November +December 2008

So, here I am after another long absence... But time flies and my life is kept sooo busy with singing, playing with friends, nursery, going to the child minder and somewhere in between I have to try and fit all my favourite hobbies! It's been a good month for parties this month, first Sinterklaas and tomorrow F.C! (Father Christmas:) I have seen the last one 2x last week at the singing Christmas party and at the school party! And I saw one walk in the garden centre when Nana and UNcle Brian took mama and me there.
Sinterklaas I saw arrive on the internet and then he gave me a great book with pictures of his house and how all the zwarte pieten get things ready etc. (did you know they made speculaas at my nursery?? We did it with cooking one day and we lent them our book to show to all the other children who don't know him:) he gave me a BIG floor puzzle in (=under) my shoe when I stopped drinking mama's milk, because he thinks I'm a very big girl:) And then one day his England Piet called our house and told me that there were presents somewhere!!! I found them in daddy+mama's sitting room and there were lots and lots of presents in there-well cool:) I also got a chocolate 'F' which was a real joy!
I got Dora pyamas and adressing gown and books and and...!
Daddy got some nice superduper socks and sweets and mama got a book on trollbeads with a tulip and beads with which she has made a really nice necklace and bracelet and sweet and a calendar. We all must have been really good!
I can now recgonise and say the letters 'F for Freija,O,M for mama and S for snake' I also write shopping lists for mama to help her rememeber:)
I LOVE dressing up and I will attach some pictures of my creations. My fairy wings have to go with most of them like the Fairy Piet(for Ethan's birthday party), Fairy Witch and Winter Fairy, but not with my 'deftige dame' (posh lady). Hairclips are a must as well-even my dolls had to have them! Also like to get a picture in of mama whenever I can-hihi!
Freya has come to play a lot lately and that has been really nice. On Fridays after school I go to hers until mama picks me up! As you can see Mama does all sorts at her work-the other day she was a Red Indian for charities week!
Last week us children sang Christmas songs for our parents. We had reindeer antlers on and sang our best! Will try to include a little video of it for you! I'm really good at my songs and they come out easy:) I like 'Rudolph the red nosed reindeer' and 'little donkey' a lot. But the best one is 'Gloria in excelsis deo' which I remembered from last year in Oma's church! Nanna gave me a book with Christmas lullabies that has a CD with it, so mama and I have been singing along:) And she took us to some nice carol singing too:)
My favourite word at the moment is WHY?! WHY? WHY? I like to know everything, you see. And mama and everyone try to explain to me, but sometimes they seem to be tired all of a sudden-???! Anyway...
Beckie is still with us and that's fun to have another person to play with around! She cooked for us the other day-jacket potatoes and... cabbage! (my favourite veg at the moment!) We had snow a little while ago and mama and I made 2 little snowpeople in the back garden-it was fun until my feet got REALLY cold because I had chosen the wrong boots to put on;(
What else to say? I still love playing with my baby(doll) and doing puzzles and changing my clothes a few times a day. I'm not as keen on tidying up my toys etc. as much as I used to be, but can spread my own bread (!)
I have also put an order in to my parents for a baby sister-mama says she will see what she can do :) My friend Oliver will be getting twins as his brother/sister in June and all my other friends have brothers and sisters, so...
Now its only waiting until it is morning again and then it will be CHRISTMASSSS!!!! Have a lovely time everyone and I will catch up again in the New Year 2009! Thank you for being my fans:) Love, Freija XX
