At the Sheraton

Tired

I woke up this morning in nanny and granddads hotel room, and had to complain that I didn’t get my usual book before bed, they said something about me falling asleep during dinner, not sure what that means but I didn’t get a bedtime book so that’s not good no matter what excuse it is. Well after a massive big breakfast (there was a choice of everything you could think of for breakfast), I dragged nanny and granddad out to the pool (at 9am) where we spent all day, which I think I could do every day as it was great, but it was very hot today I heard them say on the radio say that it was into the 40’s today (I knew it was hot today, nanny even made me wear my t-shirt in the pool as my 50spf suntan lotion). I tired myself out so much in the pool and on the beach that I fell asleep on a sun lounger (4.30pm), we were supposed to be going to watch some drag racing tonight but the daddy carried me to the car and put me to bed.

Neo – “I want to go swimming again, but nobody is keeping me awake” Neo falls half asleep
Neo – “Where is that girl? Is she in the pool?” Then looks out of the corner of his eye to see his new friend playing back in the pool – He wakes up instantly
Neo – “I want to go ….” And runs off into the pool

Zoo with Pretties

"Daddy please can I have one?"

Look nanny its a snake

Today was good, after been lazy and letting mummy and daddy sleep in again, me and nanny baked loads of gingerbread men/rabbits/teddies and decorated them with icing. Then when mummy and daddy got up we all went to the zoo, I love the zoo and so does nanny and granddad, we fed loads of animals and I got to hold a snake again, they won’t let me hold the lion cubs any more as they are nearly as big as me now, each one of their paws are about the same size of my two feet put together. One thing that was really funny was one of the big tigers, who I think wanted to eat nanny for dinner as he kept jumping up to where she was standing, his paws was about the same size as her head. He did it to mummy as well, the tigers head was about 5 inches apart from mummies, with only a little wire fence separating them, they were staring at each other for ages before the tiger padded his paw and snorted at the same time which sprayed sand in mummies face (mummy says was great to be so close to a tiger, that she could feel his breathes on her face, I don’t understand what she means, she says weird things sometimes). Later on we all went to ‘The Noodle House’ for our dinner which was really yummy and the waiters were funny especially the one I tickled every time he came near our table, I kept being told ‘do not do it when he has plates in his hands’ but what’s the fun in that so I just ignored them all and carried on.
Nanny – “Say night to mummy and daddy and give them a cuddle”
Daddy kissed me
Neo – “A kiss is not a cuddle”

More gingerbread

Today we all got up as usual but as its Tuesday its pony club, but it wasn’t a normal pony club as mummy and granddad came with me and daddy, which is good as mummy has never been (she’s normally at work) and when I went with nanny and granddad at Christmas it was the long pony trek not my usual pony club, I got to ride Pepper (as usual) and Reis was there YEAH!!, but lot of my friends were away as it holiday time BOO!!. I had a good time anyway, I think mummy and granddad did too, even thou mummy doesn’t really like horses.

Neo (at 8am) – “Nanny, lets bake some gingerbread men”
Nanny – “Neo it’s too early and we still have loads from yesterday’s baking session”
Neo – “Ohhhh, lets bake some cupcakes then”

No net again ...

Mummy and daddy say a massive sorry as there have been no blogs for a couple of days, this is due to 'Etisialat' the company which provides the nets in Abu Dhabi, apparently they have have to re-thread the net or something like that (something about a new cord or cable to our house). So mummy and daddy have popped out to a cafe, to post this as even mummies schools net thing has broken.
Speak and blog in full soon x

Self driving cars

Today I took nanny and granddad to Masdar city, it’s a very smart place as they make their own electricity and recycle EVERYTHING and the building have clever walls which are made of plastic and expand when they get hot so the building keeps cool, but the best thing ever is their cars they drive themselves (all you have to do is press the green ‘go’ button) they even stop and overtake each other and before you say their on a track they are not.

Neo – “I can drive these cars so I can drive your car mummy, you can sleep in the back and I’ll drive us home”

Top of the podium

Today we went to the park and shops and later on me, daddy and granddad went to the F1 race track where a man told us all about it and toured us around all the bits you don’t normally get to see, like the racing school (where people learn to be racing drivers), they had lots of different cars and we even got to sit in one which was good even though I’m a bit small so I couldn’t see out. Then we went to race control where there is loads of TV’s showing all the different parts of the track and where they can see if anyone is cheating or been naughty during the races. I had a play on their computers and TV’s, I think I could do this as a job, then we got to go on the podium and held a trophy, something I’ll be doing a lot of when I’m a racing driver. After all of that we went over to the fancy hotel (which is in the middle of the race track) to meet nanny and mummy who had been looking at some paintings, in their gallery.

Neo – “Granddad’s winding me up”

Painting Oranges

New Crocs

 I woke up early and the oldies are still here so they haven’t runoff in the night which is good. Daddy took mummy off to do something called PADI, I stayed here with nanny and granddad and when daddy got back we went to the beach, where me and granddad played at the park bits and in the sand while daddy drank coffee and read his book which was good as he’s due a break from my silly games and me winding him up. After a while he went off to get mummy from some boat, so I dragged granddad off to the bigger park bit to play. When mummy and daddy came back we went to get some dinner, but I didn’t want to eat so I decided to sleep on the sofa (as I’ve not done much of that for a few days). When I woke up we went to get me some new crocs as my big feet (size 12) don’t fit my old ones anymore, so now I have new green ones with a buzz on the right one and stitch on the left, they feel a bit funny but I like them there big and bright green. Then I took granddad on the log flume and nanny on the yellow submarine at sparkys (the indoor play area at the mall) I’m not sure they liked it but I think it’s fun to do things like that to them sometimes.

Neo – “My favourite colour is green, my new crocs are green and so is buzz”

Pretty's arrive

Thursday 24^th March night (or as Uncle Stephen has rightly commented Thursday 22nd March) – I’m very disappointed as I tried to stay up for 'Pretty' nanny and granddad, but I fell asleep on mummy just as they landed but there was a massive hold up at immigration, but when I woke up this morning they were sleeping in my room, hehehehehe. It’s a shame mummy had to go to work in the morning but after today, she doesn’t have to go to school for two weeks - so we can have lots of time and fun. Daddy took me, nanny and granddad to the fruit and veg souq (market), which is good because I always get given loads of free fresh fruit because everyone loves me down there, we went to the section with the dates - which I don’t like but nanny and daddy do, so they bought some of them as well. After the souq we went to one of my favourite parks (it’s called the family park near the Corniche), we spent ages there playing at all the different play areas, granddad hurt himself twice which was funny and granddad hurts himself a lot (which I think is funny), and somehow nanny got all sunburnt on her arms, it’s wasn’t even hot today, not sure what it’s like in England as nanny says it’s a lot sunnier and hotter here. When we went home mummy had finished work and daddy had to take her to the doctor again, but this could be the last time as her back is almost fixed.

nanny nanny nanny ....

I'm a little eeeeeexxxxxxccccciiiittttteeeeddddd, didn't want to go to bed last night and woke up early just to make sure I dont miss pretty nanny and granddad, I  didn't even have a day sleep after swimming andIi always do that, but I wasn't sure daddy was taking me home and I had to make sure I didn't miss the airport trip (with mummy later), daddy's been trying to do all the cleaning that mummy told him to and I've just been running around all day trying to get them here sooner, daddy says 'its like I'm on something' not sure what that means but as I have told you all before  daddy does say some strange things.
When mummy came home she took me out to a mall so that daddy could get on and clean, and on the way out mummy couldn't find the way out of the car park -
Mummy - "arghhh how do I get out of here"
Neo - "The way you came in"

But my big quotes today are -
"I've been good, can I go to the airport"
"Is it night time yet, can we go to the airport"
"Is it time to go to the airport yet?"
"Is nanny's plane here?"
"When does nanny's plane get her?"

Cat in Hat (with Video) ...

Tuesday so it's pony club, pony club was a bit quiet today as some of my friends were missing this included Noah and liam, I'm not sure where they were. There was lots of dust and sand blowing around in the air today, not that it stopped me and my little gang been as loud and cheeky as normal. Also today I me and pepper went over some small jumps and when the big boss lady wasn't looking, the man who takes me around on pepper let me do some trotting, I think he is as cheeky as me because he kept checking and only did naughty stuff when we wouldn't get caught, hehe, this made me laugh and I had my best cheesy smile everytime we went fast, or jamping over the wood. After pony club daddy had to go and pay someone some money so he can stay as an Abu Dhabi Mum, he doesn't look like a mummy I think thats why he has to pay money so no-one says anything. When we were leaving Reis and his mummy were coming into the building, so me and Reis played with daddy whilst his mummy went to talk to and pay someone as well. After they went I decided that me and daddy should go bowling, as we were very close to the bowling alley - Daddy thought he would beat me but he didn't. Thats about it for today, but tomorrow my nanny and granddad are coming YEAH!!!!

Oh yeah I almost forgot to say, I have post! Which is big news out here as there are not any postmen or even letterboxes, but some how Aunty Chelle and Chris have sent me a box set of Cat in a Hat books, I love them and I can even read some of 'one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish'
Thank you - I love you and miss you both x

Whilst hearing a lot of water running in the bathroom
Daddy - ''What are you doing Neo?''
Neo - '' I'm trying to wash Buzz's big balls'' (this is a second copy of the sticky buzz, who walks down windows)
  

Fire station ...

Look BRIGHT yellow fire engines

Today was another nursery day, but today was a nursery day with a difference, dum dum dummm.... because after only a little while been at nursery daddy came back and all my class went outside, and we were all loaded into 4 different cars and then we (my class) went on a trip to the fire station - daddy took me, and two of my friends in our car. We all had a good time there and firemen showed us all the things they use to help people, I got to help put the hose pipe together. They had a chainsaw like daddy used to use and the fireman looked very surprised when I told him what it was and that it cuts down trees. After they showed us all the trucks and stuff they made a big fire and showed us how they put it out, after the fire we all got a drink and had some photos taken in front of the big YELLOW fire engine (fire engines are yellow here, BRIGHT yellow, not like in England where they are red), and when we were looking at the camera one of the firemen made us all jump by putting the siren on. At the end of the tour, we all got a gift bag with a big art set in it, I think mummy will like this as its got loads of different things in it for us to do art stuff with.

Neo - "Did you know that fairies are not real they are in books"

Mummies day

As today is mothers day, I decided to lay in and let mummy go to work without bothering her - I think she would have preferred it if I had my lay in yesterday but it wasn't mothers day yesterday. Well it was a nursery day today and I had such a good time, I didn't want to come home with daddy. It is much more fun at nursery, although I did have some fun winding up mummy and daddy at dinner time - I think I should get a star for this as I'm getting really good at this now, but they don't seem to appreciate all the effort it takes. Well that's about it for today.

On the home from nursery -
Neo - ''Why is it mummies day today, it is not her birthday?''
Daddy - ''It is a special day for you to thank mummy for all the things she does for you''
Neo - ''Thats good, but you do everything. All the other mummies do, so it should be mummies and my daddy's day''

Taste of Dubai

Today I decided I don't like mummy and daddy, as they have a new rule where I'm not allowed in their bedroom before an alarm in my room - I just ignored them and kept going in anyway until daddy gave up and came out to play and after a while after I had breakfast mummy got up and we took her the back doctor again, he's still not finished fixing mummy yet. After we were done there we went to get silly Shain and then her friend Surf, who is now one of my best friends, but on the way to get him silly Shain had a quote even better than mine - mummy asked where should we stop the car for Surf and Shain said ''By that parked car'' but we were driving through the middle of a car park. So after we found the right car to stop next to Surf got in and we went on a long drive to a place called Dubai, when we got there we went to a weird park, which had lots of tents with people selling and giving away loads of really good food and free stuff. I liked the ‘Happy Cow Cheese’ and ‘Haagen-Dazs’ ice cream best, and Shain liked someone called Gary, not the cockerel Gary who lived 2 doors away from our old house, but this Gary does cooking. Later on Robert and Lynne from upstairs came to the park, Lynne went to sleep near the ducks (Yeah proper ducks, mummy was so happy see saw ducks and even feed them some left over pizza), I thought Lynne needed waking up so decided to tickle her rather than jump on her, as she looked like if I jumped on her she might have got angry at me so I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea, even though I think it’s the best way to wake people up. Just as it was time to go home there were some girls dancing in grass skirts, like Lilo does in the film with Stitch, I liked them and danced with them for a while, not that they were as good as me. To finish off the day we walked back to the car past the lake, there was loads of little midges flying around and even better there were loads of bats.

Neo – “Shain, I think you should marry Surf”

Fun with friends

This morning I woke up really early as per normal (especially for the weekend), me and daddy went out to the garden (and left mummy in bed as finally she was sleeping, mummy has not slept since she's had backache), after we had some lunch all three of us went to the beach - we were there for about 10 minutes before my friend Reis and his parents arrived, so we all had loads of fun digging holes, chasing each other, and generally causing chaos with everyone on the beach, me and Reis were even playing with some of the Emirati kids and later on their parents sent over a tray of food for us, which was good but I preferred Reis's lollies, so left the rolls and trifle's to the grown ups. We had a great time and will put some photos on here soon as i keep forgetting.

Today's quote-

Neo - "Why don't fat people die when they keep eating like footballs do if you keep blowing them up?"

Cuddle

I didn't feel like doing much today, so got up hassled mummy and daddy till mummy went to school, then spent the day with daddy not really doing anything. I think daddy was keen to do something but I kept telling him to stay here and just play indoors. So was a good day for me, think daddy was a bit bored though, so he took me to mummy and went to play football, I had fun with mummy and helped her to put up a load of artwork for an exhibition type thingy - passed her loads of nails and paintings. After we had finished mummy said that we were all going out for some dinner, so we sat outside next to a swimming pool and had some yummy food.

Neo - "Mummy will a cuddle make your back better, I can give you a massive squeezy cuddle"
Mummy - "Ahhhh that would be nice"
Neo - "Turn around mummy"
Mummy - "Why?"
Neo - "Then I can give your back a kiss, that will make you better" (Kiss)
Neo - "Is it better now?"

Old Grandad Len's Birthday

Old Grandad and Nanny

Warm again ...

Wednesday today! Normally me and daddy go swimming on Wednesday but today we went to my nursery -it's photo's day, so after a long morning messing about at home we went to nursery, I had some photos taken and I think I was looking good lets hope the photographer is as good at photography as last time I had my photos taken at nursery mummy said they were rubbish and refused to buy them, it was not because of me but the photographer was not very good. After that was all done we went down to the beach where we met Amelia and Nicky, we played there for ages building sandcastles, running in the sea, and going on everything in the playground, daddy had my lunch in the bag so we also had a little picnic on the beach which I love, me and daddy did was always at the beach when we first moved to Abu Dhabi, and I think now its warming up we should do more again, maybe even invite some of my other friends. When we got home we had to go straight out again so that mummy could see the doctor again so it felt like I was in the car for ages, but he helped her to be able to move her back again so it's worth it, because it means she can give me proper cuddles.

On the way to the beach -

Neo - "I want to go there"
Daddy - "Where do you want to go?"
Neo - "You know, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty"

IKEA record!

Its Tuesday so pony club, couldn't wait to see all my friends again - its always fun. Me and daddy had to take a load of stuff to mummies school first - as daddy was silly and forgot to do it yesterday, which means we get to drive over the pavement (daddy and mummy moan that its a long drive all the way around but takes 2 seconds if we take a short cut) which is funny as the car goes all wibbly wobbly and shakes me around and which makes me laugh a lot. We finally got to the stables a bit early today which was good because that meant Pepper was waiting for me (like normal) so I got to go on straight away no waiting around, I think everyone else was late today and Reis didn't make it which was a shame as me and him like to run around a lot till one of us gets in trouble, hehe. Noah and Liam's granddad was there and he was very funny especially when he did a magic trick where he blows his hat off his head. After we finished at pony club, we went to a shop called Ikea (lots of you will know this shop) me and daddy don't really like it, only there food makes up for it, I love the meatballs although they are not the same as in England. Me and daddy did the quickest ever shop there we were in and out in under 10 minutes, I think this is a world record (for Ikea) and all daddies should try to get all of the mummies out of Ikea in the same time, daddy thinks this would make the world a better place. Later on we went to Thomas's flat as it is his birthday today, so we spent the rest of the evening there at his party (I like parties) until it was time for my bath.

Quote on the way home from IKEA -

Neo - "My eyes are trying to shut"
Daddy - "Hold them open"
Neo - "Their shutting my eyes"
Daddy - "Who are shutting your eyes"
Neo - "The spiders are"
Daddy - "The spiders?"
Neo - Yeah they are making my eyes shut"

'But why?'

Another Monday another nursery day, so not too much to say - but when me and daddy got home mummy was there which is strange as she is meant to be at school, I was thinking something is going on with mummy and daddy, or her back is really bad. Mummy said that she needed to go to see another doctor which was really boring, but to make up for it I did get a nice big cinnabon cake to eat yummy. When she came back out of the doctors she said her back felt a lot better, which I think is good as she'll be able to give me proper cuddles again soon. Once we got back home I was able to play outside with Abdullah and some of the other boys who live here.

Today's quote happened during a 20 minute car journey, I was continuously playing the 'but why game', with plenty of 'but whys', 'no, it's not', and 'talk about it more'.
Daddy- 'Is any of my answers going to be acceptable?'
Neo - 'NO!'

I almost forgot mummy said that some of you reading this are in a very cold country called Russia, and that you read about my adventures on a regular bases, so I would like to say 'marhaba' (which is hi in Arabic) to those of you who follow me on here, but don't actually know me and please feel free to comment or ask any questions and I will answer, that's if I can but if not I will ask my mummy to.

I can't talk anymore

Back to nursery today not much to say as I won't tell mummy and daddy what I get up to so I'm not going to tell all of you, so there. The real good thing that happened today was that mummy came with daddy to pick me up, I'm not sure it's so good for mummy thou as it means she had to leave work early because her back is still bad, which means I have to be extra careful not to hurt her, and I'm not very good that.

Today's quote-

After a coughing fit, I went all quiet - daddy asked if I was OK.
I replied-
Neo - "When I was poorly my voice went all bad and now I cant talk properly any more"

'Space Cadet'

Today, I woke up and went to see how mummy was, I was trying to be caring but daddy kept shouting at me - I didn’t mean to kick her, or stand on her, or sit on her, or pull her. Daddy says that Mummy has been a ‘space cadet’ today, because she has been taking so many tablets, but I don’t think they have been working as all days she has been saying about how much pain she's in. Anyway today we have a chilled out day, but I got to speak to Aunty Chelle and Chris today – which was great as I miss them, after we said goodbye I talked about them continuously for about an hour solid.

Quote –

Mummy – “Nanny’s and Granddad’s are coming over soon.”

Neo – “Have they got loads of money?”

Mummy – “What?”

Neo – “ Coz if they have I can say - can I have a little skateboard pleassssseeeeeeeeee”

Nice Neo

I think I was very nice to mummy and daddy this morning, after waking up I checked on them they said it’s still night time so I left them and played in my room till it was really day time, then got daddy to get up and make my breakfast. Mummy got up a bit later but was all funny and didn’t look quite right – she looked like a robot as she wasn’t moving her neck or her arm), then daddy was trying to get me dressed quickly and saying something about the hospital, but I’ve not had any accidents. I didn’t understand what he was on about but then that’s not unusual as he does come out with a load of rubbish, so off we went to the hospital, mummy went and saw the doctor (not me that makes a change), the doctor said she’s had to go and have some injections, loads of drugs and to rest up for a week, I went with her but her injection was nothing like one I’ve had before – she had a tube in her hand it was attached to a bottle of water. When we got home mummy laid down for a bit and then we took her to Shain’s house - then me and daddy went to my friend Reis’s birthday party on the beach, that’s one of the reasons why Abu Dhabi is so good – it is Friday nanny’s birthday in England today and she says it’s cold but here we have a party on the beach (in March). Reis’s party was really good and we played games like pass the parcel, building sand castles and a piñata. He had a Micky Mouse cake, the whole thing was good fun and I’ve decided I’m having my next birthday on the beach.

Quote-

On way back from Reis’s party
Neo – “ Reis have two spare beds?”

Daddy – “I don’t know why?

Neo –“We could stay at his, if not I can, and you can find somewhere else to sleep”

Kayaking

Happy Birthday Friday Nanny

Buried ...

So today I've had fun playing on the beach, daddy buried me loads of times I kept telling him that sun tan lotion works better as then I can move more but he wouldn't listen.

Random quote -
Mummy - "Would you like to go and see some dolphins?"
Neo - "Do dolphins swim like this (hand motion diving up and down)"
Mummy - "And their might even be have seals"
Neo - "What do seals do?"
Mummy - "They balance balls on their noses"
Neo - "Do they play with them in the water too?"
Mummy -"They might"
Neo - "Do they play with skateboards under the water?"
Mummy - "No they don't"
Neo - "Can they balance skateboards on their noses?"
Mummy - "No they can't do that."
Neo - "Is there any animal who can?"
Mummy - "I don't know."
Neo - "I do an Elephant can, they have really long trunks"

Proud daddy ...

I woke up nice and early this morning to make sure mummy was here as I didn’t see her after she went to work yesterday morning, not sure where she’s been but I just wanted to make sure she had come home. Wednesday means its swimming, today was a good as I got to have a play fight with the lifeguard when we got to the pool, I won of course as I’m much stronger than him and I whine more when I’m not getting my own way. As for my swimming daddy decided I needed to have a test so he got me to stand on the starting block jump in and see how far I could swim daddy and the lifeguard said I did about 18 meters, which made him happy and I’m quite pleased with that too. When we were going we said goodbye to everyone but I didn’t say anything to the lifeguard I beat earlier as I enjoyed winding him up. After that daddy got his hair cut, we went home and we made a banana cake which is really nice and I ate loads of it.

Todays quote and piece of advice -

Neo – “You can’t have a fire in an igloo, it will melt. It’s made of ice.

Up, up and away ...

I think mummy might have got up a bit late this morning as she was running around a lot when I woke up, she’s a bit funny like that sometimes. Anyway as it’s a Tuesday it is pony club I don’t know what was going on but daddy was all weird too, we were up at normal time and I ate my breakfast without a daddy moaning at me but we were still late for pony club (everyone seemed shocked as we always get there on time just so I can get on Pepper, the best and biggest pony). Pepper was waiting for me when we got there so I got to go straight on him, after my riding lesson we went to the playground and played with all my friends, this is the best bit of pony club. Afterwards daddy and me went to Khalifa park, where I got to play and meet some new people. On the way out of the park I got to climb a palm tree, which was really good. Daddy used to climb trees in England as part of his job.
The UAE red arrows started flying around, daddy and me climbed the big grass bank to watch them do lots of crazy flying one kept going upside down and spinning around, another one scared daddy as it shut down its engine and spiralled out of control and then about half a mile away from the ground and flew off; I think they were just trying to get dizzy, like I do when I run around and around, but I keep falling down luckily the aeroplane didn’t as he would have squashed me. Well they were really good, then we came home and I played in the garden and that was my day.

My quote-

Neo – “The man flying that plane is really clever but I hope he doesn’t fly our plane back to England, because mummy might be sick”

Fire ...

Today was another nursery day, we are learning about service people at nursery so as soon as mummy got home from school I asked her to show me photos and videos of fire spreading. At the weekend we had a BBQ, at the end daddy had to find a save place to put the hot charcoal safely so that it wouldn't start a fire. Mummy says that one of my favourite songs when I was younger was the fire starter. I'm not too keen on the video, this man (Keith Flint) looks a bit crazy, but he does make some good music, his band is one of my favourite even still.

Quote for today -

Neo - "Mummy I want to ride on an elephant when we go back to England in the summer"

Mummy - "You can't ride on an elephant in England, maybe we will go to Sri Lanka before we go back to England in the summer and you could ride on one there"

Neo - "No, in England. I have seen people riding on elephants in England"

 

Dinner ...

Today was a sad day, I had to hand Sammy back to my nursery teacher and to make it even worst he was not in my bed when I woke up so I looked & looked for him and cried for him, it turns out that he had gone for a walk in the night (or so daddy said) daddy showed me Sammy's passport where mummy had written down what we had done during the week, she also put some photos in there of Sammy at pony club / Sammy with Ponyo / Sammy and spot, I didn't take the photos of Spot and Sammy I think daddy must have taken them last night.
Anyway after nursery I came home and played with Amelia & Abdullah.

Todays Quote -
Neo - "I don't want any dinner today"
Daddy - "We are having salmon and roasted veg"
Neo - "I want to eat Abdullah"
Daddy - "You can't eat Abdullah"
Neo - "Why not?"
Daddy - "Dinners up"
Neo - "Where did you buy it from"
Daddy - "Lu Lu's" (which is like Tesco's)
Neo - "We don't have to buy everything from Lu Lu's"

Internet

Today was just like any other Sunday, mummy went to work, I went to nursery and daddy did whatever daddy does, BUT woo hoo someone has fixed this unseen net thing at last.

Today daddy said I have to write a mummy quote instead of mine:
Daddy - "Are you going to the gym tonight?"
Mummy - "No we've got the internet!"

but for those of you who want to know my quote it was -
Neo - "Can I see nanny now the net is fixed"

Swimming on Yas

Mummy and daddy phoned the net people again they didn’t sound happy, he did come this morning, but net still isn’t fixed, I think they should just get a new net this one is taking ages to fix, and I bet you can get new ones in the port area as that’s where all the fishermen are and they use loads of nets and cages. This morning, me and daddy went to the park with Grace, Amelia, Sophia, Thomas and Nicky. Mummy had to go to school because of the broken net. When mummy gets home we have lunch then go to Yas Island where there is a big race track and some hotels. We went to one of the hotels to use their swimming pools me and mummy walked around the pool and saw Nicky, Amelia, and Grace so we told daddy to move from his sun lounger to another one - I don’t know why he goes all funny if I wake him up early as he just lays in the sun every chance he gets. Well I decided I wanted to swim with Mummy, as Daddy goes swimming with me every week - so me, Mummy and Grace had lots of fun in the pool, Amelia joined for a bit but she’s scared of the water so she stayed on the steps near the edge. Daddy and Nicky just laid down chatting and sun bathing, Nicky kept complaining about how cold it was, I thought she was a northerner, she’s just a softy. We all had fun and when it was time to get out we played in the little park there until it was time to go home.

Todays quote -

Neo – “Daddy you need to change the battery in my toothbrush,  it’s straight”
Daddy – “Straight?”
Neo - “Yeah it’s gone straight”
Mummy – “Do you mean flat?”
Neo – “Yeah that”

Fly on Tongue

Today I thought about letting mummy and daddy lay in, but then I thought better of it and got up at my usual 6am, daddy let mummy stay in bed but she didn’t stay there for long, after we had done some boring food shopping we went to the toy shop which is really good and I want loads of things in there but I was only allowed a few bits (even thou there was some 25% off everything), but I did get a new motorbike like daddy’s one - as my old one got broken. After the toy shop we went to the family park near the Corniche, which is a really big park in Abu Dhabi with lots of different climbing frames  and a splash park which I love. When we got there Grace, Amelia, Nicky and Martin were there so we went off playing, while the doughnuts sat around talking, daddy and Martin went off and when they came back they had our BBQ and lots of food. It was a really good day as I love BBQ’s  BUT the net thing is still broken the man still hasn’t come mummy and daddy are not very happy about this.

Today’s quote while we were driving-

Neo  - “Mummy, Daddy had to spit out a fly last week, because it would make holes on his tongue"
Mummy - "Making holes in his tongue?"
Neo - "Yeah it was, with the spikes on its legs”

New toothpaste

Today wasn’t much fun, I played with Abdullah in the park for a bit, but daddy says we can’t go anywhere as the computer is broken and we have to wait for the man to come and fix it. I said he can use mine but he says it doesn’t do everything, and that there’s no net on mine - I think I can fix a net it’s just lots of holes with some string.

Today’s quote-
Neo - “I don’t like my new toothpaste”
Mummy - ”What flavour is it?”
Neo - “I don’t know, smell my breath”

Random boring fact

On average every 80 minutes someone looks at my blog ... wow I need to tell mummy to keep this up.
