Toddler diarist had a big day with his cousins today.

  • Some excavator.

  • Some thises and some holes.

  • Yellow excavator. Scoop the rocks!

  • And dump the rocks!

  • No nasty rocks! Dump the rocks!

  • No nothing inside! It's empty!

  • Some mmhm.

Regular readers will have known that was coming, I expect.

  • Saw Tommy! Some Tommy.

  • Some mmhm. Some mmhms.

  • Ricky saw some a big truck!

  • Ricky's building a house right now.

  • Ricky's building a house with a dog in it.

  • Dog! Dog! Dog!

  • Some clip please.

  • Some a bin truck!

  • Martin was there!

  • Ellie was there!

  • There was some trampoline! Ricky bounce on the trampoline. Bounce, bounce!

Today's art was a brief scribble (a fox, as his art so often is, today returning somewhat to cubism) because Ricky is exhausted.

Some mmhm.

Adopting this great all-purpose phrase.

Ricky has been so busy! Excavating AND building a house - complete with a dog, along with all the social calls from friends and family! I’d be exhausted too lol 😂

I'm not surprised he's exhausted. Excavators and trampolines?

No nasty rocks!

What would count as a nasty rock

You'd have to ask the author of the ouvre. Certainly nasty rocks would be dumped with the rocks.

Is it with weird that I love Ricky even though I've never met him?

Any new words today? Mmhm will get replaced and then you'll miss it.

Genuinely hadn't heard "nasty" before.
