EASTER 2010

HELLO, Have you already missed me? I hope so. :-) Well, I`m back. I`m fine; I`m healthy and in a good mood most of the time. Everything is OK with you? I suppose so.

Now Mummy will publish a story about our Easter holiday which we spent in Hungary this time.

Just before Easter Daddy celebrated his 27th birthday. It`s me who makes him look that young!!!

On 3rd April also my Hungarian granny arrived in Dunafoldvar as she had been invited previously to celebrate Easter together. She brought some delicious home-made cakes, smoked cooked ham and some nicely-painted red eggs. Mummy bought some chocolate eggs and bunnies. We decorated the dining-room and also put a cute Easter decoration on the window pane. Look! Here it is. Can you see that I have a Dutch Daddy? Yee, Nijntje is a part of the decoration.

When I was taken down to have breakfast, the table was nicely laid with Easter related things, such as smoked ham, hard-boiled eggs, horse-raddish and scones. Mummy also prepared a substantial Easter breakfast for me, which I tasted, but to be honest, I didn`t really like it.
Maybe next year I`ll be mature enough to appreciate these dishes.

After having my yoghurt and some bites of ham, cheese and bread, I was shown my presents. In Hungary you only buy some small things for Easter, but there are families who give more to the children. Well, I got some nice books, a pink bucket with some shapes for making sand cakes :-), a white Easter Bunny and, 3 new T-shirts from Daddy and ... socks. I`m trying them on in the picture below.

The white T-shirt with the cute giraffe is one of the new ones. You will see the others later.


Well, after reading my new books, we went for a walk which I enjoyed a lot in spite of the wind.

I selected the flowers which I wanted Daddy to make a nice wreath from.

You can see how nice it was. I liked it a lot and I was very proud of my Dad.

Then grandma wanted to cuddle me... Later in the afternoon I watched a movie on TV. The main characters were bunnies. And I was eating something continuously. As I was ill the week before, I couldn`t eat, so I had to make up for the loss. :-)

Anyway, the cakes were so delicious that I couldn`t resist temptation. Then my big brothers were collected by Daddy and we went for a long walk.

Can you see where we ended up? On the playground.












In the evening after we had finished our dinner, grandma`s cake was put on the table. It was delicious! Puncstorta mama style. :-)

I was also allowed to taste it on Monday; oh, I liked it very much. It was Roli`s favourite cake, too.

Easter Monday was quite relaxed. No visitors to sprinkle the ladies! In the morning Mummy selected my clothes; I stole my old baby coat and tried it on. Look! I`ve grown a lot! By the way, the T-shirt I`m wearing is also from Daddy. Cute?

That day I played a lot, also with my brothers. They love me!!! They often say how nice it is to have a cute little sister as I am. Grandma was also glad to have all her grandchildren around.

We were playing all the afternoon. It was really nice.

We couldn`t really go for a long walk that day as the weather was awful. It was cool, windy and rainy.
Anyway, we had a nice time at home. I like when there are people around me, especially the presence of the familly members makes me happy.

Well, that was it for now.

I hope you liked the story.

I`m back soon. :-)

Enjoy the rest of the day! Bye-bye!

Being ill for the first time

Hello! Here I am again.
Can you remember the end of the last story? Yes, I indicated that Mummy started to feel sick on Sunday. Well, I also got infected by Monday. Actually when my Hungarian grandma was informed about Mum`s weakness (stomach-ache, diarrhoea, being dizzy and nosious), she decided to drive to us to help Mummy. The problem was that by Monday afternoon it was not only Mummy, but also me who needed more attention. I was vomiting all the evening... Everything came out, even the water they made me drink in order to avoid my drying out. Fortunately I only had a slight temperature. The doctor said it was a stupid virus infection. For five days I hardly ate anything. I became quite weak, pale and I didn`t feel like doing anything. The only thing which I liked doing was being outside in the nature.

It was a very stubborn virus as it infected everybody. By Tuesday Daddy got it, on Wednesday grandma was also sick. Anyway, it didn`t last for a long time. :-) By the weekend I felt much better, so I enjoyed being in the playground with my parents.

Swinging, sliding, playing with sand and laughing again!!!

And the most important thing is that my appetite was coming back gradually. On Saturday morning I was happy to eat again. I was eagerly putting everything into my mouth which was on my plate. There were tears of happiness in Mummy`s eyes. Look! You can see how much I ate that morning. I have to admit that I was extremely hungry. I will grow a lot if I an eat properly again. :-)))


I started to gain back my energy and also my interest in the world around me.

I was glad to see the flowers (daffodils, violets, crocuses) growing in our garden.

On Sunday I could eat half of my lunch. That was the first warm food I ate since Monday.

I started to enjoy people`s company again.

I could entertain myself for a short period of time and I was also happy to help Mummy.

I was interested in books again. When I was ill, I refused to read.

As I was healthy again, on 30th March I got my vaccination (the compulsory one at the age of 15 months and also the one against chicken-pox). My appetite is bigger than it was before. Oh, I forgot to tell that I`m 10.3 kilos and 77cm tall.

.........................................................................................................................................................................

So I think I`m completely recovered from my illness similarly to the other members of the family. Look! These pictures were taken some days ago.

The weather is nice in Hungary; I love going for a walk, listening to the cute little birds` chirping, smelling flowers, ...

...playing with the ball, ...

...sitting down when I`m tired, stroking the surface of trunks,...

...picking flowers for Mummy in the park, checking pebbles in the garden, ...

...noticing spiders running on the wall, stroking flowers in the front garden, ... Oh, I like being outide so much!!!

Well, that was my story. Actually the emphasis is always on the photos taken mainly by Mummy.

Happy Easter Holiday!

See you soon!

Bye-bye!
