Whoooooooooaaa today was a big day of eating. I had a week of gastro to make up for so I knew I would have to go out hard and keep up the effort all day.

Today I ate:
2 scrambled eggs
3/4 of mum's bacon
A piece of toast
A small accidental bit of mushroom (ew! Accidental vegetables!)
Two marshmalllows (oh boy, that was a new thing for me)
Most of Dad's hot chocolate (oh BOY that was something else, I couldn't stop squeaking!)
A piece of bread with peanut butter
3.5 bananananas
A cup of milk
A whole apple
3 more bananananas
A piece of maaa maaaa's birthday cake
A bowl of shredded chicken
A large bowl of peas
2 bowls of yoghurt
3 chunks of watermelon

I wasn't kidding about the bananananas, I really wanted another one but maaa maaa hid it.

Maaa maaa says Dadad is going to be changing all my bananana nappies for the next two days!

C • and... 2

First real vomit. I didn't know what hit me, I woke up and found myself all covered in stinking yuck and there were lots of peas which were just like but somehow nothing at all like the peas I had eaten for dinner. It scared me like anything so I cried and cried until maaamaaa came. Maaamaa seems to know all about vomit, she made my bed all nice again and we watched a bad romantic comedy together until I felt better, or at least until going back to bed seemed preferable to watching more tv with maamaa.

C • Curious events. 1

Day of Firsts today:
- first two word sentence
- first haircut
- first farting competition with Dad. I won because Dad didn't even know that I could fart on demand
- first clearly intentional blowing of snot bubbles out of my nose.

Oh and in other news I don't have a mother anymore. She said "you're just like your father!" and disowned me, replaced me with the last snippets of my gorgeous baby curls in a plastic bag. Doesn't matter, she wasn't as fun as Dadad anyway.

Not a whole sentence yet but today I strung two words together for the first time. The two words were "more cars" and nobody was surprised.

C • more cars? 4

I learned a new gymnastics trick this morning!

Dadad took me and my cars shopping this morning. I like shopping with dadad! Mmmum seems to like me shopping with dadad too. First we went to the toy shop and chatted to the toy shop lady about how cute I am and dadad bought me a little tractor and talked about how much better they made cars where he were young.
We went to the toaster shop to tell the toaster man how cute I am and buy a new toaster and talk about how in the olden days toasters were built to last and they didn't stop working just because you set fire to them.
At the bookshop the man thought I was cute and dadad bought me a poster with pictures of animals that he approved of because they were just like the animals from backintheday.
We went to bunnings to chat to a lot of old ladies about how cute I am and we bought a strawberry pot and then anticlimactically didn't buy any strawberry plants.
We stopped at he coffee cat on the way home to chat to Sammy the seal but he was out, so we had to settle for some intervals up and down the ramp and playing with the coffee buzzer.
Yawwwwn, after all that, and most of all after doing all that without letting go of my cars for even one second, I was pretty tired so I went to sleep after only a moderately large lunch. Yawn.

Mmmum says that I am not to talk with my mouth full. This seems silly to me, because taking the half-chewed food out of my mouth to talk and then putting it back in again is messy and time-consuming.
Dinner was especially time-consuming tonight anyway because it was so big. I ate some rice crackers, a whole cornonthecob, two large bowls of Bol and veggies (not Spag Bol, because if there is pasta in the bowl I will not touch the sauce), seven (seven!) cruskits with blue cheese, a cup of milk and a quarter of a chip that dadad dropped. My tummy was pretty big after that and I almost didn't fit in the bath.

I had a big day today, so many cars!

Dadad still isn't here - the first thing I did when I woke up today, after getting my cars, was to run around the house shouting Da! in case he was hiding but when he didn't even emerge for scrambled eggs i figured he mustn't be here. Mmmum said he is in kalgoorlie where the big trucks were, riding his buk really fast.

I had to put my cars down to eat eggs, but that didn't take long and then we took my cars to the park. It is hard to carry them all, and I don't trust mmmum to help so it took a while to get to the park, I had to keep stopping to pick up my cars. At the park I pushed the cars around in the sand and buried the cars and put the cars on the swing and pushed the cars down the slide and lined up all the cars on the chairs and practised throwing cars.

On the way home we stopped to show georgia my cars but only quickly because we had to get in the car to take my cars to the coffee cat to show Gen and Marli and baby Banjo my cars. They all liked my cars but we had to go home after a while and take my cars to bed for a nap.

After I woke up I got in the pram with my cars and my sponge and I went to the park with georgia and tom, where we wrapped my cars in my sponge and unwrapped them again one million times and geogia played on the slide.

Mmmum was still at home, so after a while we went home to find her, and georgia (6) got mmmum and Lara some wine again and we played with cars until dinner time. I cried a bit in the bath because mmmum says cars don't go in the bath but then we read a book about cars until bed time.

Yawn... I'm looking forward to another big day tomorrow.

Oh, mmmum says I have to say "Hi Caitlyn". I'm not sure why, is that a new sort of car?
