We’re listening to Terrible Tudors lots still and have learnt the words to the Henry VIII song that Poppy sang at camp. Except Tarly, who has not had occassion to come into contact with the word eighth before insists it is a song about ‘Henry the Wolf’.
Is doing lots of math-y stuff. Yesterday morning while sitting on the worktop she told me how she had made her marmite on toast with Ady. Daddy cooked it and then I spread the butter all by myself and then I spread the marmite all by myself. And then Daddy cutted (sic) it. Hey, we both did two things. That’s sharing!’ Asked how many things that was altogether and aided by some fingers she deduced it was four. 🙂
At Lucy’s house yesterday she asked me for a drink of water, which I got her. She then added a drink of orange juice to her hoard that Lucy had got for her. ‘Look I’ve got two drinks now Mummy. Water and orange juice. The water is first’ and when prompted as to what the orange juice would be ‘It would be, erm second’. Didn’t know she knew that word. Guess she’s not so far away from eighth after all. 😆
Amused us all last night when I served the children pizza and garlic bread for tea. Davies doesn’t like pizza so he got to be ‘in charge’ of the garlic bread. I told them all to have one slice at a time and then go back for another afterwards rather than pile plates with food. Tarly echoed me with ‘Yeah. Have a bit of pizza, then another bit of pizza. When that’s all gone have a slice of garlic bread. When that’s all gone, go to bed!’ 😆
We were at the park today and there were lots of children there. One of them was calling another; ‘Charlie, Charlie’. Tarly stopped what she was doing and said ‘
‘Oh I see’ she said ‘Like Lola sounds a bit like Lulah?’
I agreed.
‘So Charlie and Lola is a bit like me and Lulah then isn’t it. Tarly and Lulah!’ She seemed very pleased with that. 🙂
Lol, hadn’t thought of that Tarly & Lulah! Cute 🙂
