Restful TOIL

By -
This comes in the category of Things That Should Not Happen. The other morning Owen couldn't take Katy to nursery because he had to leave at the crack of dawn to play a concert with the CBSO at Henley, of all venues (it's a tough life being a muso). Not a problem logistically as I had some Time Off In Lieu owing from last Saturday, so could do the nursery run without rushing. But would our lively little monkey be anxious to start her day at 4am, 5am or just 6am?
She slept until 7:30! And I had a cup of tea in bed!! After I dropped her at nursery I went into town and did towny things, like buying expensive face cream, drinking cappuccino and eating a burger, before going to work in the afternoon.
Katy is sleeping very well currently, and what did I notice this morning but a 5th tooth peeping through.

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.
