Greetings

Thought I'd say a few things again for a change. In the photo you see me helping grandma bake. I think she is a bit careless, leaving things so close to the edge that they fall on top of me when I pass...she blamed me, which I think is a bit unfair, I was just going to push the bowl further away, honestly! Otherwise I've been very good, helping out whenever I can. I'm sure it's good for things in the drawers to come out and breathe once in a while and I think it's nice to see them spread out on the floor. I'm sure mummy doesn't know everything she has in her drawers, I do her a favor by showing her what there is. Strangely enough I heard her mumble something about hating small things the other day. I can't understand that, she must be joking, since she has so many tiny, interesting things in all the cupboards and drawers. But since I aim to please, I've sometimes put the things back in the cupboard - it's actually quite funny what a fuss both she and grandma has made about it, patting and kissing me and telling me what a good boy I've been. Sometimes I help mother when she empties the box with plates and stuff. I don't quite understand her, she doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind. Sometimes she complements me for lifting up the plates to her, othertimes she says "no, no, no" when I try to give her the plates! She says they are dirty then, I just think it's strange that they sometimes have to be there, sometimes not.

Now I've also figured out I can stand on top of things to reach better. You'd think mummy would be proud, but no, she just sighed and started moving things even higher. I don't think it looks nice when everything is stacked on the highest shelf, but maybe that is just a matter of taste.

One thing I don't like is when mummy insists on sticking a brush into my mouth every evening, and sometimes even in the morning. I'd like to just suck the nice stuff from the brush, I really don't like any brushing inside my mouth, then I throw myself on the floor and shut my mouth tight. Lately I've been a bit busy playing with the running water from the tap, so mummy has managed to sneak in the brush. I heard another mother tell her to let me play with the water - that was a very smart mother.

A word I've heard a lot, and which I can say myself is "kakka" (=poo). I seem to be leaking "downstairs", but I don't quite understand it myself. Once I was pressing the buttons on the tv without any pants on, when something happened...suddenly there was a pile of stinking stuff just behind me. I ran to mummy who was in the toilet and pointed at the strange thing. She must've thought it was serious as well, judging by the speed with which she grabbed a cloth and wiped it up and kept saying "usch, kakka" when I wanted to touch it. She seems to say that word many times a day, and she doesn't seem to be too happy about it. I don't like it that much either, because sometimes it burns as well. I think mummy is rather upset about that at times, when she says my bum is red. She thought it was because of something I ate, but now she thinks it's because I have gotten so many teeth. This week my gum has been itching a lot, and I have to admit, I have been in a bad mood because of it. Then I throw myself on the floor when mummy doesn't let me have what I want, but it doesn't really work, because usually she lifts me into her lap and starts dancing around with me - then I forget what I was upset about, because I can't help giggling when she swirls around. And usually I'm in a good mood, if I'm not too tired or have a sore bum or gum.

The other day I was amazed at how fast grandma could actually move. I had gotten hold of her purse and had to run, because she was came after me so fast. But then she was out of breath as well. Mummy seems to have trouble lifting me up when she is lying in her bed. I think she should do some work-out, I like to play being an airplane.

We also go out most days, I especially like to sit in puddles after the rain. In the sandbox mummy complains that I should do the work myself. I don't see why, I like to look at her baking sandcakes for me, which I then can destroy. It's good for her to be active as well, I think. Well, that was a bit about what I've been up to lately. I'll let you know how I'm getting on again when I feel the time is right!
