Making marmalade

Daddy taught us three to make marmalade the other day. We juiced lots of oranges for him and cooked it with skin and all sorts of stuff till it was ready to put in jars. We then put some on toast. It was yucky and bitter - why would you want to make jam that wasn't sweet? All the adults seem to like it though - I think adults are weird.

Me with some of the Barbapapas

Mum took this photo of me yesterday. How does she do that? They're all coloured in but I'm all grey. I asked her, but she says it is magic!

Peeing

Mummy and daddy are up to something. They have bought me something they call big girl pants and taken my nappies off me. The first time I peeed, it ran right through the pants so the next time I needed a pee I had to go to the bother of getting the potty out of the bathroom, taking it through to the bedroom so I could sit in front of the big mirror, for something to do and peeing in that instead. It seems to be what they were after though because as soon as I did that everyone was jumping up and down telling me how clever I was.

Jammy crêpes

I was very pleased with my breakfast on Sunday morning - I managed to spread my own jam on the crêpes daddy made me because I am such a big girl now.

I like making tea and eggs for the Barbapapas when they come to breakfast.

For my birthday breakfast I had some lovely cake and I even had the birthday train and a pretty flower!
