Weird Things You Never Thought You'd Do: 1

By -
Realising on the way home that we urgently needed some more nappies
but
recognsing at the same time that waking Kathryn
was
A Very Bad Idea,
I stopped the car for a nano-second so that Rachel could jump out
and then
proceeded to drive very slowly six times around the whole of Morrisons carpark
whilst Rachel got supplies

I hope you remembered to get some for Kathryn as well?

Hullo little(!) Katy and welcome to our world. I wonder if I am sending you your very first email? I am sorry that, because it has taken me so long to find a way of contacting you and your mum and dad, it's got a bit late to send you - your first? - Christmas card.

Please tell your mummy that she is very clever - and brave! - to have made you, and that I know that you will give her much joy, as well as sleepless nights.Has she played the oboe to you yet? If not please ask her why not.

Very best wishes to you all three for a very happy 2009.

With love and best wishes from Marion (www.puffit.com)

Some supermarkets stack nappies & beer together on Friday evenings. They know their market!

Oh just you wait, there will be many more of these weird things to come!!! I used to sit on the stairs to eat my breakfast if David was happy playing in his playpen just so I would get a few more moments to myself....

Pardon my post-natal brain, but it's only just occurred to me that I could post MOVING images of Katy here. This thought struck me only a month after it also occurred to me I could make little videos in the first place using my trusty phone. Sigh ... and I have to start work again in June, how ever will I persuade people I can still think straight? This mini-epic features Katy playing with what used to be a cat toy - formerly property of Tsi-Tsa - who doesn't seem to quite agree with this redistribution of wealth!

Full marks to Katy's new class teacher, who has taught them 2 new things in her first week (Katy used to complain that they only taught her things she already knew). The first was metaphor - which has to be the most important thing, in my book (and who knows, in a few years time it may be the most important thing in my actual book :-)). The other was a 'fact or opinion' game, which we have just been playing in the kitchen. You put up a 'fact' sign on one wall, and an 'opinion' sign on the opposite wall. You then read out a series of statements, and the children have to go and stand in front of the sign which they think is right for the statement. I could be wrong, but this looks suspiciously like they are being taught to think critically for themselves! Just a pity that the spelling needs a bit more work.

A tooth! A tooth! Clearly visible and razor-sharp. Sorry, but photographing a baby's tooth is like trying to bath a cat, so you'll just have to believe me. And just to confound us, after nights of behaving like an unsettled newborn, last night she went straight down and slept 11 hours without so much as a whimper.
