We have a conker tree. I like to open the conkers by stepping on them, or smashing them with a brick. I also like to smash snails, but not always. Sometimes I watch them crawl and touch them gently with a stick to make their eyes move. I only smash snails in our garden though, not anywhere else.
I like to stroke our chickens, but they only like it a little bit. Guinea lets me stroke her a couple times, and so does Scary, but then they walk away. I told my mummy, "the chicken said, 'thank you, no more strokes please!'" Scary really likes my shoes. She always comes to me and looks at them. She's not allowed to peck them, though. I also like to turn over stones and boards for chickens, so they can eat the bugs and slugs underneath. There was a really big slug on one board, and I told my mummy, "chickens only have small mouths, so they can't eat it."
On our walk there are lots of blackberries now. I eat lots, even if they're sour. There's also other things I like but aren't ready yet: apples, plums, nuts. Also sloes, that I liked when I was little; I'll have to try them again this year to see if I still like them.
I can write my whole name, first and last, and also type it. I can spell it out loud too. I really like to do colouring books with my mummy. We have two good ones and we both colour. I also love to cut out shapes with scissors, and make crafts. My friend Angela from London gave me some finger puppet kits and badge kits, and I made them all by myself, with only a little help.
