A busy, busy day

George had a busy, busy day today. He went swimming with his daddy first thing, and then while his daddy went to work on the boat, George played outside on his scooter while I cleaned the inside of the car. The car hasn't been cleaned since the weather turned cold, so there was a great deal of outdoor exercise taken, because the cleaning took a long time. His friends M & S came out to play, so George enjoyed chasing them up and down the road as they cycled.

He was very good and stuck to the limits that I gave him (no further than that house that way, that house the other way, and don't go on the road). He complained that his scooter had a squeaky wheel, but it was actually the perfect way to keep track of him.

After lunch George helped me to make cherry scones and chocolate brownies. He tasted the cherry scones which surprised me as he has always refused cherry scones so far, and pronounced them as being fine. He did prefer the brownies though.

George also helped me weed the garden. He has always helped me with the garden. The advantage this year is that he recognises the weeds, instead of just pulling the heads of everything.

It was such a busy, busy day that he asked to go to bed at 6.30pm. He'd already had his roast chicken dinner at 5pm, so there was no problem with an early night. He should certainly sleep well!
