A happy clown

A new clown

Today I went to two parties. First of all we went to the party in Mammy's office where I got my face painted and Ríodhna had a balloon made and we saw a magic show and best of all we met Santa Claus who knew all about Johanna minding us and me starting school and said that on Christmas Eve we have to leave out a glass of milk and a carrot for Rudolph and then we showed him how we're going to close our eyes tight and go to sleep and he gave us a present each for being so good so far. I got a Cinderella costume and Ríodhna got a fairy costume and wings and a wand.


Then we had to go to my next party - Estella and Ruthie were having a birthday party together in Imaginosity that I had to go to. We nearly slipped on ice on our way in. We had a fab time playing with all the stuff and then we had the party and we all made Christmas decorations.

Mammy and Daddy and Ríodhna had to go home. Ríodhna's not very well at the moment. On Friday night Mammy and Daddy were meant to go out but she wasn't well so they had to take her to the doctor while Johanna put me to bed. Then Mammy came back to get her pyjamas and a few other things because the doctor said they had to bring her to the hospital because she might have pneumonia. I helped Mammy remember to bring her dressing gown. When I woke up the next morning she was back - I was very happy that she didn't have to stay in hospital. She had an xray and lots of nurses and doctors looked at her and they gave her lots of medicine that she had to breathe in - and it wasn't very nice but she was very good - specially when she was offered some choccie biccies as a treat for being good. She has a bad cough and we won't be going out too much over Christmas to make sure she's ok.
