Afteroon on a windy, stormy day. One more Friday with sudden rain and no Raul classes for Leo,
I think we'll just stick to a bit of house play and a couple of videos, Leo wanted to go to the cinema and watch Gnomeo and Guliet but in this pelting rain frankly, I'd rather come home to the comfort of home TV (generally what happens) not to mention a outing of 3 to the cinema costs 50 dollars and it seems ridiculous. At least he had a FREE ( does that ever happen?!) checkup of his teeth at school and everything seems to be top notch, I must say that that water-pik does wonders, or he has his father's teeth for the moment, in any case, it's one sigh of relief.
Woke up this morning feeling there was a presence in the sitting room and there was, a little munchkin sitting on the sofa with no trousers or nickers and reading (or looking) at a book in the freezing dark at 6am. I realize that there is a big puddle in front of the loo with some discarded trousers and ask Nea what on earth happened, why was she there with no trousers on and had she pissed herself? The answer was
" Yes mummy, I was going to the toilet and... someshing happened, it just came out! "
Oh well so sorry to hear that Nea, that's unusual (It is, about the 4th time since she started potty training, she even goes by herself during the night and crawls back into bed without ever waking a soul) but you should have come and told me! You must be freezing!
"We..lll.... I was talking to my trousers, and they were so surprised!!! I was too!"
By George.
I forgot to mention that the last traces of babyhood have gone, at the beginning of the month Mako and I decided that teeth wise and other wise, although sort of sad it was time to get rid of the Babu ( pacifier) during the night, and rather unwillingly told her that is was bad for the teeth and better try and do without if she could. It's uncanny the way she thought it over, looked at the afore mentioned object and said "OK, bye bye Babu, I'm just not a baby anymore" and gave it up that very night. I still look at some discarded ones that come out behind beds with a trace of sorrow, kids grow up so very quickly, especially some of them.
She and Leo respectively ( this was hers ) came up with ideas of how to scare away the ghosts during the night, made drawings and put them up on their walls next to their beds. Apparently these are the happy smiling ghosts ( in Nea's case with necklaces) that keep the bad ones away.
I know that there is not much on Leo but we spend so much time just "getting work done" that the rest dwindles somehow, he just flonked out at 7pm yesterday and slept till 7 this morning, that sort of thing never used to happen.
She loved this, it almost ever gets used
I asked Leo whether he would like to go to Symphony orchestra at the Disney hall (It's spectacular apparently and I've never been ) for 21 dollars tomorrow morning, arts and crafts and all instrument playing included-but I was declined with an unwilling shrug. Apparently they had Jazz players at school today (Mr Glickman) and had a GRAND time, during the rain he just wants to stay at home in the morning and roll. I understand. Oh well, next time.
(in the second one Leo looks as if he7s ..... wait, Vens will think of that one for me I haven't got the time or wit)
Oh and the news was that he passed one of his exams, but the "bad"?? was that they had an alarm at school; in the middle of a test! (WOW!) -intruder alarm, and they all went on their faces and the teacher told them not to move or talk or someone might shoot from out of the classroom. It wasn't a drill apparently and it seemed to leave a deep impact, he was quite scared and apparently even the teacher was down on all fours crawling around. Who the mystery squirrel was who set off the alarm, I have yet to find out. IN any case I bet he's going to be dreaming about it tonight.
As Nea would say, Hash to go.
XOXOXOXO Pie
