We drove down south on Friday to see Daniel's two sisters in Southampton, we booked Holiday Inn this time and stayed over for Friday and Saturday nights. Friday afternoon on arrival in Southampton we took Daniel to Marwell Zoo to see animals. Daniel was delighted by the road train towed by a trator in the zoo, he kept saying 'more, more...' each time the train stopped.
Daniel's two sisters are certainly approaching the busiest year of their teenagehood with Hanna is doing her GCSE and Charlotte has one more year to go before university. That's why our visit was planned short this time as they were both busy with their study and part-time working. Friday night we had meal at the pub where Charlotte does her part-time waitressing, Daniel behaved very well the whole evening and he even handed in the tip to his sister as she was on-duty that night serving us. On Saturday we took 3 children to visit their grands in littleampton and came back the hotel in the evening. We certainly made the most of weather on Saturday coming back home with bad sun-burns on my shoulders and tan on everyone faces. (I was busy putting lots of sun-cream all over Daniel's face and body I forgot to put some sun-cream on my shoulders.) We spent the day strolling and making sand castle on the beach outside Terry's parents' house and had ice-cream and fish & chips at the sea front. Daniel certainly enjoyed playing in the sea and paddles. He would say 'gone..' with both his hands stretching out flat when the tides gone. He didn't even mind to walk on the pebble bit of beach...

Love looking at Daniel's chubby legs and arms, soooo cute! Are you going to start toilet training this summer or wait until next year?
Good to see you guys enjoy the sun and beach. Meanwhile, it's pouring rain here everyday for almost a week now.
I will probably wait until next year as Daniel hasn't show any sign of readiness. He even doesn't want me to change his dirty nappy sometimes...
Isabel is definitely ready after watching the big brother doing his business for so long. She would run into the bathroom, lift up the lid, get close to the toilet bowl, lift up her top and "pretend" she was doing wee wee in a boy's style while saying "wee wee, wee wee"...... She looks so funny!! Then I laugh and have to tell her "No, you don't do wee wee like this. You are a girl and we do differently." But, I'm too lazy to train her. Will wait for the summer.
