We've been out seeing lots of friends and family over the last week and I'm loving it. Last week Belinda and Patrick came over and both Oskar and I took it in turns to show things to Belinda. I'd call out, 'Blinda!' and show her my toy, then Oskar would elbow his way in to show her something else, so I'd yell, 'Blinda!!' again so she'd look at me, not him. We both liked Blinda.
A few days ago we had lunch at Julie's house. I took a little while to feel comfortable there - I wanted to see Belinda - but after a play outside I started to really enjoy myself. We all played hide-and-seek in the garden and it was such fun. Oskar kept hiding in the same spot while the silly adults walked in circles around the garden looking for him. I'd stand there giggling and pointing at Oskar for a while before the adults found him. A bit later Julie and I hid together; she told me to 'shhh' while we hid, so I did. After that I was looking for Mummy with Aunty Dodo and couldn't find her so I called out, 'Mummy, eee yay you? She came straight out after I called so that was the easy way out! It was a really fun afternoon.
On Tuesday Oskar and I spent the whole day at Nan and Grandad's house. It's the first time I've had the whole day there without Mum or Dad. Uncle Ad was there as well and I had such fun. Mum and dad arrived about 5ish and after that I lolled about playing with Mummy while she and Uncle Ad watched the cricket (I can say, 'Ada' and 'Uncle', but I can't seem to put them together yet).
Then yesterday we went to Aunty Dodo's and played more hide-and-seek and a bit of cricket in the backyard. I met some more people, Shaun and Lindsay, but was feeling like staying close to Mum rather than socialising too much. Oskar and I had cheese and vegemite on toast in front of Monsters Inc. while the adults ate Dodo pizza. We didn't leave until nearly 7.30 so by the time we got home both Oskar and I were exhausted. After we got out of the car I ended up crying on the floor of the garage - I can't even remember why - before Daddy came and picked me up and took me to bed.
This morning I've been very happy to potter about at home and watch a bit of TV. I didn't even mind when Oskar threw wet sand at me, I was just happy to be playing with him at home.
