ACHIEVEMENTS

Hi All, as it's been a while since my last post (no, not the Birthday one!) I thought I'd better place modesty to one side and tell you about some of my more notable achievements...

Counting to 20 (well nearly, the teens are still tricky)
I know the alphabet
A member of Owls (the classroom where big boys go)
Dry at Night (with a little help from the Magic Handbag Fairy)
Hopping (two hops in a row at the last count)
The best juicer this side of Bacton (Jason Vale would be proud, I can do everything apart from move the chair between the juicer and the blender!). Particular favourite is The Ultimate Smoothy.
Sports - where do I begin? I can run, jump, hop, forward-roll and do strange poses on all fours. I can also play cricket, golf, football and fly kites!!
Jigsaws are getting easier.
Hide and Seek (though I have a habit of announcing my wherabouts as soon as you walk in the room. Plus my hiding places leave a lot to be desired)
I Spy (succesfully did five clues the other night)

Well, there you go. Nothing too funny to report today, but I know you like to know what I'm up to. Love to you all, Herbert xxx

Hello Herbert Fans, it's been 3 months since I last wrote to you, but it was inevitable that a great event like my birthday would not go unmentioned. Also, Auntie Mary said she'd hit Daddy and make his eyes water if I didn't. Since his creative juices are still flowing, let the BLOG commence...

I was very lucky to have two birthdays; a true one on August 12 and an official one a few days later when I had my big party. Some say that this was to coincide with Soft Bear's birthday, but I cannot confrim or deny it. However, it is true that Soft Bear has been a big part of my life since I was tiny. His familiar squealy noise is often to be heard around the house, and his adventures are legendary - notably the times he got left in the BMI hospital toilet and at the Haughley Scarecrow Festival. May I use this moment to thank him for always being slightly stinky and matted.

One of the highlights of my birthday was making the cake (above) with Mummy. I helped by mixing it in a bowl and adding some lovely pink colouring to the sponge mixture. I'd had my heart set on a racing track cake so it was a dream come true!!

And finally a big "Thank You" to everyone that came to my party and gave me presents!
