Heute sind wir nach Feyas Mittagsschlaf mit der Kirnitzschtal-Straßenbahn gefahren. Feya saß in der Nähe von zwei Wanderern und hat schüchtern gespielt. Am Lichtenhainer Wasserfall – der nur alle halbe Stunde richtig geflutet wird und ansonsten vor sich hin tröpfelt – sind wir ausgestiegen und mussten auf die Anstrengung erst einmal ein Eis essen.

Als Wanderziel hatten wir uns den Kuhstall ausgesucht. Die Wanderung dorthin war als kinderfreundlich gepriesen. Doch es ging ordentlich bergauf über viele Stufen. Feya interessierte sich für alle umgefallenen Bäume und Baumstümpfe. Als wir an einem kleinen Gebäude mit Holztür vorbeikamen, erzählte die Mama ihr, dass das Haus der sieben Geißlein sei. Wir klopften alle wie der Wolf an die Tür, aber es machte niemand auf.

Ein wenig weiter den Berg hinauf hörten die Stufen auf und der Weg wurde breiter, aber Feya wollte nicht mehr laufen. So hat der Papa sie auf die Schultern genommen und bis nach oben getragen – die Strecke war länger als erwartet. Am Ende hat der Papa gut geschwitzt und Feya hat auf Papas Schultern auch etwas davon abbekommen.

Aber der Kuhstall hat den anstrengenden Aufstieg gerechtfertigt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen natürliches Felsentor mit dahinter liegender Aussicht in die Böhmische Schweiz mit vielen Sandsteinfelsen. Mama entdeckte dort einen weiteren Weg, der zur Himmelsleiter führte, und Feya und Papa machten sich auf den Weg.

Feya wollte jedoch lieber alleine über die Felsen klettern und so stieg Papa alleine die Himmelsleiter hinauf, eine Metalltreppe in einer Felsspalte ohne jegliches Geländern. Von oben war die Aussicht noch grandioser. Feya und Mama inspizierten inzwischen alle Einbuchtungen der Felsen.

Beim Abstieg spielten wir 1,2,3,Jump und Feya durfte zwei Mal im Gras auf Toilette gehen. Wir klopften wieder mit Stöckern an die Tür am Wegesrand (auch diesmal öffnete oder antwortete niemand) und ließen die Stöckchen anschließend von einer kleinen Brücke in die Kirnitzsch fallen.

My second day on holidays
Last night I got into mommies bed about 5 times; she was trying to tell me to wait till morning and kept bringing me back to my bed. At 6 she let me in again and we slept all cuddled up till 7.40. Mommy does like it really; she always used to moan about me not being a cuddly baby. But now I cuddle her loads and give her kisses and she loves it! I got dressed before breakfast this time and then I was too excited to eat, I spilled stuff and was playing with my food till mommy said I could wash my hands and go outside and she would follow me in a minute. When she came out I was already in the middle of feeding the animals with Frau Mandry and Michelle. We fed the rabbits and the guinea pigs and mommy told Judy to stay away and she was really good even though she was not on the lead. Then we fed the pigs and Paul joined us. Frau Mandry let the chickens out and I threw grains down for them from a bucket she had given to me. Frau Mandry said tomorrow I get to take out the fresh eggs from the nest. Then we went to see the goats and Cameroon sheep and alpacas and fed them pellets. They love that stuff and get a bit pushy trying to get to it.

My first day on holidays
This morning I woke up at 6am. Mommy just stayed in bed cause she didn´t wanna get up yet. I did a poo poo, daddy wiped my bum bum and then I cuddled in to mommy in her bed and fell asleep again until twenty to 8. Much better mummy says! We had breakfast with nice eggs from Frau Mandry´s chickens and fresh bread (well, I myself only had my egg and the cheese off my bread) and then it took me about an hour to get dressed. Mommy went to go downstairs without me; that when I started getting active and moaning cause she wouldn´t help me get dressed. But in fairness she had tried many times but I was too busy playing and messing around.
The boy we had met yesterday was outside and so was a girl about Nele´s age. Her name is Michelle and she LOVES Judy and dogs in general. I petted some cats and then we went to see the pigs and give them some dry bread. I got to feed the rabbits with our left-over lettuce afterwards together wih Frau Mandry and then mommy and daddy and I went to visit the camerun sheep and goats and alpacas on their pasture. I made friends with one little goat and mommy was scratching a bigger one between the horns. The alpacas were a bit shy but we will go and see them again another day. I took a buggy with a dolly inside out of the playroom and rode a bike before I went to play in the sandbox. Then mommy, daddy, Judy and I headed off to go to the nearest restaurant “Liethenmühle”. Daddy carried me on his shoulders for most of the way. The last few minutes we went down a steep path to get to the bottom of the hill; it was dark and cool cause of the high trees and the road was very bumpy; mummy said this was the old road where the horses had to pull the grain down and the flour up the hill when the restaurant was still a mill. Down at the bottom we sat at the table and daddy ordered apple juice with water for me, which I spilled straight away. He ordered a second one with ice so I could play with the ice cubes and after a while I spilled this one as well. I don´t usually do that, but I was tired already even though it was just gone 12. Michelle and her grandma came down the hill soon after we had ordered and joined us at the table. Michelle sat beside Judy and was busy petting her most of the time. I ate LOADS of food. Potato soup with sausage, a slice of bread and one of daddy´s Kartoffelknödel. And then daddy and I shared an ice cream. I wanted to sit beside Michelle and even gave her a hug and she hugged me back! Michelle and her grandma left before us and I kept asking for her all afternoon. I couldn´t remember her name yet so sometimes I said “das Mädchen” and sometimes I called her Nele. She was not there when we got back to the yard and mommy and I went to have a nap which lasted from about 2 till quarter to 5. When we woke up we went shopping and mommy said I could get a yoghurt. I wanted to get one for Michelle and the other boy as well and she said I could. Back at the holiday home Michelle was there and I ran to give her a hug. Michelle wanted to take Judy out on the lead so we went along the road for a bit. Mommy stayed back and Michelle, Judy and I kept going. Then we turned back and I took Michelle´s hand.
At dinner I hurried up so I could eat my pudding for dessert. Mommy had gotten one as well so I said “After dinner Du krieg Dein puuddie, kay?!”
Mommy got me ready for bed and daddy brought me to bed which I was not too happy about but did not have a choice; mommy had gone out to play with the cats before bedtime.

Today mommy picked me up from Kita together with Vinci and Oma Tina!! I was delighted and we went to the garden and Vinci and I jumped around on the trampoline for a while and then went to play in the sand. We made chocolate ice creams for Oma Tina and mom. Then Vinci watered the flowers with Oma Tina and I did some drawing with chalk and then went back to playing with Vinci. At first he didn´t want to but I called and called him till he gave in. We played that he was tha fox and I was scared and we were running arund like mad yokes and I was screaming and got so excited that I peed in my pants for the first time in ages, Luckily mummy had another pair of pants and we found socks in the bag of clothes that Katharina the garden owner had left to give back to us (because her daughter wears the clothes that I´ve grown out of). Vinci also wet his pants but he didn´t pee in them, he just wsn´t quick enough to put the hose into the watering can before the water came out. He had to wear pyjama pants from Katharinas older daughter. Just before heading home I started to have a pain in my hip and told momm I couldn´t walk. So she carried me to the car and into the flat and my hip was still sore but got better then. Mommy is worried it could have something to do with when I fell off the slide but hopefully I will be fine again tomorrow. I was wrecked anyways and went to sleep about a half an hour earlier than usual. Tomorrow Oma Tini and Vinci will pick me up together with mom again and then we will come home and have cake with Uroma!

Mommy and I went to Kita and back on the big bike today. I was quiet on the way to Kita but chatting away loads on the way home. I told her that we had been given sweets at Kita and who I played with today. I also said that I pushed Mia but I tell her that nearly every day even though Mia and I are best friends…

At home we played with the Play-doh I got for Easter and when André called I told him what else the Easter bunny had brought: chocolate and a book. When we were getting ready for bed, our neighbor Frau Keil called down with anoher treat for Easter; a op and more chocolate! I wanted to keep the chocolate in my room nut daddy put it i  the siting room and said I could have it tomorrow.

I swapped my bedtime story for a bit more play-doh time but mommy sais we won´t do that again because I was all wired going to bed. When mommy turned off the light in the hall half an hour later I was still awake and came out of bed to tell her to leave the light on.

Last week mommy bought a new game at the flea maket; its called the monkey game and I love it. I have played it with mommy, daddy, Uwe, Omi Evi, Opa Günter, Oma Tina and Opa Günther. But since I got PLay-doh for Easter three days ago I have forgotten its existence.

von Oma Tina:

Huch, das war alles ganz schön ungewohnt. Erst erzählten wir, dass sie Mama und Papa heute von der Kita abholen, dann wollte sie lieber zu Hause bleiben. Aber das legt sich ja bei ihr immer schnell wieder. Nun brauchte es doch nur das kleine Schwein zu sein und alles lief glatt. Sie hat sich auch ordentlich verabschiedet. Ich kenne ja das Abgaberitual nicht und mache vielleicht was falsch aber Feya war souverän.

„Nein Mama, da sitzt Lotte!“

12.04.

von Oma Tina:

Zurück hatte ich kaum noch Zeit bevor ich zur Kita musste. Feya freute sich, besonders weil auch der Buggy da war. Opa war auch mit (ich war mit dem Rad angereist, er mit dem Bus, dort tauschten wir). Kurz bevor wir zu Hause ankamen begann es dann auch wieder heftiger zu regnen.

Davor hatte sich das Wetter anständig benommen. Günther fuhr dann zu Oma
und Judy. Die Kita-Tante hatte mir noch auf den Weg mitgegeben, dass
morgen Spielzeugtag ist, also jeder ein Spielzeug mitbringen kann. Feya
möchte das große Schwein mitnehmen und da haben wir ja Glück, dass sich
das so einfach erledigt. Wir spielten mit Bausteinen, mit der Matte und
dem Hampelmann. Dann folgte das Krokodilspiel mit wechselnden Rollen.
„Jetzt bist du das Krokodil, okay? Dann half sie mir beim Einschalten
der Waschmaschine und fragte, sind das meine Sachen oder deine (das
fragt sie ja oft). Als ich sagte meine und Opas, da lächelte sie
verschmitzt: Hast du eingekullert, hmm? Na, ich zeigte ihr, dass es auch
andere Gründe zum Waschen gibt. Sie freute sich dann sehr, dass Papa mit
Judy ankam und wir streichelten sie beide. Zum Abendbrot (pünktlich um
6!) gab es Butterstulle, Ei und Tomatenstückchen. Als Tee hatte sie
Hagebuttentee ausgewählt. Mit dem Wort „Fertig“ hüpfte sie vom Stuhl,
aber vom Baden oder Waschen wollte sie erstmal nichts wissen, sondern
lieber malen. Dabei geriet sie an die Buntstifte, die ich nun doch nicht
zu Ostern ins Körbchen packe, weil sie ja nicht reinpassen. Wir malten
ein bisschen. Aber bei nochmaliger Bade- oder Waschaufforderung fing sie
an zu maulen und wälzte sich Mama-rufend auf dem Boden. Ich wunderte
mich selbst über unser pädagogisches Geschick, denn schnell hatte sie
sich beruhigt und freute sich nun, mit den Tieren, mit denen Vincent
immer in die Wanne geht, zu baden. Zähne putzen, eincremen, alles
wunderbar. Sie ging ins Bett, legte sich hin und erschrak dann: Wir
haben vorlesen vergessen. Hierzu nahmen wir ein kleines Buch mit
Schlafliedern und dann waren nur noch die Nasentropfen dran. Das
Anti-Hustenzeug hatte sie sich bereits auf den Schlafanzug geschüttet.
Jetzt wollte ich anfangen, Euch zu schreiben, da hörte Opa sie jammern.
Als sie sich nach einer Weile nicht beruhigt hatte, legte ich sie mir
auf den Bauch und deckte uns zu und nachdem sie sich ein paarmal hin und
her gedreht hatte, konnte ich sie wieder in ihr Bett legen und nun ist
Ruhe, sie konnte die Augen einfach nicht mehr offen halten. Judy hatte
sich in Phase 1 so ruhig auf das verbotene Fell gelegt, dass ich sie
erstmal aus Versehen mit drin gelassen hatte.

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.
