and March?

We rather limped through March as a family. We had to cancel our weekend away at Manning Park with Jules and Gerhard, as mom wasn't well enough to look after me in the cabin , and i'm STILL not big enough to ski with the others. Maybe next year?

We did manage to make it to Gerhard's surprise birthday dinner party though, and to Lissa Horman's birthday party. Lissa's party was outrageous! I had a nap in the earlier part of the evening, but surprised the grown ups by getting back up at 8pm to play party games. There were about 25 adults all unravelling toilet rolls as fast as they could. I could have done a far better job, having had lots of practise, but i wasn't allowed to play. How unjust is that? Maybe they thought i had an unfair advantage? However, at least mom and dad won't have the nerve to try and stop me next time i do this at home. will they?

mom's birthday coincided with mother's day back in england, so we should have had two reasons to celebrate, but mom really wasn't feeling too good. She managed to blow out the candle on her breakfast birthday cake, but didn't eat it until much later.

i had a somewhat difficult month, not knowing what was going on from day to day. Becca and Hailey came over to play one day, then Rox and Katrina. Shawna came over a couple of times, and i went to Darlene's house most wednesdays. playing with Judah and Tracey was kind of fun, but he's a bit bigger than me, as were the kids in Dee's house. All in all i found it a bit distressing, and let mom and dad know at the time i knew i'd have their undivided attention - the middle of the night.

We found a solution for April though - Lori lives just around the corner, with a couple of kids of her own, and she can look after me three mornings a week to give dad a break. He's looking forward to it
