OK, not exactly as I haven’t been instructing Papa to grow any cabbages this year but here’s me with the broccoli and kohl rabi, just waiting for it to all grow so I can munch on it.

There was a strange creature in the garden today. I don’t know what it is but it looked very cute, apart from all the spikes on its back.

Days here are a lot busier than at home, I think because there is a lot more to do. I vaguely remember that Mama drove Opa’s brmm brmm last year but today she definitely did, taking us to the shopping centre where Oma works and I got to run around, generally look cute, be adored by old people and explore the Lego section of the supermarket with Papa.
When we got back I heard that apparently there is a Fish Festival on somewhere in town so I convinced everyone that we should go. IT was fun, there were lots of rides on a fair but I was too small for them yet. Maybe next year, but for now I settled for playing with the wheels on the brmm brmms. Papa of course went and had a whole bratwurst to himself but I settled for stealing bits from Oma’s plate.

After we got back I played in the garden, which is much better when it is light because you can actually see things. There are lots of toys here for me to play with and I haven’t managed to walk from one side of the garden to the other yet, I think I would get lost. (hint to Mama and Papa, buy house with bigger garden for me to play in).
I did however have a slight accident. I was running so fast that I fell over on the bricks and grazed both of my knees. I’ve never done this before but it hurt a lot and Mama and Oma had to put these things on me to stop the cuts getting dirty. They also put something called Magic Cream on my too. I don’t think it can be that magic, it still hurt afterwards.

I’ve been exploring the garden the last few weeks but for some reason Mama and Papa weren’t too keen on me digging out the soil with my hands, I have no idea why, it’s really fun stuff especially if you mix it with water.

Anyway, the other day I came home and they’d brought me some yellow garden tools. I have to say it makes digging even bigger holes much easier although I think it will take me a very long time to dig a hole as big as Papa’s. He cheats, he’s got a much bigger spade than me.

For some strange reason, Papa doesn’t like me getting too close to the broccoli.

Giddyup Papa!

Today I helped Mama out harvesting the spinach. I of course put it into very neat piles for her so that she could cook it up and freeze it for later.

Such a helpful little boy I am.

I was bought a hammer for my birthday and the last few days I have been testing it out. So far I have discovered that it is very useful for hitting wooden things, papa’s elbow and head, Mama’s legs but not so useful for hitting my foot.

The other day all this white stuff appeared.

Me and Mama played in it and I built a man. It’s very cold to touch but lots of fun to throw.

Can’t find it anywhere….

Anyway, we’re all off for a few weeks on holiday so I will have to sign off for a little while and wish everyone a happy christmas. Ta ta for now.

I’ve decided instead of building new galleries of photos, simply to post them direct inot the blog and set up a category for them. Enjoy, this is me in my Egyptian gear.
