Lucy and "Steve" in the prayground

Lucy teaches Naimah Steve a few moves in the prayground

Tree Monkey

There can be little that defines childhood as much a climbing trees. Aside from being the lungs of the planet, a source of fire and a quite promising building material, it is clear the the prime function of trees is to be an adventure playground for kids.

Lucy scales this leviathan like a rat up a drain pipe.

It is only then that Lucy realises that climbing down trees can be a bit harder than climbing up them.

But after a little practice her confidence grows and she is like the new Tarzan

"Can I build a tree house Dad?"

Biker

Lucy is taking her rabbit for a bike ride in the park

She gets her head down to improve the aerodynamic performance

Cycling is hard work. Lucy takes a breather.

Lucy on a JCB

While Lucy was at the pwayground she couldn't help notice that a little boy had got an electric JCB toy. By leveraging the power of her big doe eyes she managed to persuade the boy's mother to give her a go. As the kind lady attempted to explain to her how to drive the truck, Lucy sped off almost taking the woman's hand with her.

The little boy had to run pretty fast to keep up with Jenson Lucy as she tore round the paddling pool.

It certainly looks like Lucy will pass her driving test before Aunty Pink.

Pwayground

Lucy is having a swing with her friends Plop and Tiny Cheetah

They seem to be enjoying themselves

When it is time to have a go on the rocking horse Lucy ensures that all her friends have a good seat.

Daddy and Lucy at the Playground

Daddy and Lucy are at the playground. Daddy is pushing Lucy on the swing.

She is swinging very high

Swinging is great fun

Then she hops on her bike for the journey home

Jack-in-a-Box

Lucy and Jonathan have got hold of a Jack-in-a-Box. Jonathan winds the handle to see what happens.

Both the little characters are surprised. It is a monkey-in-a-box!

Lucy has a little dip to cool off after the monkey shock

Through the Web

Lucy is playing on the yellow climbing fame in the playground.

She thinks it is a bit like a spiders web.

Some clips of Lucy and Panda

Some clips of Lucy from her second birthday party in April up until about June (when we got a new camera). The next film will be more of the same except in "HD". That is very important to a Panda. (The music is from The excellent Lush (hope they don't mind too much - but it fits so well)). To view a bigger and slightly higher quality version just right click on the picture and select "Watch on YouTube".

Pwayground with Lorna

Lorna* is giving Lucy a solid push on the swing. Wheeeee.

Lucy loves her new winter coat. "I'm a little bear"

The little bear leads Lorna*, Mummy and Stewby on a rocking horse ride.

High five Mummy!

*All pictures of LC approved by Mummy. Don't shoot the messenger.

On The Wire

Out of the blue, Lucy was suddenly able to walk the tight rope bridge in the playground.

Perhaps a job in the circus is in the offing?

"Yeah, Lucy done it."

Scooter in the Park

This is Lucy's cool scooter.

Lucy looks pretty determined

That's it.

Barry Sheene would be proud.

Swimming in the Playground

Lucy is in the paddling pool in the playground

Even though it is only shallow Mummy is on hand to make sure that she doesn't get out of her depth.

Lucy decides that going for a swim must involve getting her hair wet.

That's better.

Lucy and Panda drive the Train

Lucy and Panda are beck in the playground.

Lucy and Panda go to the Playground

Lucy takes Panda to the playground. He is fun in the train.

But he proves to be rather less capable on the see saw.

The solution is obvious. Panda and Mummy team up.
