Today we went to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, with Rory, Martin & Tanya (and obviously Lani and Fredde). You guys seemed to have the best time, and loved seeing the animals. You spent a lot of time looking for farm animals, before realising there were actually Lions and Tigers there (even though they were asleep and didn't want to move!).
You spent a lot of time on the climbing frame, and Daddy and I were very grateful that it was a lovely warm sunny day!
There was a squirrel monkey enclosure, and you stood right next to them and fed them a leaf. They also tried to steal Daddy's sunglasses off his face!
We saw tigers and lions, a leopard, monkeys, goats, guinea fowl, zebra's, capybara, squirrel monkeys, meerkats, bison, zebu & wallabies. You got absolutely filthy with the others, and fell asleep on the way home.
Daddy & I had stayed up to see the Olympic ceremony the night before, so we were very tired. I got around by drinking a lot of coffee and Daddy got around on willpower alone! ;)
We got home in time to watch the GP qualifying in Hungary. Hamilton has pole :D

Music
Today the weather finally broke, and was lovely. Daddy came home at lunchtime (as he'd been away in Sheffield on a work's night out). We sat in the garden on the trampoline, with our drinks.
You decided we should go on a picnic soon. You want a sandwich, an apple and a banana. You then wanted to talk about music, and told us you like blues.
You currently love the Maroon 5 album 'Overexposed', with One More Night, Payphone and Lucky Strike, being your favourite tracks, that you sing every time you hear them. My mobile ringtone is 'Move like Jagger' as it's the first Maroon 5 song you fell in love with. 'Stereo Hearts' by Gym Class Heroes (feat. Adam Levine), always reminds us of Josh, as we heard it in HMV the day you rode a car in there and pulled CDs off the shelf.
You love singing the chorus to 'Ill Manors' by Plan B, and today you were wandering around the house singing 'Shake it Out' by Florence and the Machine.
Daddy has given you his blue ukelele, and you like to pick it up and sing, dance and pretend to play 'Oh Sugar' (aka 'Love is Blind') by Annie Lennox. You sing along so beautifully.
You have an opinion on everything, you like to share with your friends, you're a whizz on your scooter, and you love talking. You're also incredibly good at it.

This week
DS1, you've turned 3 - I can't believe how the time has flown. I also can't believe I'm still not updating this more regularly, but time keeps getting away from me.
Your birthday was brilliant. You wanted Spiderman everything, and that's what you got! I made you a Spiderman cake, which you loved, and you got many many Hexbugs from your Uncles and Aunties (Uncle Dave, Uncle Mark & Aunty Shona, and Aunty Helen). You wanted a skateboard from us, and we also got you a bigger scooter (you call it your posh scooter - it's a No Fear orange trick one). Uncle Toby bought you Alex the Aardvark, who you adore, and created a blog for you, which you followed avidly until Alex arrived! Uncle Toby loves you very much :)
