Hello everybody. Just about to hit the sack after a hard day of playing. Mummy and I bought some fishing nets and caught tiddlers in the lake of Neuchatel, which we then put back in the water after having a good look at them swimming around in a bucket. Daddy is home for the weekend. I told him I miss him very much when he is gone. He is going away again next week and will be away for 3 weeks, which is terrible for me and mummy. He is going to a place called Sri Lanka. But I have someone new to take care of me. Her name is Ciara and she is arriving tomorrow at Geneva airpoirt. Mummy and daddy and me will go to the market in Divonne and then pick her up. This afternoon we went to the bouncy castle in Payerne and then had a pizza in Corcelle. Well I had spaghetti bolognese and ate it all up then ate half of mummy's pizza. The lady boss there said I had grown a lot and it seems she is right. But I tell mummy I don't want to grow any more. I want to be her baby always.
Mummy has been doing a sailing course this week and is going to go sailing with her friend Kay, who has a small dinghy. We went to Avenches plage yesterday to fix the boat up. It was all full of water and mummy used my plastic beach bucket to bail out. Kay is nice and gives me lots of cuddles. Bailing out got boring so I went with Alison to get an ice cream instead, and played with a little girl on the beach.

Hello. Dad is away working at Stans at an army camp- boo! we miss him and want him here. Mum is at work during the day and I also want her here. this working is not fun at all. I asked dad why he goes to work and he said to buy me toys and I said that I have enough toys, but he still went. The weather is hot and I get a bit tired during the day and take a nap whenever I get the chance - mostly on car journeys. I was at Merle's birthday party on Sunday. She looked gorgeous in a fairy dress and I hugged and kissed her a lot, she was 3 years old, I am older - I am 3 years and a quarter. There were loads of children there and we played different games - one was pinning the tail on the donkey. It had 11 tails at the end of the game which will be handy in the hot weather. Oh yes, we visited uncle Michele and there was nice opera singer lady practicing with Erwin at their apartment. She sang some songs especially for me like Doe a deer..... it was great. Bye

Bonjour mes amis, je suis en forme et vous? hahahaha! I have been practising my langue francais and now I'm speaking a bit as well as understanding. It has been a hectic time recently: it was mum's birthday on Thursday I got her some beautiful flowers and a tiny deckchair for her to put her new phone in whilst she's at work (she uses it so much it needs a rest hahaha!) .
The weather has been really sunny and hot and I've played outside a lot. Sometimes at home on the swings and whizzing around the garden on my bike (still a favourite) and sometimes at the beach next to the Lake of Murten. This weekend we went to the thermal baths at Yverdon where the water is very bubbly and warm. I can swim quite well, but have to wear inflatable orange arms bands. I like swimming.
Today we went to a brunch with Auntie Imogen, Uncle Ken, Auntie Gillian, Uncle Dani, Uncle Dale, Auntie Regula, Uncle Mark, Auntie Lou, Auntie Morven, Uncle Ross and their collective children. It was excellent there was a box full of trains and tracks!!!!! I had a great time and then we went to the top of the Gurten (a big hill) we took a train ride up there and then when we arrived there was a miniature express that I rode on and carousels and a playpark: I was in heaven. Eoooooooooooooow! sorry I am yawning ..it's time for bed.. night, night x

Here I am again! I had a great weekend, I played on my bike - a lot. We went to a playpark in Payerne and I whizzed around it very fast for ages: it was very funny to see people diving out of the way! hahaha! - couldn't they see that I was a racing bike rider? some people eh!
Yesterday we went to a place where there are lots of fun-rides, a small train and animals - like a big zoo, but smaller: there were small kangaroos, a crocodile, monkeys, snakes, lambs, goats and other things too - in different enclosures.
I like the train best it went around the zoo and I waved at everyone, including some of the nicer animals.
I drove the go-karts about 10 times and mum say that I drive faster than dad- which is not hard! hahaha! dad said that I bumped into things less than mum - which is also not hard! hahaha! I had a delicious ice-cream which made my helicopter piloting a little tricky as I only had one hand free.
We had a great time and I was a very good boy. Later at home I did some gardening with mum and then played cars with dad.
All in all a very satisfying weekend.

I had a big crash yesterday because I was really tired. We were playing a game at the gym where we had to run in opposite directions in a circle and I crashed into another girl. Her nose bled and I had a big bump on my cheek and scratches around my mouth where I fell. She cried and everyone made a big fuss of her. I didn't cry so noone made a big fuss of me. But Alison kissed me and put ice on the bump. Then I cried a bit later. I think I was in shock.
I was even more tired after all that and fell asleep at 6 o'clock in my dinner! I was woken up and then made a nest out of pillows on my small trampoline and curled up and went to sleep there. When mummy came back from the doctor's she put me in bed. I like putting my hand under the quilt cover and feeling the quilt, and generally putting my hands in pockets. That is very comforting.
