Ramette or Lamby?


The Derby County mascot is called Rammy - so is a little Derby County fan called a Ramette or a lamby?  Anyway, it doesn't really matter, all I know is Grandpa was really happy to see what Mummy had dressed me in the other day - a Derby County tracksuit.  The only problem was, when we were out for the day everyone kept thinking I was a boy!  Mummy and Daddy couldn't even be bothered to correct people in the end! Do people not recognise a highly trained athelete when they see one?  I'm great at the front crawl and in football I'm a great dribbler.  Derby County are not doing too well at the moment - perhaps I might even get a game if Mr Clough sees this and lets a girl play.  Daddy has high hopes that one of his children will be a successful sportsperson.  (I think he did hope it would be Noah, but thinks that he may be more into the arts - like dance - than sport, although Noah did say he wanted to be a goalie at the ice hockey!)  Daddy says he doesn't mind if I play for Scotland - but he also says, "Let's be honest, if she's good enough she'll play for England - if not, she'll play for Scotland!"  He only does it to wind people up.  I've even been in practice for the after sport bath!  Lesson one - do not eat the bubbles!  Lesson two - watch out for the T-rex.  Lesson three - the brown fish are not fish!

Daddy lost his lolly - sucker!


After a quiet snowed-in week with everyone at home (my Daddy has been on holiday from his work) we needed a busy day today and we got one.  I was wrapped up snuggly warm which is needed in this weather.  My advice to beat the cold is that you wear lots of layers and never leave home without a Buff and if you can get your Mummy to carry you then you'll feel the benefit of her body heat.  Mummy, Daddy, Noah and me went in the car down a very bumpy icey motorway to the big town.
 

I was very surprised when we got to our usual coffee shop because Gran and Grandpa were there.  They were on holiday and had come on a bus to see us.  After a little time walking around the shops and the Christmas Market we went to a sweetie shop and Mummy brought everyone some sweeties!  Daddy had a lovely cherry lollipop and he made the mistake of giving me a taste.  Let's just say that was the last time Daddy saw that lollipop!  I gripped it so tightly and licked and sucked with all my might!  It was a good job that it wasn't as cold as yesterday or I may have got stuck to it.
 

After doing the shops and walking Gran and Grandpa back to their bus, Mummy, Daddy and Noah and me went on a train that was underground.  We went to Kelvingrove Art Galleries and Grandpa and Gran we there too!  We had more of a nice time with them before we all had to go home.
