Dylan: I want to give David a present. What can I give him? Can I buy him something?
Mum: No. You can make him something though.
Dylan: I’ve got a GREAT idea!
Mum: What’s that?
Dylan: We can do some painting again – you can do a picture for the cleaner, and I can do a picture for David!
Mum: OK. What will you paint?
Dylan: I’ll paint him a picture of the submarine we went on, because he’s not going on it.

Dylan: Will we be at Gran Canaria on a weekend?
Mum: Yes – we’re going for two weeks, so we’ll be there for two weekends. Why?
Dylan: Because there’s a girl at KidSize – Keeley – who’s going to Gran Canaria too! Well, she thinks she’s going to Gran Canaria.
Mum: Ah OK, but maybe not at the same time as us.
Dylan: Yes, she is! She’s going on Saturday, so she’ll be there next week.
Mum: Well that’s a coincidence isn’t it?
Dylan: Yes – and It’s great that we’ll be there over a weekend, because me and Keeley are going to meet up at the swimming pool at the weekend. Maybe.
Mum: Did you make the cakes today or just decorate them?
Boy: We just decorated them.
Mum: How did you decorate yours?
Boy: We had to do something sporty on them and mine was awesome!
Mum: What was it?
Boy: It was me – sweating! Because I was running so much. And I really did that today – I ran a lot.
Actually it wasn’t me sweating, it was me with a swoosh behind me – you know when you’re running SO fast that the air swooshes? It tasted sooooo yummy.
Mum: What’s this in your book bag?
Son: Oh that’s from Lucy from her holiday. It’s a heart and she writed my name on it. Leo and Jaimie got badges but she only had two badges so she gave the rest of us boys hearts.
Jaimie said he was going to ask his mum if they could go to a shop and buy some more badges so I could have one.
It’s our garden and you’ve got to try and find the Easter eggs. But watch out, because some are FALSE Easter eggs!
That’s a flower on the table, that big tall purple one is a big apple tree and there’s grass all around to hunt for eggs in. They’re the steps to the gym [left], that’s the weight lifter in the gym [far left, on top of the door], but instead of weights at each end, it’s got EASTER EGGS!
D: It’s an Easter card for you mum. It’s an Easter egg hunt picture. You have to find all the Easter eggs, BUT! There’s a problem, because some of them are trick balls! So can you find the Easter Eggs?
Me: Is that one?
D: Yes! You’ve got 105 points.
Me: Is that one?
D: No. That’s a trick ball. 104 points.

Rabbit rescue – Mar 2013
We all had to do this – it’s when you draw something you find on your doorstep and you don’t know where to take it. I found a rabbit on my doorstep [left]. And I decided that I needed to take some pizza, a backpack and a map [centre]. And I took the rabbit to Africa [right].

D: That’s you – in red – and that’s me – in yellow. That’s another person, and that’s another person with a really small head, and that’s another person [all top right]. That’s a person who’s pretending to be strong [middle-ish with triangles for arms]. That’s the sea at the bottom, with a BIG wave. That’s some yellow sand, and that’s some black sand – but I didn’t have a black, so I had to do it in brown.
