I’m not Davies Mummy, I’m Dash :-)

Guess where me and Davies have been? 🙂

First thing this morning Ady and Davies went off to collect some plants from Ady’s work. Davies and Scarlett have both woken up with colds and poor Davies was crying as he said he’d miss me if he went out with Daddy, but he really wanted to go out with Daddy… He went, but did ring me twice from Ady’s in car phone to tell me what they were doing ‘driving along with the windows open so it’s really windy’ and ‘on our way home now, Mummy. I can see Arundel castle’ Bless 🙂

As they left my Dad arrived, come to put up a couple of shelves in our kitchen and a rod across the window to hang saucepans from with S hooks. He didn’t get very far as we ended up drinking tea / coffee, eating the posh biscuits I’d bought for WAG last week but forgotten to open and playing with Scarlett. She did a couple of puzzles, got Dad to read some books to her and played in her IKEA tent for a bit. Utterlt charmed my dad with all her little chatterings and was generally cute and adorable 🙂

Ady and Davies came home and they got the shelves and rods up, we all had lunch and then I dashed off to Tescos to get a few bits of food shopping. Davies decided he could not be parted from me so he came too. We actually had a nice wander round – he can be very good company on his own. Home again for about an hour before Ady dropped us of at the cinema.

I had questioned whether today was the right day to take him, he’d been up since about 5am, feeling grotty with his cold and a bit teary generally but he insisted he really wanted to go. It’s only the second time he’s been to the cinema – I took him to Shrek 2 a while back, which he didn’t really get into that much. He liked the whole popcorn, fizzy drink, feeling like a grown up being out with me part of it, but he got bored by the end of the film, and we have it on dvd now but he’s never wanted to watch it again.

Incredibles was a totally different story 🙂 We got our popcorn and coke and took our seats right at the front of the cinema. He settled in (you hold the fizzy Mummy and I’ll hold the popcorn), seemed to follow the story pretty well, tried really hard to remember to whisper and even let me dash off to the loo at one point. He was full of the film to Ady when he picked us up, was thrilled with the sticker book I had bought yesterday and gave him when we got home, insisted on wearing red pjs and putting a sticky ‘I’ on the front and has rechristened us all according to the characters in the film 🙂 I thought it was pretty good too actually. Very odd fashioned cartoon hero type stuff in terms of what the superheros powers were but with a very modern twist in the storyline. A good moral message and not too much gratuitous violence 🙂

Tomorrow Ady is off hopefully before I’ve even woken up (6am ish) and not back til very late Thursday night. I anticipate Davies being Dash pretty much all day and Scarlett seems destined to be being Violet whether she likes it or not 🙂
