Playdough

Hello again everyone,

I just wanted to show you a few more photos of me here in Bonn. Noni made me some playdough, so I've been exploring a whole new world of squishiness.

I don't like anything that gets too messy though. Then I say "messy messy" and make Mama clean everything up.

For those of you wanting more Noni, here is a shot of us all rugged up to go out in the cold.

My hair goes in pigtails now. Mama cried when she saw me with them, she says I am a big girl now.

Merry Christmas everyone!

I am just back from a wonderful holiday in Val Thorens in France in the snow. I went with Mama, Dada, Noni and Zio. We had so much fun and to top it all off people kept giving me presents and saying things about Christmas. It was great.

Now, I have to tell you I had my first holiday romance while I was away. We all went out to dinner on Christmas Eve and on the table next to us was a blonde boy in a high chair called Tom. I think he was Dutch. Anyway, he kept blowing me kisses and so I went over to give him a real one. When I got back to the table I told Noni, "kiss boy". He was very nice.

Father Christmas came to the dinner too. He scared the life out of me, coming up from behind, but once he was gone and had left me a little toy snow dog, I wanted him back. I kept looking for him and saying "again again".

This is me in the snow with Mama and Dada. They tried to build me a snowman, but it looked pretty funny to me. I didn't tell them that though.

By the end of the week I looked like a real cool snowboarder. I even had the moves, spreading my legs and rocking side to side and saying "Wheeee" and "Hold on"

Zio built me a snowman on our balcony. He had cheese balls for eyes and buttons, and cucumber pieces for arms. The birds liked him a lot.

There was an excellent playroom at our hotel, and Noni took me there every day. We had so much fun and I learned how to draw and rub out. There was a little backpack there that I loved wearing, I carried it everywhere.

I had lots of fun in the house too. Noni tried to teach me domestic chores but I just liked playing peek-a-boo.

Putting shoes out

Hi there,

Today is St Nicholas' day in Germany. All the children put their shoes out last night, and if they had been good, St Nick brought them presents. (If they were bad, they got sticks.)

I must have been good because there were some great presents for me when I woke up in the morning! Some new shoes, a sticker book and a big tent thing for my playroom.

There were even some surprises for Mama and Dada. They said something about what nice landlords we have, I'm not sure what they meant...

Happy to have Noni

Oh, that is the other big news I forgot to tell you! My Noni is here!
I can't believe it, she just turned up out of nowhere. It sure is nice to have her around to play with, I can tell you.

Kensington Gardens


Kensington Gardens

Hello everyone,

Well I am just back from a trip to London, and boy did I have fun.

First I went to see my zio Peter in his new place in Hinckley. He has a very nice flat, with a big tree outside with squirrels. Zio was lots of fun and I was very sad to say goodbye to him, but Mama says I will see him again very soon. I'm not sure I understand what that means yet though.

I went to the Kensington Gardens and saw big swans and more squirrels and spent ages playing in the playground there. It had teepees and real diggers for the sandpit and a musical jumping thing that Mama kept hogging. She did play Old McDonald on it though.

We saw our friend Mai and we went to Harrods together. We even bumped into Mr Al-Fayed there and Mai said hello and he said hello back! Wow.

Here are some of my favourite photos.

Love,
Yasmin xx

The London Natural History Museum is so cool.

I ran around and saw so many animals, lions and tigers and bears -oh my!- and giraffes and hippos and pandas and even an echidna.

I loved it so much we went back again the next day!

I went to see Chelsea play piano and sing at a fancy London hotel. She was very good. I made sure to clap and say 'yay' at the end of each song. She did need some help with some of the songs though, so I played a few notes for her every now and then.

This is my friend Beth who lives in London.

I went to visit her at her house and we had lots of fun. She was very nice and let me play with her toys and even took me to her toddler group to meet her friends.

Ooh la la

Hello everyone,

Well I think Mama has got my site working now, so I will tell you a little about my trip to Paris.

I had fun!

I made sure we saw all the sights. I will post some of my favourite shots.

We made a special trip to see the Eiffel Tower at night, which was very cool. I had the best view of all, rugged up next to Dada in my backpack.


Of course I couldn't go to Paris without checking out the shops.
I made sure I had a good look into the kids' shops especially.

Well, au revoir for now,
Yasmin xx
