Snuggling

Haven't posted in ages, must get some pictures from Charlie's new camera up, but had to post this conversation I just had with him while reading him a story in bed:

Charlie: Do you like snuggling down in bed?

Me: Yes, I do, do you?

Charlie: Yes, it's good isn't it? Which kind of snuggling do you like best?

Me: Well, I didn't know there were different kinds, what kinds are there?

Charlie (counting on his fingers): Well, there's bed snuggling, and ....... bad snuggling.

Me: Well, then I definitely like bed snuggling best.

Charlie: Yes, bad snuggling isn't very good is it?

Scary faces in Spain

We went to visit Charlie's Great-Grandparents in Spain recently for a few days and he had a brilliant time, he loved playing outside but wasn't sure about the pool. There's a dolphin mosaic on the bottom of the pool and he kept telling us "I'm very worried about that dolphin..." and wouldn't go in any further than the top step. He also sat and watched Chicken Run with Grandad just before we flew home, which made him keep asking on the plane if we had to pedal and why the chickens did because he was sure they didn't drive planes anyway! My camera is broken at the moment, and I only had my phone so unfortunately I only go 2 snaps, but they're beauties:

This is the funny face...

And this is the scary face!

Charlie's Birthday

We had a little party in the park and Charlie had a wonderful time, lots of people to do whatever he wanted!

Here's a group shot of everyone:

And here's the cake we made for him. They're animal candles in the top, in case you're wondering!

He spent a lot of time riding up and down the hill on his bike, got loads of lovely presents and slept for hours when we got home!

"Not fair!"

We had our very first "It's not fair!" yesterday. I think it was something to do with a gingerbread man, I said Charlie couldn't have another and he said "It is NOT fair when I cannot have a gingerbread man. You CAN'T do that to me Mummy!" Melodrama!

Northumberland

Just a few pictures from when we visited Andrew's folks a few weeks ago...

The boys starting to build a sandcastle:

The stage Charlie always calls 'Pat-pat-patting':

Looking victorious behind a construction fit for a king!

Charlie Buckaroo!

Charlie and Andrew invented a new game!

I think the record at the moment is 21 items:

Bedroom finally finished

So we finally got Charlie's room done, and he's quite excited by all the dinosaurs everywhere!

Dinosaurs and bears

Dinosaur pyjamas waiting!

Happy boy in his new bedroom! The things you can see just above his pillow are dinosaur stickers that he is gradually building up. The boy is slightly obsessed at the moment!
