Today after dinner I decided to make up some new card games.  The first game I made up was called Citta.  It w as bit like “Snap” except when you win and put your hands down on the cards you have to call out “Citta”.  And every time you get a red card on top of a red card, or a black card on top of a black card you win if you say Citta.  I told Mum and Dad and Felix when it was their turn to play a card and I had to remind Dad when it was his turn to win as he didn’t seem to be paying attention.  I never have that trouble with Mum as she is quite competitive and always trying to win.

I then decided we should try a new version of Citta where you have to twirl your card over and over before putting it down on the table. This allows everyone to see the colour of the card which makes it easier to know when to Citta.  So I decided to change the rules on that too so that only black on red could be Citta, and then red on black as well. We finished by having to do double twirls with one card in each hand at the same time all playing together.  I’m really good at making up rules.  And I’m really good at Citta.

I helped to fix Mum’s headache last night. Mum has a cold and she had to lie down before dinner becuase her head was sore. So I helped her. I sat behind her and drew a picture of her head so we could look at it and see all the bones. Then we could see what was wrong with her head and make it better.

I drew the picture on Mum’s back using my finger. Then I said “Aha, I see!” I saw what was wrong and told Mum that it was all better. She smiled and said she felt better. I like looking after Mum.

I did a great picture of a machine today. It has glitter on it.

I explained the picture to an adult and she wrote it on the picture for me. Here’s what it says: Read the rest »

Last night after I went to bed, my Nana arrived to stay with us. When I woke up this morning I was so excited. I woke up Dad and told him “Dad, I’m so excited!” Dad wasn’t excited because he picked Nana up from the airport late last night and I woke him at 6.30. So he popped me back into bed.

But I couldn’t wait. I woke him up again at 7 o’clock and asked him to get the lion. We have a lion puppet that Felix and I like to talk to. I wanted to tell the lion how excited I was about Nana visiting. So Dad put the puppet on his hand and I told the lion that I was so excited about Nana. The lion was excited too! Then we went in and told Felix who was also excited. Then we had breakfast and then we went in to see Nana. And she was excited to see us!

I know I get annoyed sometimes. Today I was playing outside with Felix and we were spraying water with the hose. Dad came out and told us that we were making a mess and we should be careful. I said “No! You shouldn’t say that word!” Dad said “What word?” I said “You shouldn’t say I’m making a mess!” and I sprayed Dad with my water bottle.

Dad didn’t like that so he went away. But next time I saw him I said sorry.

“I’m sorry I sprayed you Dad. But I was really annoyed when you told us not to make a mess.”

I like being three years old. I get to have three of everything. I ask Dad for three pieces of toast in the morning, “because I’m three”. I also get three lollies if there are any lollies. At night Mum and Dad read me three bedtime stories, because I’m three.

And next year I will be four!

At Playcentre last week we played superheroes with dress-ups and face painting. I don’t know about any superheroes so they said I could be “Super J” if I wanted. I don’t like dressing up but I like having my face painted, so I had a Super J face painted with a letter J in a star. It looked really good.

Now I am three years old. One, two, three. I had a really fun day with lots of people and presents and a big cake in the shape of a big number 3. And Mum made me a great card with three ladybirds on it and three cars and three flowers and it said Happy Birthday and had three kisses in it. Mum and Dad helped me read the card to Felix so he knew it was my birthday too.

I know lots of words so sometimes I like to make up new words to make it more interesting. One of my favourite words is puk. I use it all the time like when Mum asks if I would like a banana and I say “No banana thanks, just puk”. Or “it’s not bath time, it’s puk.” Last night I stayed up very late and Dad said “Oh my goodness, it’s so late! It’s twenty past eight!” But I told him not to worry: “No Dad, it’s only twenty past puk.”

The other day dad tried to talk to me about ice hockey. But I didn’t know what he was talking about. That happens a lot. Maybe it’s just puk.
