Today the girls (Mummy Maja & big-sis Kelley) left us at 2pm to go shopping. The boys did what boys do best; we ate a lot, drank a lot, did some birding in Safa Park and generally had an excellent time. At the time of writing this (almost 9pm), the girls were still at City Center!!
What? You are going to feed me?
Aha - open big, right?
You see; I'm opening. Biiiiig!
18:50 - dude, you are scaring me now.

I see you Daddy.
Don't you see me?
You do!!!
Hello Mr. Dinnerbowl-man. You look kinda drunk. Are you feeling ok?
Never mind him, I can lift a footsie when I eat.
Look, I can even lift two footsies when I eat!
I wonder if I can eat a tootsie?
Yeah, I can! Tastes like.......dinner?
Making a face.
Can you see me, Mummy? I'm doing all this for you, you know.
I wonder if she really appreciated what I can do with my tootsie?
Look again Mummy, t'ottelott' in mouth and dinner nicely placed between my toasts.
18:23 - Finished with dinner. That was a lotta fun.
Get that camera outta my face, Daddy'o. I do need my peace & quiet. Actually, I need a moment alone.
18:31 - when I said alone, I did not mean 'on the potty' you bought today. I'm too young for that you guys!
22:53 - I kind of fell on my head before bathing this evening, and after crying a lot I got a check-up at the hospital.
A bump on the nose and forehead, but nothing to worry about said the nice doctor.
There was much rejoice when the doctor gave the all-clear.
23:25 - home again, a bit tired and confused.
23:26 - but not too confused!! Daddy called me a trooper and Mummy kept kissing me. That was fun. I'll bet I'll do this again!

11:12 - just up, and really enjoying myself on the floor with Eyor and Teddy.
11:17 - as you all can see, Eyor is the shy one here. But we knew that already, didn't we?
