I'm trying to get better, but I just can't seem to shake this virus. I now have a runny nose and a few days ago I had this awful barking cough. I woke up at night and barked like a dog before wheezing in some air. It was a bit scary, but Mummy's cuddle was very nice, so I calmed down pretty quickly and fell asleep again. I woke a couple of times last night and coughed, but got back to sleep okay with more cuddles.

I've been out to lots of playgrounds through the week again, although it's been pretty cold, so we didn't stay too long at any of them. I was looking forward to going to playgroup with Oskar but that wasn't as fun as I'd hoped. We got there late and as we walked up to the gate, a boy leaned through the fence and threw a toy hammer at us. We got inside and Mum put me down. I wanted to check out the scene before deciding where to go so I sat on the ground and looked around. Then the same boy came over, put two hands on my forehead and pushed me backwards! I fell back and wailed, but at least I managed to keep my head from hitting the ground. Mum came and rescued me and the boy's Mum took him away, but he didn't say sorry or anything! So mean. Oskar doesn't like him either because he knocks down Oskar's towers. We didn't stay too long and both Oskar and I stayed right next to Mummy.

I've seen lots of Granny and Nan and Grandad over the last couple of weeks. I'm feeling much more comfortable being around them without needing Mummy to cling onto. I even went right down to the bottom of Granny's yard with Granny while Mum was inside - that was a first. And at Nan's house, I spent a few mintues exploring the toys with Nan while Mum was in the other room and I was fine! Actually that was a nice visit: It was Great Grandma's birthday and I got to sit up at the table with Great Grandma and munch on banana cake. Yum, yum! I am pretty grown up now, since I'm fifteen months old, so it was nice to sit at the table on a big chair, just like a big girl.
