Sam's Stories: August 2009

A camping trip!

Daddy took Harry and I camping a couple of weeks ago in the New Forest. We went with Marie and Charlie and Hannah and Tom. We had our tea in a pub and then slept the night in our tent. I went to sleep very late that night as I was having so much fun!

The next morning when I was eating my breakfast I got stung by a horrible wasp on my lip! I am now very nervous if I see any wasps or bees near me.

Paultons Park

We went to Paultons Park a few Sundays ago. It was nice and sunny all day and I got to go on lots of fun rides.

Now I am two!

I celebrated my second birthday a few weeks back. Daddy was still recovering from his horrible Swine Flu but I still managed to have a fun day! We had lots of visitors, Nanny and Grandad came over, as did Lisa, Abbie, Ben, Charlie, Hannah and Nanny Peggy. We had a McDonalds for tea and got to do lots of playing in the garden. I even got to blow out the candles on my Peppa Pig cake!

Abbie's Sports Day!

We went along to watch Abbie in her nursery Sports Day. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and there were lots of races to watch. We even got to run in one of the races and I got a medal. I was quite a naughty boy though and kept running off as I wanted to play in the park!

Playing cricket!

Here is me attempting another sport - this time cricket! However, following in the football theme, I much prefer to hold the ball rather than hit it!

Harry's birthday

We were really lucky with the weather on Harry's birthday. After school Harry had some friends round for tea and we got the paddling pool and water slide out. We all had a great time and even after we all got dried I decided to get back on the pool again with my clothes on as I loved it so much!

Harry's party!

Harry had his 6th birthday party at Tri Lakes and I got to go as well (we left Maddie with Nanny and Grandad!). I have never been there before and I had a great time - even though it was boiling and I got all hot and sweaty!

I'm a cool dude!

Here's me being a sporty cool dude - not sure I've completely got the idea of football yet, I much prefer to hold the ball rather than kick it!

A new toy!

Mummy bought us some new sand for our sand table and Maddie and I both love it! I like making castles and shapes with the sand moulds. Maddie likes chucking the sand on the floor!

I am always trying to copy the things Harry does! Here is my latest trick - getting stuck on the climbing frame!

A holiday to Devon!

At the end of May we went on a Haven holiday to Devon Cliffs. We had great fun because Lisa, Marie, Danny, Abbie, Charlie and Ben came with us! I got to sleep in a big boy's bed for the first time (luckily Mummy and Daddy bought the bed guard to stop me falling out!) and I was really good, even though I was a bit poorly for some of the time!

We got to have a picnic on the beach and play with the sand. We went to the swimming pool as well and even went to the club house in the evening to watch the shows! I had fun dancing at the disco!

Going to a party!

I was lucky enough to be invited to Maddie's friend Alice's first birthday party! It was a bit awkward for Mummy as the party was at the time Maddie and I usually sleep, but we managed! I was a bit grumpy when I woke up and when Mummy got me changed but I soon cheered up at the party.

Mummy has finally been able to do a comparison between Harry and I (Harry was going to a party at about the same age as me). Don't we look alike!

Fireman Sam!

Here I am in my Fireman Sam pjs - getting in pracrice for when I am older and a real Fireman!

My first proper haircut!

I was really lucky that Auntie Sarah has been trimming my hair - but Mummy and Daddy decided that it was now time to visit the barber's like Harry does to have my first proper hair cut. I wasn't too keen on sitting on the chair on my own, so in the end I sat on Mummy's lap. I didn't like sitting still for too long, but Mummy was pleased with the end result!

(I have since been to the barbers again and I was much better behaved - I sat on my own in the chair and sat still for ages!)
