Friday 31st October
I've been very good, patient and kind today. When the INCIDENT occurred Mum left Andrew with me while she cleared up. I played very nicely with Andrew for ten minutes or more. I found the hair clippers and showed him those.

I never stop talking, just by the way, I'm always saying "I think this" or "I'm going to do that" or "I've got an idea" or something similar. I like to fill up any silences with at least a small amount of noise.

Thursday 30th October
The most important thing that happened today was that Mum bought me some very special Fimble™ pyjamas. I'm really rather pleased with them and I expect I will be asking to go out in them all day tomorrow. I've gone off the tellytubbies now. I went off them the day after Mum managed to get a tubbie duvet cover. I have been very lucky to receive Fimbo, Florrie and Pom as presents and they are now my constant companions.

Wednesday 29th October
It's been a very difficult day today because ANDREW has been shouting lots and lots. Despite being told to lie still when he's having his nappy changed he will persist in rolling all around the place. Anyhow, when he was crying I gave him one of my dummies to calm him down. He didn't really know what to do with it, but he looked like he appreciated the gesture.

Tuesday 28th October
Today I have been very reasonably behaved. I have also said some funny things to Mum and Dad. I told Mum to "stay there" again when we were in the park. This left me free to go and jump in some puddles. She caught me out though because she said we probably shouldn't go to the playground if anyone had wet feet, and my feet were quite wet.

We did go to the park eventually and I while we were sitting in our little house I warned Mum about the admittedly very small step at the threshold. I said that she should be very very careful of the step.

I got a free biscuit in Sainsburys from the man who runs the whole shop. It was because we had to wait for ages at the bakery counter because I wanted either a mouse biscuit or a gingerbread man. It was the tastiest gingerbread man ever and I ate his feet first.

Monday 27th October
I played an excellent trick on Mum today. First I made sure that she was in the kitchen and then I went in and told her that she should "stay right here". Her first mistake was in listening to me. Then, stealthily, I went into the living room and just for good measure I shut the door. Mum's second mistake was to not open the door.

Next, very carefully I tore open the box of chocolates and effected an entry and removal hole. Veeeery carefully I took a few chocolates out and ate them. I ate two. I tried a third one but it was an orange cream and only Dad likes those so I put it back in the packet. Eventually Mum noticed the tell tale signs of liquid chocolate running down my chin and the whole sorry tale came out. She didn't mind too much though.

Sunday 26th October
We all went to granma's old house today to do some tidying up. My specialist skills were needed to mend the hoover. Dad helped and eventually it worked properly again. It was probably my hitting it with a screwdriver that actually fixed it rather than anything Dad did.

I had a lovely time playing the piano with Andrew. It was a kind of a duet, Andrew's hits were less controlled than mine but we played a lovely barely recognisable tune all the same.

"Andrew is only a tiny tiny tiny baaaaaby..."

Another long journey home in the afternoon and it was dark when we got home.

Saturday 25th October
It's still very cold. I'm very surprised that I woke up at all this morning it was so cold. Anyway - There are some heaters in the kitchen so it will get a bit warmer.

Esther and Hannah arrived this afternoon and they brought my other long lost aunt with them. Bek has got pink hair now. Very unusual. Anyway - i gave her a few hard stares which she endured. I expect she will get along fine as my new aunt. Hannah was kind enough to cuddle me to sleep at bedtime.

Friday 24th October
It's a special holiday day for Dad and we are all going to see Grandma in her new house. You may remember that she had to get a new one because her old one was dirty. Anyway - I didn't help too much with the preparations - i was probably more of a hinderance than a help.

We found Grandma's house exactly where she said it would be and I helped a bit by looking around the whole house, which is very long and big. You can fit two of our front rooms into her front room. I made lots of helpful comments like "aha" and "oho" as I looked around. Grandma had kept all my toys out so I was able to have some fun with those.

Her house is very cold though and it took some bravery to have a bath.

Thursday 23rd October
It's happened at last - I am front page news. I knew eventually that the public would catch up with me and today, that day finally arrived. My picture on the front of the paper which is 35p WHERE SOLD. You don't get much more prestige than that when you're only two.

In more less famous and mundane news I helped Dad tidy up the front room this evening in a very efficient way, I personally tidied all of Andrew's toys up, which admittedly I did tip out. I was a bit upset that Dad didn't ask for my autograph though.I do a good line in writing "Peter" at the moment. I usually like to do it on my magnetic writing thing.

Dad asked me if I could say "Rufus Wainwright" today. I said... "errr, no thank you, because I am just going to eat my tea"

Wednesday 22nd October
There has been some good behaviour today and some bad behaviour. It's not wise to dwell on the bad behaviour, so really any readers should concentrate and focus on my good behaviour.

Tuesday 21st October
We went to the park today and there was a man called Neville who wanted to take some photographs of park users in the colourful autumn leaves. I'm afraid that I wasn't much help. I looked closely at all the leaves while he was busy watching and as soon as he turned his back I threw the leaves into the air. Just like he wanted me to. Apart from he wasn't watching when I did it. This is my secret ability.

Dad said: "are you alright Peter" I said "errr. no thank you, i'm doing a poo actually."

Monday 20th October
The day started very well. I'm sorry to say that it didn't stay that way at all. The best thing that happened today was me seeing a huuuuge aeroplane - Mum said it was Concorde. It was the biggest plane that I've ever seen.

Sunday 19th October
It's been a very interesting day today. I was playing with my special magnetic notepad and I had a few ideas. Within a few minutes I had drawn my first proper face (one eye and two eyes and a mouth...) and then I started impressing dad by drawing some letters. I drew a P and a T and an S and an A and a D and a H and a O and a X. Maybe I drew a few others too. I'm not sure. Dad was very pleased and in typical Dad style he tried to get me to write my name down. I drew him a series of abstract lines in the style of one of the great avant garde artists. That should teach him a lesson.

I have got some new mangetic letters for my fridge to play with. Yes. You read correctly. Mangetic letters for my fridge to play with. All my favourites are there, and some of my not so favourites too. I also have all the numbers. My favourite ones at the moment are S,T,H,B,V,D,J,4,6,8,2 and L becuase they are the green ones. I've grouped them all together in one special area. I suspect that Mum and Dad will be writing messages on the fridge after I have gone to bed, so my arrangement will be ruined. Again.

Saturday 18th October
It's official - I need new pants. I've grown out of the old ones and they are starting to become very uncomfortable, If I may quote from my illustrious Aunt - they are strangling my bottom. NEW PANTS PLEASE!

I had several lovely quiet times with Mum today because Dad took Andrew out somewhere. This gave Mum and I some precious precious book and puzzle time without the constant danger of destruction that Andrew brings to the equation.

I've also started to use the word "I" a lot more today - just for fun. I'll see how useful it is before I decide to keep it in my vocabulary. I can't belive it's more useful than earlobe - which I've used twice today.

Friday 17th October
I have learnt a few new words for things today. Mum taught me Tyranasaurus rex - "tana-rana-soo-rus" - and Dad taught me earlobe. I prefer tana-rana-soo-rus to earlobe, although I can see that earlobe might be the more useful word. TANA-RANA-SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-RUS!!!

Thursday 16th October
I did lots of colouring in my special colouring book today. I was especially proud of my work on the little bear at the front of the book. I did get a little slapdash towards the end of the book though and I can't honestly say that the clown represents my best work.

Wednesday 15th October
I went to the library today and selected some books on my own. I chose each one on separate journeys up and down the library. As well as getting some nice books, I was also getting some much needed exercise.

I made some art today too. Mum cut out some flower shapes and I licked them and stuck them onto some bits of card. We made lots of flowers from all the petal shapes. Dad's one was the best. I am assured he will be hanging it up at work somewhere.

I'm learning to say "giant excavator" but it keeps coming out as "giant acher-baker".

Tuesday 14th October
I did some speed puzzle building today. Mum went into the kitchen and when she came back I had finished the bob the builder puzzle. Very difficult I can tell you.

I did some special rolling around playing with Andrew today. I think I was very lucky not to make him cry. I lay on my back and rolled Andrew on to my tummy and around onto the floor. I was careful not to bang his head. Andrew thought the whole game was very funny indeed.

We went to the park with Mum in the afternoon and I sat with Mum on the swings for a long time. We looked at the tops of the trees and the sky and had a lovely time.

Monday 13th October
I've had to put up with a lot today. Andrew has been sooooooo grumpy. He has made an awful lot of fuss and bother and it's been me that has had to put up with it. I am doing a good job learning to read books quietly. Sometimes I might even try to do a puzzle in a secret corner somewhere. I was thinking of asking Dad to make me a private corner for that sort of activity. I wonder if he can invent something? We shall see.

I did some lovely paintings today - There were some special green ones that I did for Dada and a few red ones too. I'm thinking of maybe moving on to blue soon. I would have used it today, but I couldn't quite reach the pot.

Sunday 12th October
Today has been the perfect day for doing some puzzles. A little bit windy outside and nice and warm inside. Near pefect conditions. Andrew roaming around the floor adds some danger to the proceedings. I did several large floor puzzles even before breakfast. Sometimes I have to retire to the kitchen table because Andrew gets too interested and starts undoing the puzzles for me. When I've finished a puzzle I generally like to take one piece out and put it in again. I may repeat this a number of times. It gives you that "I've just finished a puzzle" feeling almost for no effort.

We went out for tea. Dad ordered me a delicious pizza which I did not eat. I did the Bob the Builder colouring book instead.

My favourite phrase at the moment is "err... no thank you".

Saturday 11th October
I have been a little bit sick today. There's a rash on my face and I feel a bit floppy. I was too floppy to go shopping even, and that's usually something that I quite like to do. Eventually I went out with Mum into town to meet Dad and Andrew and as a treat I got to sit in the back of the pushchair, which is usually Andrew's sole domain.

The afternoon was spent being either grumpy or sleeping. I do have a new toy though - it's a fimble. I was alternately Grumpy and Floppy with a little bit of good mixed in when Gaye and Toni came to visit.

Friday 10th October
I was trying to get Dad to help me with a puzzle this evening. He had just managed to read me a few books, but he dropped the last one. After that I moved onto my puzzle because his eyes were shut and he wouldn't read anymore. I kept asking him if "this piece goes in here" and "Daddy, does this bit go in here I think" but there was no answer. Eventually I had to bang him on the tummy and only then did he say "yes yes....Zzzzz". Rubbish Dad. He did let me jump on his tummy though, so that made up for it.

Thursday 9th October
I have been doing some singing today and plenty of it. For example: "Have I ever looked at a Fimble, where is it? Over there" - I'm not sure they are the exact words, but they are close enough. The other songs were "honey-penny, two a penny" and "up up up the sky above, like a diamond. It's bunken". Sometimes it's best to make up your own words. They are often better.

I was feeling a little bit sick in the evening and so I couldn't really manage to eat any tea, which was a shame, because Dad had made me some Hat-car and had made the extra effort to spell my name in cheese. The last I saw of it, my name had gone a bit crumbly and curly at the edges. Maybe I will get my name in cheese again one day soon.

Wednesday 8th October
Mum has bought me a lovely toy or "toooooo" as I like to call them. It's a floor map with some roads and things on and some tiny tiny wooden cars that I can push around. Andrew was trying to help me but he doesn't enjoy the pushing so much, he's still more into the sucking of the cars. I don't mind too much, even when they come back all drooly.

Andrew and I had a lot of fun chasing each other around the floor - I had to resort to crawling so that he could keep up with me because he STILL can't walk yet, although he is trying very hard. Everytime Dad stood up we crawled under his legs. It was very funny when he fell over onto the sofa. He didn't hurt himself too much though. I made up for it by jumping on his tummy.

Tuesday 7th October
I tried eating some more noodles today. They were very nice but there is a small problem - they take ages and ages to eat when you do it one at a time. They are "beaufitul" though.

I played a lovely game of "did we see a monkey" with Dad today, it's a very good game. Dad asks me, "did we see a..." and I say "oh no thank you" until Dad gets to an animal that I like. Then I say "thank you, yes please, did we see a monkey" or whatever animal it is. It's usually a monkey though. Monkeys are the best.

Monday 6th October
I've been exceptionally well behaved today. I put it down mainly to not having to listen to a grumbling small brother all afternoon. Although there have been no surprise hugs from me, so that may account for the lack of grumbling. I imagine it's a two way thing. Yin and Yang. Give and take - that kind of thing.

I did some leaf printing today. Mum helped me paint a few leaves and we stuck them to a bit of paper. Then we pulled them off again. Then we stuck some more on. Mum seemed to be having lots of fun so I let her do most of the actual artwork. I was more interested in washing up in the sink.

"It's fishened." That's what I say when I've completed a puzzle. During the actual puzzle completion process I may use other phrases - "This bit goes in here I think"; "we'll need this bit" and "this bit is rubbish".

Sunday 5th October
We EVENTUALLY went to the park today, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to write a strongly worded letter (or email) to one or other of my parents to complain in the strongest possible terms about the length of wait I had to endure before my eventual first go on the slide. First Mum had Dad had to do a load of jobs, then Mum went out, then Mat-ca and At-ca came to visit and then Andrew fell asleep and then we had lunch AND THEN AND ONLY THEN did we venture to the park. It was very very windy and cold too, although I'm told that there's nothing Mum or Dad can do about that.

I did have a lovely time playing with At-ca this morning though - she sat down with me and I showed her all my cars and then we played the "which one's coming now" game. This is where I pose the question "Which one's coming now??" and then reveal the answer by sliding the car of my choice over the floor for Aleks (At-ka) to make a pile with. It's a great game and even better when the person you're playing it with has several online shrines.

Saturday 4th October
I ate some noodles today. First Mum told me that I would like them if I tried and then Dad told me that I would like them if I tried them. I didn't really believe either of them for ages and ages - until I tried one very very tiny one and then I discovered that Mum and Dad had been telling the truth - I DID LIKE THEM and so I ate a few more. I only wish I had believed Mum and Dad earlier - then they wouldn't have been quite so cold.

Friday 3rd October
Andrew has been driving me bonkers today. He's been tearing up my carefully constructed puzzles and making his terrible racket. I've been very good about the whole thing and haven't exacted any kind of revenge.

I've been singing a lovely song about 5 lovely firemen today. Apparently they are all quite good at putting out fires even though there are progressively less firemen to do the fire putting out job as the song progresses. GREAT!

Thursday 2nd October
There will be no news today.

Wednesday 1st October
It turns out that I may be a puzzle genius. I seem to have an innate ability to correctly place a piece in it's correct position. It's either that or the fact that I have done each puzzle in my collection about 100 times. Thankfully Mum bought me some new ones at the weekend which are challenging my abilities to their very limits.

P**. T*ilet. I think I've said enough.

I've been a very well behaved boy today and this time there are photographs to prove it. Mum took a lovely one of Andrew and me, I'm going to get Dad to put it on the pictures page. It's about time he did some work over there. I also ate some sausage at tea time. I think Dad may have tricked me into eating it but it turned out to be quite nice really.
