Arthur’s First Steps

Arthur had a wonderful day at school. Arthur learnt all about what happens to food once we eat it. This is the way he describes it…

It goes in my mouth and then down my oesophogus. Then it goes into my stomach, then small intestine and then large intestine, then out my bum!

Mummy did try to get him to say bottom but he finds bum almost hilarious!

Needless to say it was quite a mouthful of words and new vocabulary. Mummy managed to film it when Arthur explained to Daddy about the digestive system.

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.

Mummy sent Arthur to school with Grandmama today. Except… school was closed. Arthur was upset that it was closed (which is a good thing as he did not originally want to go). Mummy accidentally assumed that school started on the Monday and not the Tuesday! Mummy is very embarrassed.

After church Mummy, Grandmama, Grandpapa and Arthur went to collect Daddy so that we proceed to lunch except that the car refused to start again. So we did not end up going to lunch but we stayed and ate at home.

Arthur wishes everyone a Happy New Year!

Aunty Jo had to leave today. Arthur was very sad.

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!

We all met at the farmer’s Christmas Market which was really small. However that was just the begining of the day because today Arthur went to see Santa at the Home of Rest for Old Horses. Santa gave Arthur a present for Christmas and Arthur told Santa that he wanted Drums for Christmas. We then had tea and Christmas log. Arthur even had a second helping of Christmas log!!

We then went Christmas shopping for presents in town. Yeah!

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.
