Yesterday I made up the funniest joke in the world. Every night Dad helps me put my sleeping bag on at bedtime. He tells me “now it’s time for the sleeping bag.” But tonight I asked Dad for something else: the… the… seeping… blag! I said this and then I laughed and laughed. And laughed a bit more. Then I said it again and laughed even more. It is so funny!

I discovered it’s even more funny if you make your voice go up higher at the end as you say seeping… blaaaaag! I just laugh so much. Dad thinks it’s funny too. We both laughed about it a lot today. It’s my new favourite word. Blaaag!

We were having dinner tonight and Mum and Dad were drinking wine. I said: Jay want some wine please. But Dad said that wine is only for adults. So I said:

Jay is an adult!

Even though I am an adult they didn’t give me wine to drink. Maybe I am not an adult after all. I wonder what an adult is?

I was playing out in the front garden today when Dad came out and began pulling weeds out of the ground. I started to help him. He smiled at me so I looked at him and said

Jay busy working very hard!

Dad was working almost as hard as me. We pulled out a lot of weeds.

My friend Jack was standing on my stool today watching some cupcakes and I wanted to see too. So I asked him:

Please may I have a turn now?

Dad was really impressed because I was so polite. I know that it’s good to be polite like this but sometimes I forget. But when I remember it’s really good because people usually smile when I ask nicely and they give me what I want.

Except Jack didn’t get off the stool because he really wanted a cupcake. I didn’t mind because in the end we both got a cupcake. Actually I got two!

I like washing my hands because of all the soap bubbles. Today I showed the bubbles to Dad and said:

Lots of teeny tiny little bubbles down there.
Also big bubbles and medium bubbles.

Dad agreed with me about all the different sizes of bubbles. But Dad’s not as good at washing his hands as I am because he doesn’t spend long enough counting the bubbles.

Tonight I had a really really good idea. After Mum and Dad put me into bed I usually play with my teddy bear and dog and bunny rabbit. But tonight I called out to Dad and asked him for a drink of water. Dad got me my cup and I had a drink of water and then he said goodnight and talked to me and gave me a hug. That was really nice! Maybe I should ask for a drink of water every night.

I have a teddy bear called “Teddy” that sleeps with me in my cot. Tonight Teddy was out with me when it was time for my bedtime story. I thought Teddy was thirsty so I told Dad.

Teddy would like some milk.

Dad smiled at that. He gave me some milk in my cup and I offered it to Teddy. Teddy had a little bit but he left most of it for me. I like Teddy. And Dad.
