And I Am Spoo-Noo

Noo Noo — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:00:26 +0000

Hello! This is “The New and Improved Noo Noo”. I am improved because I can now say these new words:

Get Down!
Yeah
Nah
Pooey!
Bock….bockle….Bottle!
Cheese
Bay-bee. Baby. (I am a new co-parent to Sophie and Sam).

I can also nearly run, although Mummy always says that I look like “I’ve had a bit to drink” when I do (of course I’ve had a bit to drink. I’ve had a lots actually. Lots of milk. My favourite).

I can now also hit my sister. She hits me a lot and also pushes me over. I can’t push her over. Mummy keeps saying, “Don’t worry, Noo Noo, it won’t be long before you can get your own back.” I am not sure what my back has got to do with anything.

My sister gets a lot of “telling-offs” when she pushes me over. Today she did it so many times that Mummy “flipped her lid” and my sister had to stay in the bedroom for a whole ten minutes. Mummy seemed very angry, so I went and gave her a kiss. This is something else I can now do, although Mummy says my kisses are “slobbery”. I think that “slobbery” means the same as “lovely”. I will keep on kissing her because it makes her happy.

Mummy showed us how to make Spoon Animals yesterday and we made a Spoon Cow and a Spoon Sheep. It was such fun. Mummy said I was a bit “out of control” because I kept eating all the felt pieces, but they felt funny on my tongue. I just couldn’t help it.

My sister had the job of holding the Spoon Animals carefully as the glue dried. Mummy was nearly about to give her a star for doing it so well, but then my sister got grumpy and hit me over the head with the Spoon Sheep. It hurt a lot. I thought Sheeps were soft, but this one wasn’t. I now have a lump on my head and the Spoon Sheep has to go to the Spoon Sheep Hospital for an operation to improve his eyesight in the damaged eye.

I didn’t even get to hold the Spoon Sheep because of my sister. But Mummy has promised me that on the next rainy day with will make a Spoon Chicken and a Spoon Pig and that they will be all mine.

As for the Spoon Cow, he is now missing and we are all beginning to worry for his safety. Mummy says that he will be OK and has probably found a happier, less violent home, after the horror of witnessing his friend, Spoon Sheep, losing his eyesight at the hands of my sister. And in any case, she thinks we may see the arrival of Spoon Cow 2 very soon. I’ll let you know…

I Am Nuts (In A Nutshell)

Hi, this is Squee. Here is a video of me that Mummy took when I was eating spicy nuts. She kept laughing at me, because I was behaving “strangely” apparently. But this time she couldn’t blame it on the sugar. The nuts were very salty. I like salty, and I am only two.

Flash Forward: A Really Actually Very True Phenomenon

Yesterday, in Villeneuve, Switzerland, a mysterious event caused people who were eating fromage frais to simultaneously lose consciousness for 137 seconds.

Luckily, I wasn’t eating fromage frais, so was able to capture this extraordinary sequence of events on film…

First Born

Skye has just opened the door to the bedroom, because she heard Noah starting to wake. She lead him down the hallway, and when I saw him, I smiled my biggest smile and asked him to walk towards me. We are doing our best to give him as much walking practise at the moment!

He took one bored look at me, and nonchalantly crawled in the other direction and onto the rug. I feigned heartbreak, to which Skye said, “Never mind, Mummy. I walk to you.”

She pretended to take wobby steps towards me whilst munching on her breakfast apple, ending the distance between us with a few “sprint finish” steps, and then the biggest cuddle she could muster.

“You are lovely, Skye,” I said, “do you know that you are my First Born?”

She looked up at me with those innocent blue eyes, “First Born, Mummy?”

“Yes,” I replied.

“Skye First Born”, she repeated.

And then, absentmindedly, whilst chewing on her apple, “Skye Born Ready.”
