I woke up at 5.45 and wasn´t happy until mummy took me into her bed. There we cuddled and fell back to sleep and I didn´t even notice dad getting up and gong to work. We slept till 8 and then I decided I wanted to have breakfast before getting dressed. Mummy let me but said we will not do that again on a Lita day cause I had breakfast for ages and then I was in no hurry to get dressed and we were running a bit late then. Mummy was getting a tad stressed then when I made a big scene because I wanted her to use a different tissue for wiping my nose.

When we got to Kita, Morgenkreis had just started and I slipped in real quickly.

Mommy picked me up from Kita when we had just gone back outside after tea. I was not too happy cause i hadn´t had a chance to take out a bike from the shed. But mummy had Judy and my green bike (Laufrad) in the car and we went for a walk along the canal. Mummy also brought a little bag for me to put any treasures into that I find. So I picked up lots of stones and collected them to investigate them at home. On the way we met the two huge dogs that are always being walked there. One of them barked at me and I got a bit scared at first and hid behind mummy. The owner told me that the doggy is barking cause he wants to play, so I picked up the ball that was right in front of him and threw it. He brought it back and I threw it a few more times. Mummy said I was very brave.

We went down to the canal along a steep set of stairs. We watched Judy go into the water and the ducks swimming along. I climbed up on the banister there and slipped off and mommy caught my arm and let me down to the ground gently.

When we came back up I remembered that we had een given choclate at Kita. I told mummy and got quite upset when she said we have to wait till the next day to ask Angela about it cause she hadn´t seen any on my shelf. So she said we could go back to Kita and see if we can find anything. I think she wasn´t sure wether to believe me cause I had handed her a sweet wrapper when she picked me up and she thought that may have been what it was. But I told her that the chocolate was hanging up and not lying on the shelf so she said maybe she did really miss ist when she picked up my hat and scarf from upstairs. When we got to Kita I ran up the stairs and found the little bag with chocolate hanging on my hook! I had one piece straight away and we kept the others for later. But there was an Easter egg in the bag as well; plastic and when I opened it there was play-doh inside. I played with it for the rest of the day and when I foud my knife on the table I ket cutting it up and putting it back together.

Today daddy picked me up from Kita and we went shopping before heading home. When we got there mummy was just coming in as well from her course and she had brought me a magic bubble bath ball! It was really big and when I put it in my bath water later it started bubbling and going all white with tiny bubbles so I washed it off and then it went back to purple and then white again straight away. So I kept washing it and washing it and it became smaller and smaller. Very interesting! When it was quite small already mommy convinced me to put it away and keep it for another day.

Today we went to Rostock to stay with Greta and Käthe and their parents for a night. We stopped for lunch on the way and I shared daddy´s  cucumber salad and then had chicken and mashed potatoes.

When we got there I was really happy to see everyone and Stefan was playing with me and Greta and Käthe showed me all the toys in their bedroom. We had cake and then we went to the beach! I love the beach! Judy went with us as well and mommy was running around with her to keep herself warm. I was wrapped up really well so I didn´t feel cold and I went up on a very high climbing frame with Greta. I went up higher and higher and daddy couldn´t reach me anymore from the bottom. Then I started crying big time; I´m not even sure why but I think when I saw Käthe get the toys out and play in the sand I wanted to get down and realised how high up I was all of a sudden. But daddy rescued me.

Then we went for dinner at a tchec restaurant and they had a great playcorner where I spent most of the time there together with Greta. I had Knödel in gravy, very yummy!

When we got back home it was high time to get ready for bed. Greta helped me undress and get in my new sleeping bag. I slept on a matress in Greta and Käthe´s room which was very exciting. Unfortunately I slept very badly and mommy spent half the night calming me down. I think the day had just been too exciting.

Next morning we went to a church after breakfast and went all the way up into the tower. Mommy and I took the elevator and the others took the stairs. We had a nice view over Rostock and saw Judy far below us, waiting beside a bench.

Back home we had lunch and then I went back to playing with Greta and Käthe. We had great fun with their dad chasing us around. At lunch we talked about the baby in their mummies belly and then Greta showed her big belly and said there was a baby in there, too and then Käthe and I showed our big bellies, too and we all had babies in there!

I slept all the way home!

Today mummy picked me up from Kita when it was snowing big time outside. She had brought the sled and Judy was waiting in the car so then we had a lovely walk along the canal by the Kita. I was letting mummy pull me around and kept putting my hand in the snow and eating it. „Ice!“ Then we tried to build a snowman but Judy kept biting into the ball we were making. In the end we put a snowball onto a stick and I was eating it like icecream while mummy kept pulling the sled. We found a little hill and went up and down three times. Then we tried to go up the other side, which was very steep. It didn´t work; we kept falling over but I didn´t cry at all! So then we turned back and mummy sent the sled down first and it went down down down all the way into the canal! I wasn´t sure what to think about that and when mummy pulled my leg to slide me down on my bum bum I got a bit upset cause I thought I was gonna slide down down down into the water, too! But mummy got me down safely to level ground and then I was very well behaved, waiting while mummy rescued the sled out of the water. Judy had eating my lollipop-icecream in the meantime so mummy made me a new one and then we headed back to the car cause our hands and feet were getting cold. On the way home mummy said it could take a little longer cause the roads were slippy and all the cars were goig very slowly. But it wasn´t so bad and Judy and I were being very good for mummy. At home I helped mummy clean up Toby´s sick and when Judy went to bed I got my blanket from my bed and put it on her. When I went to bed 2 hours later we were looking for the blanket and Judy was still lying under it! She must have been very tired. I wasn´t tired at all after 1,5 hours in the snow and was jumping around in bed and told mummy I didn´t need to go to bed but she said when she left the room I passed out straight away; she didn´t hear one little peep even.

Today I told everyone at Kita that my mommy was coming back on the airplane and that she will pick me up after my sleep.

When she arrived I was VERY happy and we cuddled for a loooong time. Then we took our time going home and mummy told me a bit about auntie Zozo and auntie Deirdre and that she had gotten a little present for me. I was very excited then and asked her a couple of times about my little present and when we got home I took off my shoes and coat really fast to then get my pressie off mummy. It was a soft ball! I loved it and we played with it for a while, throwing it back and forth. I caught it loads of times!

 

When I woke up I was in a great mood and we had nice breakfast together before mom and dad started packing for Halle. I was excited to go see Omi Evi and Opa Günther and Uwe; so much so that I couldn´t sleep in the car. I looked at the diggers by the road and played for a bit with daddy, had some bread, cucumber and pepper and when we were nearly there I finally did fall asleep, but woke up 5 minutes later when we stopped. For lunch we had duck and potatoes and red cabbage and I had LOADS! Just like yesterday where I ate more that mom or dad altogether.

Then mommy tried to put me to bed, but again I couldn´t sleep, just like the last 2 days. She even put me beside her own bed and lay down herself, but while she nodded off twice, I stayed awake and talked or sang to myself. Then we had cake and milk and mommy, uncle Uwe, daddy and I then headed off for a walk in the buggy. I was still hyper and hat just been singing „Happy Birthday“ when I went out like a light and slept for an hour, partly on Oma and Opa´s terrace.

Daddy woke me up at 6 pm and I finally got to open my presents! I got a doctor set, a puzzle AND the game I know from Kita, Lotti Karotti! I love that game and hope we can play it together tomorrow! I also got a little carpet for beside my bed.
