Theo's Birthday

Theo:
Last week it was my birthday! Mummy forgot to take any photos...
I had some great presents. From Mummy and Daddy I got a stacking toy and Sophie gave me a noisy music toy. I got some lovely presents from friends and relatives, I especially love the garage and all the cars!
Here is a short video of me being happy and excited. I pant like a dog and do a funny foot shuffle!

First drawing

Theo:

Instead of using a pencil on the furniture, Mummy gave me some paper to draw on. I drew this today; it is um... a scribble!

Theo and his shape sorter

Theo:
Apparently I have been destroying the house. I like to climb on everything, empty the bins, sit in the dishwasher, eat anything edible or unedible etc. Mummy thought she'd give me something constructive to do. I really enjoyed myself for 5 minutes. Here is a short video.

First Day of School

Sophie:
I went to back to school today. I am now in Year 1! Everyone in the class got assigned a responsibility job. I am the 'toilet monitor' which means I have to check that the taps are turned off and the toilets are flushed. Mummy says I get all the 'crap' jobs. I told her not to swear; she thought she was very funny.

A swimming video

Sophie:
Here I am having a swim in the pool.

Theo:
At the end of the video there is a short clip of me looking very 'cool'

Morocco

Sophie:

We went to Morocco for the week. We did a lot, but we mainly spent our time by the pool. I got to play on the beach, walk along the sea front, play in the pool, make some friends, eat lots, ride a camel and read lots of books. The weather was excellent, some days it was 105 degrees but with a sea breeze, so it wasn't too hot. I ate lots of nice puddings from the buffet every day and ordered my own drinks from the bar. It was a great holiday and I want to go back to the hotel again.

Theo:

I ate Morocco out of cous-cous! I fell in the pool a few times. I posted toys off the balcony. I fell out the patio doors (I didn't realise they were open). I ate sand. I walked lots. I swam for over 4 hours a day. I had a great time.
