Birthday Number Three

First Bike After delirious present opening - Eloise says thanks - and a chat with Matt, we went to music where we did the usual silly things to the usual songs.

Eloise was quite tired so we went for an early lunch and bed and I walked the dogs.

Eloise ended up sleeping til four o'clock, and we hadn't really planned out activities for the day but when Nicole suggested taking Eloise's new bike out to feed the ducks this was met by whoops of enthusiasm and soon we were on the road and heading for the brook.

Soon it started raining though and after sheltering for a while underneath the entrance to Crusher's we headed home with our metaphorical tails between our metaphorical legs.

In the evening we went out for a pizza and threw paper planes around the restaurant and generally had a nice time, then a chat with Brendan and Shirley rounded off the day.

It's been a nice day all in all, and Eloise enjoyed it. Particularly chuffed that she likes her bike so much; after only a few hours she's pedalling around and steering around corners. "This is very excellent!" she said, just before it started raining. "I'm wet," she said then, followed by "I want to go home now, thank you. Home. Yes."
