What I've been doing

I've been doing lots of new things over here, in between growing teeth (now I have TEN!) At the park I now like going on the slide all by myself - whee! I can do the whole thing on my own - crawl over to the steps, climb up to the top and then turn around on the slide to go down on my tummy, feet first. Whoosh! I try to turn around and then let go of the slide handles as quickly as possible for maximum speed, but sometimes Mummy slows me down to move my feet into a safe position. Spoilsport! She also says that the slide only goes one way, but I like to try and climb it anyway. I haven't got very far yet though.



When we're out at a cafe or restaurant I like to work on sugar engineering. I evaluate each sugar packet (I prefer the straw-shaped ones, but can be flexible) and decide whether it should go in one of my stacking cups or in the cafe's container. Then I move the packets between the containers - sometimes keeping them in one cup, sometimes sharing them between all three, keeping them moving until it's time to eat or to leave. Because unless there's something else I have to do I could keep moving them all day!

I'm also doing lots of pointing. I'm especially good at pointing out Harry when someone asks where he is, but I also like pointing at lots of different things, even random things if I need to distract Mummy or Daddy. Here I am looking one way and pointing another in the hope no-one notices that I'm outside with one of Pa's spoons.
