa even popped round for a visit. From there a quick stop home and straight to Ballet.

For a treat Mummy, Daddy & Arthur had a KFC picnic at home. We laid down a picnic blanket in the sitting room and had a wonderful winter picnic.

We went to Samuel’s Christening. He was Christened Samuel Benjamin. Arthur made some new friends and was able to play with his cousin “Nina”.

When we left, we planned to go swimming but the sea did not look nice. So we went to the cinema instead and watched Kung Fu Panda. Grandpapa & Aunty Jo came with us.

Arthur & Mummy took Daddy to Playmobil for Daddy’s Birthday. Daddy seemed to have a good time, though not as good as Arthur!

In the evening we went out to eat with all Daddy’s friends at Dell Etna in M’scala. Arthur had a great time playing with Sophie & Maya (and yes Aunty Jo too!).

Arthur sang Happy Birthday to Daddy too!

Arthur was invited to a small 1st Birthday party today. It was just upstairs in Staines, but it was a sweet little party. Arthur got to eat lots of Chocolate Cake which seemed to make his day.

Arthur also painted a card for her.
