Mostly I’m sure due to being with Ali today when that is normally a ‘Friday thing’.
Forgot to mention yesterday so I’ll mention now that Davies was playing with the xylophone yesterday and picking out the W&G tune he’d learnt on the piano on Sunday including carrying on and learning the next bit. He did that all by himself and it was only when Tarly commented on it I realised it was coming from the next room pretty much note perfect. 🙂
So this morning we played a bit more set and I tried to persuade Davies it was perfectly possible to play alone but he was having none of it! Tarly was playing with some letterland letter flash cards which I had dug out ready to go on ebay and have been played with – having been previously ignored for about 3 years – ever since! I did a few loads of washing which had built up with the rain this week and we were out of the house shortly after 10am.
We had a lovely few hours at Ali’s with much turn taking on the Leapster ;-), some playing with Gears!Gears!Gears!, lots of chatting and some Xboxing for Davies and Freya. The children managed their usual trick of interupting every conversation so all topics were covered in a stop, start manner with us spewing out as much information as we could in short spaces of time. 😆
We managed to leave promptly despite Davies and Scarlett viewing Ali’s house as some sort of library where every item is up for borrowing 😉 and only came away with a Barbie Nutcracker dvd 😆 Ali, I can only assume you are building up to asking for a really big borrow of something at our house in return – Ady perhaps? 😆 He comes with accessories including Ady machine and boots!
We took Malice to the vets for her post-op checkup and came home for a premiere viewing of the Barbie (ack!) film.
LOL oh yes would love to borrow Ady with boots and Ady machine! How many Barbie DVDs and plasticine swan-gooses will that be?
Sorry to be introducing Barbie into your house – someone with an older daughter did it to us and like a virus we are passing it on. It won’t be as bad as you think, promise, we’ve learned to live with the symptoms now and have become carriers.
