Dear Mummy, I’ve been thinking about this quite a lot recently. What really makes me happy as a toddler? It’s not the same as an adult surely? I have no real concept of money, status or power. I’m sure my mummy’s list would differ greatly to mine?
Thank you to PickingUpToys for tagging me for the 50 Happy Things challenge! There are lots of people participating in this at the moment so I hope you like getting to know me a bit better 🙂
So here’s my list of 50 things that make me happy is a simple list of things that bring pleasure to my day.
1) My Daddy and Mummy (obviously!).
2) My Grandparents.
3) Sunshine and dry weather.
4) The outdoors and getting fresh air.
5) Puddle jumping with wellies on.
6) Kiss chase with the boys at nursery. (shhh don’t tell daddy! He’ll have them shot!)
7) Cake (like in my #Betterwithcake post – see the video for a giggle).
8) Disney’s Frozen (I love signing “legit goooooooo, legit goooooooo”).
9) The Gruffalo and anything to do with the Gruffalo.
10) My Dollies (I like putting them to sleep and saying Shhhhhh).
11) My sleep (I think this brings more pleasure to my mummy than me!).
12) Bananas.
13) Grapes (only the red ones).

21) Feeding crisps into the DVD player.
