Hi! Coco here! Today I'm going to talk about how a day out with Charlotte went tragically downhill for my good friend Sybil.
As far as I'm concerned, I play a role in one of Sybil's upcoming I.B.F.Fs Music Bits, named 'It Is Usual'. There is a bit in her Scream Street Joke Book which lists down some spoof zombie horror songs by spoofs of famous people in the music industry such as Rhianna and The Weeknd, and Sybil's planning to turn them into original songs. In the song 'It Is Usual', its story spoofs the Horrid Henry episode 'Horrid Henry's Happy Family' as I enter my family into a competition to find the Happiest Family Ever. Bluey enters with her dad, mum, sister, uncle, aunt and cousins, and Sybil enters with her older siblings, their parents, her mum, her aunt and her big cousin.
Anyway, Sybil had her breakfast at Charlotte's as usual - bacon rolls, orange juice, hot chocolate and some chocolate biscuits and Jaffa cakes. She wanted to show her pictures of her Christmas presents, but unfortunately, she didn't have time. My mum won't let me watch Horrid Henry, as it encourages bad behaviour - she even won't let me have chocolate biscuits until after tea, because of current circumstances.
Later, they went out to the forest to leave a present out for Silba, a character from Sybil's original story The Legend Of Old Grandpa - two chocolates. It all went well at first, walking about in the fresh, frosty air, until Sybil started bawling over her booster, which she's going to have tomorrow. She was screaming and shouting about it so much that she even started shouting rude words which I'm not going to talk about because my mum says I'm too young to understand them. Lee-Anne came with them too, I'm not joking. She talked with her mum in the car about her intense panic, because, you know, autistic children get a little jittery when it comes to injections, so Charlotte had a long talk on the phone with her mum. Sybil was puffing and panting and her heart was beating fast. Fortunately, Sybil's mum said she can have her injection in the car. All you have to do is sit still and focus on holding her mum's hand. Autistic people are helpless, I know.
At home, she got mega-worried, but it was her mum who reassured her. As for me, I found Bluey crying in the park today. She told me that Sybil will feel pain if she has it done, and terrible thoughts will enter her head, like adverts and loud noises and dreadful stuff like that. She's going to watch that Bing episode to reassure her tomorrow, and earlier she found some fun videos that help calm her down, themed to mindfulness, piano music and pies. Here's some we found earlier, themed to Barbie, Wallace & Gromit and Sybil's favourite Disney film The Lion King.
I must be going because mum's on at me to brush my teeth and get ready for bed. Bye!
CBBC has done something new to bring its programming to its knees. It's a new time of closure, and they have made a deal with The Pokemon Company to air their popular property. That means...NO SCREAM STREET! AAAAAAAAA!!!
We're spending a moment of quiet today, as today's short story is a mega-short scripted Bonus Bit about Cleo comforting me during bedtime. First, I searched for some quiet time activities, and I came across this cupcake play dough kit - using balls of clay and various bits and pieces to make cupcakes is the best way to keep calm at the end of the day. Speaking of, I also found this list of 15 bedtime books for babies and toddlers - my personal favourites are Llama Llama Nighty Night and Global Baby Bedtime.
In this short scripted story based on my version of Baby Race, Cleo soothes me to sleep and tells me what means most to her and her siblings, based on what she saw on my pyjamas.
In my Disney Villains planner, Ursula is the one featured this week. In The Little Mermaid, she makes a deal with Ariel to transform her into a human for three days, and as a result, she trades her mermaid tail for a pair of legs! If you want to trade your legs for a mermaid tail, now's your chance. This tutorial will show you how!
Cleo reassures and comforts me to sleep before bed, comparing my warmth to a hot water bottle and a puppy and telling what the bunny and duck on my pyjamas are meant to represent.
Christmas was a time to be thankful for everything, including presents. Now that it's over, you can use these printable Christmas letter templates to thank your family members for all the nice presents you got this Christmas, whether it's Bluey figures or Paw Patrol vehicles (yeah, I'm talking to you, JJ and Reece). If I were to be writing a thank you letter, it would obviously be for my best Christmas present ever, the Scream Street Spooktacular Joke Book. It's all I kept thinking about since yesterday!
OH NO! The scabby carcass of a turkey is begging for you to use it for something else, so combine it with pastry to make these mouth-watering turkey hand pastries. After you've done that, bring a red nose to your breakfast by combining bacon, pancakes, blueberries and strawberries to create pancakes based on everyone's favourite reindeer, Rudolph.
Merry Christmas! To me, I'd describe it as the 'Best Christmas Ever', so let me tell you all about it. Gather round now...
It all started at the beginning of Christmas morning. Mum and I were watching Disney+, waiting wildly for presents to be opened. Because I was watching the second segment in Mickey's Twice Upon A Christmas, where Donald's nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie had eaten all the cookies their uncle Scrooge was going to save for dessert, I decided to do what Father Christmas might do if he exists and I left cookies and milk out for him...by having cookies and milk for breakfast! It is Christmas, you know. Now, ONTO THE PRESENTS!
This is my first present - the Instant Happy Journal. It brings instant happiness, don't you know?!
The 3-Minute Gratitude Journal For Kids. I wouldn't say 'For Kids', I would say it's for adults too.
Mr Calm. It's the tale of a sandal-wearing Mr Man whose peaceful life is disturbed by other noisier Mr Men. Some Mr Men wear glasses, because they like to be diverse. Mr Calm is one of them.
My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open. Shame on you for watching too many adverts, me!
Cutest In The Galaxy. This notebook features Baby Yoda, which I'm only going to see in Star Wars: Galaxy Of Sounds, not The Mandalorian.
The Best Is Yet To Come 2022 Planner. But it's so...small!
Today Is Great. All the characters in this journal are quite Pac-Man like.
Bluey: Magic Xylophone. Now I can keep Bluey without constantly repeating her first season on Disney+!
Disney Villains: Slay Your Day. I like this journal because it has Lion King villain Scar in it.
So...? Body Mist. This came unexpectedly, and it smells remarkably of ice cream when you think about it. In fact, Christmas 2021 smells of ice cream too! Pink Grapefruit, Sweet Pea, Vanilla, Cotton Candy...they have ice creamy type smells.
The One Minute Journal For Kids. Love the spots!
One Line A Day. Urp-ey-durp, I'm not talking about my green one, I'm talking about the one pictured above. Also, do I sound like Linda when she's forcing Tucker away from the bath? Am gonna dooz it!
Horrid Henry's Wild Weekend. I'm watching it right now as I speak. "It's not fair!" screamed Henry, "Why are two CBBC stars in a Nickelodeon animated series?!"
Toy Story Alien Notebook. I may have ignored the Scream Street two-parter Toy Scary because of circumstances, but this alien is going "Ooooooh!" at me right now!
Breathe Out. I know it's made by a mental health charity, but we all need to take some time to breathe, right?
Dumbo: Powered By Dreams notebook. The live-action Dumbo hasn't got Timothy Mouse, but we prefer the animated movie better, am I right?
And now, the moment you've been waiting for, my ultimate Christmas present, THE SCREAM STREET SPOOKTACULAR JOKE BOOK! It's much better than Series 2, because just by reading all these jokes, I get ideas for bonus bits. For example, Boomerang star Bunnicula stars in a short where we flash back to Luke, Resus and Cleo's toddlerhood as they fight over toy animals, and Otto's mum stars in some of the shorts, especially when we do a play in the park. I'm also thinking of turning the song playlist in the book into actual songs, performed by artists like Ne-Yo, Armand Van Helden and Little Big Town.
Nivea You're A Star. It's like I really caught a falling star Santa found hanging from the sky, and it has Constellations all over it.
The miniature Winnie The Pooh diary. It's a good replacement for my old Winnie The Pooh diary, and it's so cute!
Impulse Mini Body Spray. It had lots of little bottles of body spray so I'll smell fresh all year long!
The Bluey and Hey Duggee Little Library. None of them are alike - both share the same popularity. Hey Duggee is all about going to bed, and Bluey is all about the titular dog and her family.
Cupcake Cookbook For Kids. Perfect for taking out with Mairi!
Create Your Own Comic Book. I can create some Bonus Bits in comic form!
My Little Pony Annual 2021. Best of both worlds - G4 and G5! There's no reason for flash-animated ponies and CGi ponies to mix!
Ten Minutes To Bed: Little Unicorn's Birthday. This is the tale of a unicorn, a mermaid, a yellow monster thing and a dragon who celebrate a party with balloons, cake, lots of food and fireworks! I wish I could celebrate my birthday with Pinkie Pie.
Bluey: Fun & Games. This colouring book leaks images from Series 2, telling us all that Series 2 will come to CBeebies soon.
The Alice In Wonderland planner. I'm using this instead of a boring, drab planner.
Ten Minutes To Bed: Little Unicorn's Christmas. I love when Little Unicorn was rolling about in the snow and catching snowflakes on her tongue.
Bluey: The Beach. More Bluey! Bluey looks wild covered with suncream and zinc, and so does Bingo.
Bluey: Goodnight, Fruit Bat. I love the bit in both the book and the episode where Bluey became a fruit bat and ate fruit in every jungle and garden she could find.
My Little Pony: Ultimate Creative Colouring. The ponies in this book look like they're becoming creative symbols and icons for perfume or lipstick.
My Little Pony: Friendship Journal. I'm planning to turn Pinkie Pie's jokes in one part of the book into Me, You, And My Little Pony Bonus Bits, one of the shorts featuring the G1 Sea Ponies. Shoo-be-doo, shoo-shoo-be-doo!
Minnie Mouse. This is a creative set with pens and a notebook, with Minnie's trademark red-with-white-spots background.
Goodnight, Baby Flurry Heart. Shining Armour looks such a sight balancing a soft animal on his bottom!
My Little Pony: Winter Wonderland Creative Colouring. Christmas biscuits, snowflakes, candy canes and everything Christmassy in Ponyville.
Impulse Very Pink. I'll wear this alongside So...? and the smaller Impulse bottles.
And finally, a pink owl bag. I can carry everything! It starts out small, but it turns out fine.
And now, since the Scream Street Joke Book is my best present ever, I'll show you some videos I watched earlier.
At home, she got mega-worried, but it was her mum who reassured her. As for me, I found Bluey crying in the park today. She told me that Sybil will feel pain if she has it done, and terrible thoughts will enter her head, like adverts and loud noises and dreadful stuff like that. She's going to watch that Bing episode to reassure her tomorrow, and earlier she found some fun videos that help calm her down, themed to mindfulness, piano music and pies. Here's some we found earlier, themed to Barbie, Wallace & Gromit and Sybil's favourite Disney film The Lion King.
