home again

we've been away from home for three weeks
holidaying
visiting
youth camping.
It's been nice to get a way and be busy
but
it's so nice to be home.

I've got piles of washing to clean,
sticks to sweep off the balcony,
rooms to tidy
and a little girl to cuddle.

We three. Home again.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

When we were staying at my parents place, I spotted a little fox doing a dance.

She was a merry little fox who liked the sound of a violin,

the beat of the drum (pots and pans),

and the taste of chicken (curry).

Coat by granny. Idea from here.

tea for the tillerman

We have all had bouts of the snotty in the last few weeks.
Luckily it seems to hit one of us at a time so we can play nurse.
When it hit Myl I made him a special cup of tea with
honey
lemon &
ginger.
It worked a treat and was tasty too.

We've been cuddling the little one, using vicks on a tissue, sleeping in and keeping warm.
Being sick would be lovely if it weren't for the sick part.

How do you get rid of a cold and flu?

Fifteen months

It's been a little while since I've done one of these. This little one just keeps on getting less little. 

My little girl is fifteen months old.

So here's where it's at.

Lucy likes
- walking forwards and backwards and doing a funny little dance/run.
- stickers
- pushing her baby in the stroller. Usually upside down.
- being outside. Even when it's super chilly.
- animal noises. His kid knows them all.
- porridge for breakfast with sultanas and honey.
- dancing to folk music or anything with a beat.
- 1,2,3 wheeeee!
- saying wheeeeeee! And uh-oh.
- books all day long.
- pulling adult hands along to where she wants them.

Lucy doesn't like

- disposable nappies.
- being alone
- not having the right words to say.
- strangers... For the first five minutes.
- brushing teeth.

She is a sweet funny little thing learning new words every day and learning to assert her independence. I love her very much.
