I'm a handsome wee sucker...

Ohhhhh look at me!!  Aren't I just the most handsome dude in all the land?  

I was outside playing and blowing bubbles with Mummy and Asher when she snuck up and took this photo.

I've been a bit of a rat-bag lately - I like the idea of having my door open at night time now and found myself in the situation where I could have a wee party at 5am.  I headed downstairs while the olds were in the land of Nod and proceeded to put a roll of toilet paper in the bowl - wow!  Did you know that great wet handfulls of toilet paper make GREAT spitballs?  Well, I sure had fun flinging them at the walls and the door!!

Then all that flinging of toilet paper spitballs made me very hungry... so I headed to the kitchen for some eats.  Some orange juice, a coupla choccie biccies and some yoghurt was on the menu.... then it must be time to watch the goggle box for a bit.  

Oh no!!!  Mummy has found me out - that's the end of my party methinks.

Nothing a security gate that a 3 year old can't open won't stop though... dang it all!!

Bye bye for now

Jude

The biggest bird you have ever seen

I went to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua I saw lots of things that I loved, some bigfish, an eel, this big bird and most of all an owl.

I really couldn't understand why I didn't see a rainbow though... what is with that? A little confusing for a man like me I think.

I am off now.

Bye

Look at my Fairy Wand Cookie!!!

How cute am I?  I just baked up this here batch of fairy wand cookies and am now posing nicely for the camera.  I like to cook and even have my very own kitchen in which to whip up all sorts of delicacies.

I have started a new daycare and seem to be enjoying it.  It has a BIG sandpit - what more can I say?

Now that I am a big (nearly) 3.5 year old, I use the toilet all by myself, count to 9, sing lovely songs and generally drive my parents insane with my whining.  I don't like sharing with Asher.  He "grabs" my trains and that is a giant no-no.

I do play "tug-o-war" with Asher and the blanket - that is quite funny to drag Asher all around the lounge-room floor.  He likes it best when I put the blanket over his head and then lie on him.  He is a fun little play thing (sometimes).

Well, better dash - got some more train tracks to set up and I'm planning on making fish soup for dinner tonight - the old folks better like it and not say it is "spicy" or "too yuck"!!!

Jude over and out.

When you go down to the woods today....

... you're in for a sure surprise.

During my last week at big plau plau I got to take home Jack Bear and look after him. I wasn't too keen to share my bed with him but he just crept on in anyway.

I got a bit sick of him being around after a few days and gave him back.

Can I do the same with that brother of mine? He does cruel stuff to me like touching my trains and taking my DVDs. I am powerless as I can not harm him with punches, pushes or name calling, he just keeps coming back. 

I am off to bed now, hopefully Jack Bear hasn't come back, he leaves fur in my bed.

Drunk driving

I had a few pints and tried to drive home. I was cruising along on my specially made booze bus and all of a sudden I ran out of road.  I was caste and all I really wanted was another drink but some bastion of society (aka Asher) dobbed me in. 

Out came the cops with their little flashy camera and photographed the evidence. They also asked me to blow into a little bag. "Fudge you" I said, "blow into my little bag". 

I was locked up. I have a message for you all out there, please don't drink and drive you don't want to end up like me although I have no regrets, I am off to find another bottle of sugar enriched fluid.

As my mate Amy said "they tried to make me go to rehab I said no, no, no".

Jude "Scott Dixon" Thomas

Its snowing

Man mum and dad are idiots. They thought that at my age I could be left alone in the bath with some crazy foam and an imagination.

Well quite frankly they were wrong, I like to spray that crazy type foam all over my head, the bath and anything that moves.... including daddy.

Anyway just look at me and adore me, that is a command.

Brotherly Lurve

Asher was on the "naughty step" for touching the heater and Jude decided that he would like to sit with Asher on the step too.  He must have felt sorry for the poor child and his bottle of milk (knowing how truely awful and heinous the naughty step is from his own indiscretions).

But at least I got this lovely photo of the two of them and some brother love.

Awwwwwwww

Hey Mummy - what are you doing?

Man, riding in the car in luxury is hard work.  I'm just gonna put my hands behind my head and catch a few zees, don't ya think I look a little bit like Uncle Nick in this photo?

Anyway, I have been on holiday with Nana Vicki and Poppa Noel recently and didn't want to come home.

My latest thing is to ask "Hey Mummy/Daddy/Nana/Poppa"... then when the person in question finally answers, I say "what are you doing?".  It's quite funny as sometimes you don't really have anything to say.

Ciao for now.

A shark laxes on the couch...

Phew!!  It's hard work being a shark.  I'm just having a bit of a breather on the couch before I need to get back to chasing my little brother around and "doshing" him with pillows.  If I lay on him with the pillow for long enough he will squark.

Yes, and here I am "helping" Mummy wash the dishes.  In fact, I made a heck of a mess with water all over the floor and bench.  I am a 3 year old wretch.

I also made a mess with "yellow" water on the floor of all 3 toilets in our house today.  I seem to be able to get to the toilet no worries, but in the process of getting my Rios off, I get a bit excited and piddle myself.  I did this a number of times today.  Needless to say, Mummy had to do a bit of mopping.

My favourite saying at the moment is "Good morning Mummy and did you have a good sleep?  Did you hear me yelling for you?  That was Jude".

Lovely.

Jude & Asher love to "play" together...

Here is the proof that Jude and Asher really do love each other.  They love to play tickle-tummy-time together.  Notice that Jude even enjoyed Asher kicking him... he manouvers Asher's leg back into his guts... shades of sadism perhaps?

In fact, Jude and Asher play together quite a bit - the only thing that is verboten is the touching of Jude's trains.  NO-ONE IS TO TOUCH THE TRAINS... not even Mummy or Daddy and please please please DO NOT try to put the "faces" back on the trains or there will be screaming and fury.

Jude is currently in the middle of toilet training.  He is doing pretty well - if he is put on the toilet then he will usually go.  However, he is finding it a little harder to remember to go himself.  All in good time I am sure.

Asher is doing great - he is toddling around like a pro and enjoys pushing himself along on his ride-on and sliding on the slide in the garage.  He has a few words now - of course "mumma" and "dada", but now he has added to his repetoire "nana", "jude" and "cat".  He also likes to experiment with new (and annoying) sounds.  Asher is the ultimate milk fiend.  If he had a giant white afro we could call him "Count Homogenised".

I had a big boy Birthday!!!

Here I am looking hungrily (or tiredly?) at my cake.  I am intrigued by the flame!!

I had a great birthday and although the weather wasn't very nice, my friends and I all had a great time playing upstairs with trains and stealing unopened presents to take upstairs and play with on the sly.

I ate heaps of rubbish food and drank a bit of fizzy drink and I didn't have a sleep all day!!  I was a bit of a wreck at the end but it was all worth it.

I am now a big 3 year old.

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

That's right - I am 3 years old today.  This time 3 years ago Mummy was lying in a hospital bed trying to push my fat head out.

Above is the cake that Mummy made for me.  It is "silly old Gordon fell in a ditch" from my favourite episode of Thomas on DVD.  You will see that Mummy did a FANTASTIC job and is the best Mummy in the whole world!!!

Right, I'd better go and play with my new trains and track before my guests arrive.  Happy Birthday to meeeeeeee!!!

You spin me right round

What is more fierce than a shark appearing in your living room? That's right, a Dragon Shark!!!

What you see here is not sped up, it is a feeding frenzy without food.

The dragon shark has got hold of a zebra and is riding it damn hard. 

Slip n Slide

Here I am playing on my new slip n slide for the first time. I was a bit hesitant at first but then got into the swing of it and started sliding down on my tummy. I was a bit scared to do a running jump - but that will come with time I am sure.

I enjoyed putting my head under the water jets and then saying I was "crying". I also thought splashing in the pool at the end was great fun - but the water was COLD!!!

My 3rd Birthday Party is coming up soon - Mummy said she is about to send out the invitations to the lucky few. Look out for a VIP invite in your letterbox soon. And you are right cousin Talia - it IS all about Thomas!

Too Fast

I was just sitting quietly on my red rocket when all of a sudden it seemed too take off like a nitro infused formula one racing machine.

The look on my face says it all........agggghhhhhhhhh. I was shitting myself. I mean how was I going to be able to slow down without a parachute breaking system. Then I heard some giggling and looked around to see the cause of my speed and there it was. A sprinting ginga.

This was no ordinary ginga, he appeared to have the rage..... maybe that does make him an ordinary ginga? How was I going to slow him down so that we both didn't launch into space at super sonic speed. I had an idea.

"cookie" I shouted. The ginga stopped mid stride and started to sniff the air, he could smell the golden loot. Off he ran with his little trotters clicking on the wooden floor. I was safe.... temporarily. Who knows where the red menace will rise again, beware everyone.

More from Jude Chicca Chicca Chango

My kid brother (the orange person) just had his birthday and I have found that it is much more satisfying to play with other people's toys.

Here I am playing with Asher's Elmo. He also got a ride on Zebra which I pretend is a bucking bronco and I have a great ole time being "thrown" from its back.

My 3rd Birthday is coming up on 1st March and Mum promises me a Thomas Party. I can't wait to see my birthday cake!

Here is a video of me singing again... this time it's the last half of the Thomas Song - I will print the full lyric so that you can sing along with me. I am a very GOOD singer - often likened to Pavarotti.

Engine Roll Call:-

They're 2 they're 4 they're 6 they're 8

Shunting trucks and hauling freight

Red and Green and Brown and Blue

They're the really useful crew

All with different roles to play

From Tidmouth Sheds or far away

Down the hills and round the bends

THOMAS AND HIS FRIENDS!

Sing it with me now...

Thomas fanatic

You know you have a problem when the only song you can sing is the Thomas song.

Cheerio

Mum said that Dad always writes stupid things so I have taken over and will now write something serious and you can all see how boring it is to do it this way.

Yesterday I got up and played with my trains, then me and dad went to the shops. I didn't have my afternoon sleep because "I haven't", mum took me to the shops to get a new Thomas DVD (apparently Dad says she can't budget). When we got home I had cheerios for dinner and went straight to bed.

Exciting eh and oh so fun to read.

Merry Crimbo

A shark at rest...

This is what a shark does in his "down-time" ie: when he's having some time off for being a human killing machine - he watches a spot of tele.

And here I am just being cute. See I am wearing my "scuba suit" that Nana Vicki made for me. This scuba suit is necessary to contain the nappy within its recesses. If I am not put to bed with this suit on then little fingers take off the nappy and ALL SORTS of horrors then occur.

Santa Claus is coming to visit me (not Asher though) in less than a week. I can't wait to hear the pitter-patter of reindeer feet on the roof and know he is filling my stocking with Thomas & His Friends!!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Jude over and out.

Jude Irwin - Crocodile Hunter

Hi I'm Jude Irwin.

Here I am hunting for crocs. They are very angry animals as they have an enlarged medula oblongata. This is reallly dangerous folks - don't try this at home!!

You can't see the reptile in this shot as I have already caught it, skinned it and taken it to the taxidermist. I can catch most evil creatures apart from one........ the evil and wily Asher.

This monster is known for its quick wit, speedy movement, scaly skin and its ability to take my most favoured toys. You can often here its call, it sounds like "da, da, da, da" and has an evil laugh.

If you see it can you please let me know where it is? it shall be the next scalp in my trophy cabinet.

Jude "I hate Bindi cause she's ugly" Irwin
