Under Age Nana: New Year's Eve

Maybe I need to rename this blog - a boy and his nana's dog or maybe Nana's dog and his boy?

Once again Nana out slept Nixon with sneaky old ('old' being the operative word here - hehe) Grandad creeping in to pick the happy wee chappy up before Nana could wake. 7.30 is when it all kicked off today. I woke to the pitter-patter (or thump, thump, thump) of tiny hands and feet crawling at high speed around the lounge. I think that annoyed grandad because Nixon didn't stay on his knee to get to the end of the story. Don't worry Mick I'll read it to you after Nixon goes home! (Spot actually gets found by his mother Mick so the ending is happy!).

I think she can see you on the bed Charlie

If you close your eyes nana won't see me on the bed

Boo!

We had a bit of a lazy day blobbing after a wee bit of gardening Nixon motored around the garden standing up at the fence in various places to say a cheery good morning to the hounds. There were a few spots of rain. It was the strong wind that chased us indoors in the end. I don't like that but Nixon just giggles and puts his face into it.

The wind calmed down but the rain came back. Not quite proper rain like at home but decent rain. Nixon didn't worry. He kept going out onto the porch to sit in it and giggle at it. In the end Grandad shut the door. I think he forgot this child is a Coaster and that wasn't real rain! Poms don't handle the rain well I don't think. It isn't because they are made of sugar, I think it is just one of those weird cultural things. Bit like the necessity to have Brussel sprouts for xmas lunch. Strange breed of people those English ones! Good thing I like my pet one.

Rain? This isn't rain!

Nixon had his nap about 9.30 and slept until 11 when I opened the door. He slept through grandad's trip to Darfield but woke just as he came in the door. Who was Nixon most excited to see? The person that sat with him and stayed home to take care of him or the person who went cruising off to the exciting metropolis of Darfield? You guessed it. His much loved grandad! Has Grandad changed a pooey nappy yet? NO!

The last bit of spag bol for lunch along with some of our sandwiches and Nixon was a happy boy for the rest of the day. He crawled around, played with the dogs, sat with us, danced to MTV, unpacked my purse and played on our bed. He loves our bed for some reason.

Waiting for Grandad.

Looking pretty flash in the new shirt that Uncle Jesse bought Nixon for Christmas.

Off for a wee nap at about 2.30ish so that he is ready for our night out at Craig and Nina's. We let Nixon sleep until about 4pm before we packed the car, got ready and hit the road to do our visiting. Nixon wore the flash new shirt Uncle Jesse got him for Christmas. He looked smart.

New gummies.

Pigging out on the chips. Mmmm good tucker!

Nixon was so good all evening at Nina and Craigs. We had such a lovely time. Nixon loved the pet rabbit and helped himself to the chips. Nina and Mick took Nixon for a ride on a horse then Nina gave Nixon a ride in the wheelbarrow with the horse covers. He had a very good time. He started to get a bit grizzly about 9pm so we packed up and came home. Into his buzzy bee pjs, bottle and bed. What a good wee man he is.
