Happy Birthday Mummy! Just a note to say what a brilliant day I've had. I really enjoyed helping to open your presents, and although I thought it was my birthday for a bit, I remained calm and very willing. We then went to Thetford Forest and had a bike ride. I rode in a sort of Ninky Nonk carriage behind Daddy's bike. It was very bumpy. Unfortunately he got a bit tired and Mummy had to help. I am quite heavy now! After a lunch of pizza we went on the Nature Trail. I climbed, hid, creeped about and splashed in lots of puddles. The only nature we saw was a small dog, but I did go on a really long rope slide which made up for the lack of fauna (lots of flora on my sandwiches). Then we went to see Nana and Papa Wagga, finding our way easily now that Mummy has a sat nav machine to help her! To round off a great day Liz and Chris from next door came over and everyone talked loudly and laughed a lot while drinking a juice called 'wine' - even Daddy had some. I was left to my own devices for a bit but enjoyed some time to myself watching Night Garden under my new Brum duvet. Then I went to bed and wrecked my fairy lights.


Love, Herbie xxx


PS Sorry about the picture. Forgot camera today but this was taken at Thetford Forest a while back so it does count a bit [Dad]

Dear Herbert Fans one and all, Herbert's Daddy-Doo here! Herb is in bed so I thought I'd update things for a change. It has been a very exciting week for us, as our crazy little man has moved in to his new bedroom. It was all a big surprise (possibly too much of a surprise), and I caught the moment on camera when his little face gazed wonderingly at his brand new room. Naturally, his excitement peaked when various new cars and buses were spotted, which he proceeded to play with until way past bedtime. Since then Bertie has gradually gotten used to his new abode, choosing to sleep on his car rug for an afternoon nap today. Hopefully pictures will follow.

And in other news, Herbert made a birthday cake for a monkey all by himself and with no prompting. A mixed-media interpretation of a cake anyway, created using the classic combination of Play-Doh and Stickle Bricks. He even sang 'Happy Birthday' to the grateful chimp! Another moment of excitement came when a pheasant was spotted on the patio. Not quite up to the goat shenanigans of 2005, but still a great photo opportunity!

Bye for now, Adam/Daddy/Lurchio

PS A big Thank You to Waggaman for all his help turning Herbert's room from reality to dream!

Well a lot has happened since I last wrote. I have learnt how to use the potty and have started wearing big boy's pants. I can even pull them down myself. Daddy says I must remember to write down funny things I have done, but at the moment the only thing that springs to mind was falling down the stairs with my big fire engine! Oh dear, that hurt a bit but I was very brave.

I have been to visit Granny and Grandad where I enjoyed going to a real farm and seeing cows being milked. Now I just have to work out whereabouts in the garden our cow lives. Sabba came to visit too and we had fun in the Abbey Gardens. I found a cave and pretended to be Makka Pakka. There is a picture of this that I will add later!

As everyone must know by now, I love the Night Garden. Yesterday I didn't have a nap and, because I went swimming and met Victoria, I was so tired when I got home that I fell asleep on the sofa. I didn't have time to put on my halloween pumpkin costume. When the Night Garden came on though I woke up and had lots of snuggles. As an extra treat I went to bed with Mummy as she was feeling very tired and it was all cosy!

Love to you all, Herbert xxx
