My Very First Hair Cut!

Last week was kind of interesting.  I am still not sure what to think of it actually.  Daddy and Big-big Brother and I all went into town together.  We went into a place called Classic Cuts, where Daddy asked about something called a hair cut.  Then someone names Sam came down the stairs and we all went into a little room where daddy sat me on his lap, and Sam used scissors on my hair!  The next thing you know, the bits that were in my eyes were not anymore, and I could see just fine!  They made me something on the front called a fringe!  Daddy asked Sam some questions too, and found out that Sam has washed the hair of someone called Margaret Thatcher.  Sounds to me like the name of a milk snatcher!  Well, whoever she is!  Apparently the place daddy gets his hair cut is where this Thatcher lady gets hers done once a year when she comes up to Malvern.

 

As Sam cut my hair, I fussed a bit because I did not know what was going on, but of course, Sam told me that one day I would really come to like this.  It must have come true because by the time she was almost done, I was enjoying myself just fine, and holding still for my hair cut!

Now it’s Daddy’s turn!

Something Strange…

Yesterday I walked into town with my daddy and Big-big brother.  We did all kinds of thing, including the walk along the River Severn as we like to do, but when we were on our way out something strange happened.  We stopped at a grocery store that daddy says he had never been in before and as we were ready to leave we saw a baby just my size. 

I was so happy to see a baby my size!  But then the people with her asked a question.  "How old is she?"  Daddy said I was 8 months old, but he then asked how old their little girl was and they answered "19 months."

 

Daddy says that I am big for my age, and that he gets that kind of thing a lot.  But he also tells me that he doesn’t get it because I am still just a little baby to him.  So daddy thinks maybe it is just that British babies are smaller, and that the size might be my American genes.  I don’t see what it has to do with what type of trousers I wear.  Daddy also says it might be because of my special diet because I am allergic to milk.  He thinks it could be due to the vitamins in my Neocate.  Either way, daddy is awfully proud of me, and glad I am a healthy, big baby!

Yours, Kirynie and Daddy!

Life’s Little Songs

I love my daddy and my big brother.  They both like to sing to me.  Daddy is not very good, but he does try to put together words that rhyme and have some sort of meaning to them that relates to me!  That’s very nice!  Big Brother, on the other hand will hum some sort of humming sound that daddy says sounds like a whale giving birth.  Don’t tell daddy, but I like Big Brother’s songs better than I like Daddy’s songs.

My favourite songs to sing sound more like Jordan’s songs.  Do you think that has anything to do with it?  I am not sure, but neither one of them can hold a note, especially when compared to my favourite singer.  She is a lady on mum’s i-Tunes called Ella Fitzgerald.  When I grow up I want to sing like her.  I love to dance with mum to the songs of Ella. 

Music really is a big part of my life, and I love all types right now.  I really love to sing too.  I love making music of my own.!!  Daddy says that my music is the prettiest he has heard, ever. 

It is Friday Today

What does that mean?  Friday?  I know mum and dad sometimes fry things on the cooker, but then they eat them with my brothers, and so does that mean that today we fry food?  If so, then why is it not "Fried Food Day?"  Things to confuse me, I guess.

Daddy got so excited yesterday I think he just about peed.  He didn’t, which is a good ting ’cause none of my nappies would fit him, that’s for sure!  Anyway, there was a knock at the door and a man handed him four little parcels and said they were called Passports!  I don’t know what they are, but one of them has my picture in it.  And one has my mum, and another had Big-big Brother, and the other had Big Brother in it.  Daddy says not to worry because he already has one from America, but that I have to get one of those too.  Dad calls it my right to citizenship, and says I was born with it, though I don’t think I have ever seen it. 

Daddy says that this is a huge step towards us moving to America soon.  With these Passports in hand, mum and dad can now send those off to the Embassy in London, then we will have to go down there and visit, then we can be allowed to go live in America, if everything goes well on that visit. 

Yesterday we also went for a walk to a place called Diglis Basin, which is where the Worcester-Birmingham Canal comes to the River Severn.  There are lots of long narrow boats called canal boats there.  It is a very beautiful place, and daddy says that he loves all boats, and water.  That is so good ’cause I love water too.  Bath time is my favourite time of the month…  okay, week.  Anyway, here are a couple of pictures my daddy took down at Diglis.

Coming into Diglis from the Severn you can see some of the many new flats that have been built where old factories once stood when my dad first moved to England in 2002.

One of the Queen’s swans swims passed a river boat.  The Queen quite literally owns all of the swans in the UK, so you’d better treat them nice!

Daddy wants to know about this boat he calls a Tender.  He wants to know why on earth someone would need it on a canal boat?  You are never more that 15 feet from shore!

Can you spot the Peregrine Falcon on St. Andrew’s Spire?
