I'm a big kid now!"

For the last couple weeks, mummy has been getting me to go potty more and to make it even more exciting she has bought me my very own "daddy underwears". I have been using the potty seat for at least 6 months now everymorning, evening and at nap time when I napped but I have gradually been going more often and then I learned how to not poop in my pull-ups but instead ask to go poop. Well now I have graduated to full fledged "big boy" because ever since mummy got rid of my pull-ups and I started to wear my daddy underwears I have been going pee and poop on the potty. What's even better is that I only had 3 days of accidents till I learned that when you pee in you underwears it dribbles down your legs and into your socks and sometimes when you are squating over your train tracks it gets them wet too! Now I am able to go to the bathroom all by myself and wipe my bum and shake the pee-pees off and pull up and down my clothes and as the song says "I'm a big kid now!" I have even mastered 5 nights of night time sleeps without being wet in the morning, though when asked by Grandma today if I have a potty upstairs, I informed her that "I don't have a pot to pee in".

Mummy and daddy are very excited for me and excited not to have to buy anymore diapers or pull-ups. YAY!

Toot Toot- I'm 3 years old!

Whoo hoo after mummy and daddy telling me that I had so many night sleeps till my birthday, it is finally here. This morning I woke up to see 10 Thomas balloons in my kitchen and one of them was a big train.

Then mummy and I went swimming with my friend Carson and my cousins.

That was lots of fun, but I really wanted that Thomas cake that Grandma made me, so off we went home to get the party started.

The house quickly filled up with family and friends and after making my intentions known ( I stuck my fingers in the cake), we lit the candles and everyone sang the song I have been waiting to hear. After filling my face with cake and ice-cream, I was anxious to start tearing off the wrapping paper of some really big presents. I got some really great things like a super big dump truck, a whole wack of Thomas trains tracks, crane, bridges, trees and trains, a birthday train, a hummer, a shirt, some money, a Whorton hears a Who movie, a cars set and some books. I now have enough trains and tracks that I could open my own store.

I had a really great day playing with all my new stuff and I didn't have to give my soother away yet! (we tried but he's just not ready to part with his night time buddy - apparentally he's worried his mouth will get cold :( )

I am already planning my next birthday and am hoping it comes soon cause I really like this cake and present fun.

Christmas and New Year's celebrations

The last couple weeks have been very exciting with 2 fun holidays and all the snow. Mummy and daddy have been telling me the importance of being extra good so that Santa would bring me some nice gifts and not rocks. Mummy even threatened that some of the presents that I was shaking were rocks. So on Christmas morning when I opened up Thomas trains I mentioned to mummy that they were not rocks. Santa even brought me Thomas trains too but not Proteus (I got that on Boxing day from my grandparents). In total I got 16 Thomas trains and lots of track to play with, some new tractors, a garbage truck and my very own camera, some new clothes, new pj's, books and colouring stuff.

My Nona came over bright and early on Christmas day and watched me open my gifts and then we headed over to Auntie Leasa and Uncle Pete's to have lunch with mummy's family. We also got to open more presents there and I got to check out all my cousins fun gifts too. Then we headed home again to get ready to have dinner at our house with daddy's family. I got to hang out with "my girls" before going to bed. On the 26th we headed over to my grandparents for dinner and open a few more gifts. I think I must have been really good cause I sure had lots of fun.

Then to bring the week of festivities to a close we headed up to my Auntie Kim's and Uncle Franks to go tobogganing and ring in the new year. We do this every year usually so mummy can get her snow fix but this year we already had lots of snow so this was just for sledding fun.

This year uncle Frank even got to join us so I had lots of people willing to pull me up the hill. We met up with some friends and then afterwards we headed back to the house for dinner and treats. Finally it was bedtime and I got to sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor while the adults welcomed in the new year (barely).

If that wasn't enough excitement, mummy, auntie Kim and I headed to Fabricland to pick up some material for new clothes and so that i could express how much fun the last couple weeks have been- All over the floor of Fabricland! Yup that's right I barfed and now I fear that I have a bug from all the excitement.

Oh well I think it was worth all of it and i look forward to next years celebrations.
