I am tired because yesterday was National Swiss Day and Noah and I didn’t go to bed until after midnight. I had one of the best days of my life.

The best part of the day started when Karen, Simon and Will came over to look at some furniture that Mummy and Daddy have in the garage. I was happy to see Will, as he plays me with a lot, even though he is 9 years old. He is like a really cool older brother. I already have a brother called Noah, but sometimes he is annoying because he snatches my toys and then Mummy tells me to share.

Mummy opened some wine. She kept saying “Why not? It’s Swiss Day!” (She said it a lot yesterday, although later in the day the words got a bit muddled.)

I think that Mummy, Daddy, Karen and Simon were all really thirsty, as they drank a lot of wine. I didn’t mind, as Will, Noah and I got to eat sweets, lollipops and play on the Wii. We ran around outside and also played in my bedroom. There was one big mess, but Mummy seemed too thirsty to worry about it.

The day got even better when Angela, Gedeon, Chloe and Yannick arrived. Chloe brought her hula hoop with her. Mummy made chicken burgers, salad and potatoes and I sat outside with my friends having a little “dinner party”. After our dinner party, Mummy said she was going to make prawns for the grown-ups. The prawns were magic, as they started out big and grey and turned pink (my favourite colour) when she stirred them with her magic wooden spoon. They smelled really spicy. I like spicy and I’m only two.

After dinner, Mummy, Daddy, Angela and Karen sang karaoke. I danced around as they pretended to be David Bowie and Freddie Mercury and sang “Under Pressure”. They sang a lot of Queen songs. I love Queen. “We Will Rock You” is my favourite song in the world.

Then Mummy and Daddy told me they had a surprise. We were all going to go out to the Lake and watch fireworks. I saw fireworks when I was a baby, but I don’t really remember. I have tried “remembering”, by keeping really still and closing my eyes (like the owl, Plop, in the book “The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark” that Mummy reads to us at Story Time). I can’t seem to remember the fireworks, though. I can only remember when I last ate chocolate.

We all walked to the Lake and when we got there it was amazing. There were coloured bangs in the sky and it was very loud, but very pretty. The Lake and the sky were lit up and looked like they were on fire. There was music playing and I danced the whole time, even though I was tired. Mummy said that I had found my “second wind”. It wasn’t windy, though. And my bottom wasn’t windy, either, so I don’t really know what she meant.

Mummy looked the happiest I think I have ever seen her. Daddy looked really happy too and I felt very warm inside. Mummy is beautiful when she is happy.

We came home at midnight and Daddy put us straight to bed. I felt so tired I could barely get into bed and when I did, I don’t remember anything else at all.

So yesterday was one of my best days ever. I love Villeneuve, I love our new friends and I love fireworks. I don’t like being this tired, though, and I don’t like “imprints”, because they make me look silly.

It was my first train journey EVER. Mummy packed my little rucksack and I got to carry this myself. In it, I had: Milk, Snuggle Ted, my jigsaw blocks, my card game from Dobba (Dobba is my Granny in Solihull, West Midlands), my colouring book and my special Badger pencil case with my big wax crayons inside.

The man on the train said “Bonjour” to me and gave me a special ticket (Mummy has kept this for me for my “Little Book of Treasure”). I gave him my best ever “Bonjour”. Mummy even said that I sounded French. (I’m not so sure if that is a good thing as Daddy said a few bad words about French People when he was watching the rugby today.)

The train went very fast and we saw lots of pretty mountains. Lots of people on the train spoke to me, although I couldn’t understand exactly what they were saying. Mummy said that some of them were speaking German. I don’t know what that is, but it sounded weird.

Mummy let me listen to her IPOD and I listened to Queen’s “We Will Rock You” on continuous repeat. It is my favourite song ever.

When we got to Luzern yesterday evening, it was really exciting as Auntie Kath and Emily were waiting for us when we got off the train. There were lots of people and it was a little bit scary, but when I saw them I felt all better.

We got to the apartment and Mummy and Auntie Kath drank gin and tonic, while Emily and I ran around, screaming. It was fun.

Mummy and Auntie Kath said that we could make it a proper “Sleep Over” and I was allowed to share Emily’s room. I felt very grown-up. Emily and I had a really long bath together and splashed around. Auntie Kath then dried my hair with the hairdryer. I felt very sleepy, but very special too.

When we got to Emily’s bedroom, I was allowed to sleep in Emily’s bed and she had a mattress on the floor. Snuggle Ted had got into bed whilst I was in the bath and there was even a big drink of milk waiting for me.

It was one of my best days ever. (Until I fell out of bed just before midnight….luckily, Mummy was there really quickly and helped me back in).

Today we had to come home again. I was sad to leave Auntie Kath and Emily and cried a bit when I said goodbye. But then Mummy told me that I would soon see Daddy and Noah again and I felt all better.

The train was fun coming home, but I was very tired. It was too noisy to sleep and I couldn’t get comfortable. There was a man that kept trying to talk to me. Mummy said that he was only being friendly (but that also he was a Nutter).

Daddy and Noah came to pick us up from Aigle station and when I saw them I felt so happy. I wanted to cry, but it felt different from normal. Daddy was so pleased to see me. Mummy told him that I had been a really good girl. As a special treat, Daddy took us to McDonalds and I ate chicken wings. When we came home, Mummy was particularly happy because Daddy had kept the house tidy. (Mummy is convinced she has Oh-See-Dee, even though she doesn’t look that poorly to me.)

I tried to count all the good things that have happened to me in the last two days, but there were too many. (Mummy said that if I practised counting, it would help me to remember not to miss out 3, 4 and 5, which I keep doing.) I miss Emily already, but Mummy says that she can come and stay when we get to our new home in Villeneuve.

I am going to count the sleeps before then….
