the lemonade award for a great attitude!

Poppy from A Life Less Simple sent me a blog award! Mummy explained that it’s for people who show gratitude or have a wonderful attitude!

I’m supposed to nominate people from other blogs to share the award with, but I don’t know anyone with a blog, so I would like to share this award with poor people who do not live in this country. These people have lots of things to worry about but they care about each other more than things like we do.

I would also like to share this award with my friend John. He makes me laugh and spends lots of time with people giving them Reiki when he could be spending time thinking about himself instead.

My special tree seat where I can read or be inspired by nature

Today I made a special seat. I have a tree in my garden which is my favourite. It’s a magnolia tree. I climb up it most days and sit in the branches.

I took the measurements myself to make the seat and then Daddy got the right wood and rope and helped me put it up.

I went up there this afternoon to read some books. I really like that tree, she is my favourite and my children might like to sit in it one day when I’m older.

I’m looking forward to sitting on my special seat during the summer when the tree is covered in leaves because I think I shall be completely hidden and I’ll be able to hear the wind in the leaves. When I hear that and close my eyes I can pretend I am by the sea.

All aboard! getting everyone settled in our boat

Today I woke up with a poorly cough, but we have some garlic and sage syrup that Mummy gives me. I have to have a big glass of juice afterwards to take away the taste.

This morning I made a boat. I found out which way North, South, East and West point with a compass and set sail to the North East with my wooden oar. I looked after my baby to make sure she didn’t fall overboard and we arrived safely.

I read all of the Famous Five book that was in my party bag this afternoon and now I only have two left to read before I have read the entire set. My favourite one is Five on Kirrin Island; I have Mummy’s old book of this that she read when she was a girl.

I was given a dream journal too in my party bag, but I was annoyed to find that I forgot my dream this morning, so Mummy suggested I went to sleep earlier tonight to see if I can catch my dream before I wake up tomorrow. My tooth is STILL hanging in and hasn’t fallen out yet, but it’s not bothering me so much today.
