Arthur’s First Steps

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 see the Castle today. Arthur thought it was really big. He really enjoyed it at first (though he did get tired of it by the end of it). Arthur was even given a badge of Bruce the Great (twice). Arthur was made up with his badge (he did not realise he was given two).

Arthur slept really well. He slept the whole night through. Perhaps it was because he thought it was his cot (it was identical to the one he has in Staines) or perhaps it was the familiarity of his baby bedding or simply that he was in the same room with Mummy & Daddy. Or maybe just worn out!!

Arthur went to see his Nanna & Nannu. He met his cousin Samuel for the first time too. He was wearing really cool baby clothes.

When Nannu was driving us back to Grandmama’s & Grandpapa’s Arthur claimed he wanted to go to the place of Sand & Slides. So we detoured and took him back to Playmobil. He obviously enjoyed himself. We were nearly locked in as the did not realise that we were still inside.

We went to Grabiel’s for dinner and Aunty Jo took Arthur to the swings while we were there!!

Although we planned to paint Arthur’s shelves, we were unable to as we ran out of time. It is so strange to see him move from Baby Furniture to Real Furniture. He is growing so fast!

Mummy & Arthur took Amirah to gymnastics. Arthur was sad that he could not join in. We hope that he gets to start soon. After the gym, Mummy & Daddy took Amirah & Arthur to McDonalds. They really enjoyed it! Amirah then went to her Aunty Angela. Arthur then came home and kept offering Mummy PC Support! It is a good thing that Arthur has his own laptop or Mummy would have to do without. Hmmm
