Unfortunately, I can no longer take part in the Blogathon this year 
It’s my Mother in Law’s birthday that weekend, so I obviously wont be around. It’s her 60th birthday, so I’ll be busy getting her drunk, heheh. Despite me telling everyone the date that I would be doing the Blogathon, it never clicked in with anyone to tell me about it clashing with the date of the party. I didn’t have any sponsors yet, so I don’t feel as guilty for letting people down, but I’m still a bit disappointed. Hopefully next year!
It was Lydia’s birthday yesterday. She’s 2yrs old now 
It’s gone so quickly! She had a brilliant day and got totally spoiled. She got a multi-purpose table from her Grand-parents. It’s got a normal flat surface on one side, then if you turn it over, it’s got a place to pour sand into and another to pour water in, plus bucket, spade and moulds. Lots of messy fun in the garden! She’s also got a big truck thing that’s almost as big as her! From her Auntie Lala (my sister, Laura) she got a tricycle with a tippy-uppy-thing at the back where she can carry her sticks and dump them in various places, and a pole at the back for us to push her along. She hasn’t quite got the hang of steering the tricycle yet though. Instead she tries to ride it like a rocking horse and tends to vigorously rock it 
She also had tons of clothes, nibbley treats and some money.
One of my friends came round to bring Lydia a present and brought her baby boy with her. He’s only a few months old, so I was wondering if Lydia would pay attention to him. I’ll admit that I was a bit worried as this was the first time that Lydia had been so close to a baby and I didn’t know how if she would start poking his juicy eyes or something! She was so sweet and gentle with him though. He was in his baby seat on the floor and she just stooped next to him and watched him, occasionally looking back at me to make sure it was alright. I said “where’s his toes?” and she gently stroked his toes. He started crying a bit and Lydia kept looking at me as if to ask what was wrong, then she started stroking his leg like she was trying to make him feel better. I was almost in tears because she was just so nice to him. I never once had to say “no, don’t do that” or “be nice”. She was just lovely from the start *beams with motherly pride* 
I made 2 new WordPress templates for sale at my webdesign site, Icklebug Designs. BEHOLD!
Aww, your little girl sounds so sweet! Happy birthday to her! You’ll have to give her a big hug for me.
I’m sorry the Blogathon thing didn’t work out. I think it’s a fabulous idea, but for some reason I don’t feel compelled to participate. I hope you have fun at the party with your MIL!
Oh gawd! I’m in love with your flash bunnies!!! I have no idea what Blogathon is but it sounds kinda interesting. Enjoy the birthday (if you haven’t already)
Awwww. Poo. I am sorry you wont be able to Blog on saturday, but thanks again SO MUCH for the sponsorship! Have fun with your MIL!
Aw, happy belated to Lydia! Give her a smooch from me.
