Of course we’ve moved on from buggies, and are fully signed up baby waring hippies, but when we we’re new to it all yes even we had a pram- but in a sign of how great we are as parents it was a rear facing one – so that explains why Daisy never stops talking.
We still have it too – we where never sure if there might come a time when Henry would use it, but he never has. Maybe now is the time to sell it on ebay?
and he is now sporting a nice pair of size 4G shoes, not that he’s to enamored with it all. he can’t now pull his socks off; he screamed the Clark’s in Cheshire oaks down – but now it’s done.
Oh and we bought a new car.
We have just bought a Mazda 5 thing; We are now officially members of the people carrier club, yes we have a car with 7 seats, because we have two children. I am told this is so we can have other people in the car along side the family, and not because we would be having any more children.
A Mazda, it's not silver
Ruth’s friend has just got one of these so despite test driving the blue one we’ve bought a different colour one, Ruth says it’s duck-egg; although the piece of paper says it’s silver. We’ve managed to swap our rather old, poorly tricked out skoda, for something much newer and more feature rich car, without doing much to how much we are paying per month. Although the fact we are going from Diesel to Petrol may have an effect.
We do the swap next Saturday, when we will almost certainly go for a drive somewhere, and show off our car which has at least 9 cup-holders!
When Daisy was ill, last week, she basically wanted to spend the whole time lying on the sofa, watching TV or sleeping. It meant I couldn’t leave the house much, but at least I could go and brew up.
Henry’s preferred approach is to sit on my knee and watch the TV, and that’s much more inconvenient. My only consolation is that he will at least consent to being put to bed at regular intervals, since naps are still a normal part of his day. Daisy desperately needed a nap most days last week, but refused to do the sensible thing and go to bed for it…
Daisy was sick again yesterday, so I took her the doctors for the once over today. of course she is right as rain now; and was running around the surgery making lots of friends; but it was a whole week between her being sick the first time so we thought we best get a check. general consensus is that’s its a tummy bug. the doctor wanted to test for Kidneys but we couldn’t get anything to test so we decided it was quite unlikely.
Henry has been sick this afternoon; so it’s almost certainly a tummy bug that he now has.. I suspect I am next and then Ruth. I don’t have the most robust immune system in the world. and I am on a bit of a run down working quite hard need a holiday stint.
