Holly and Rosie's Stuff: January 2005

Pants!

Published Sunday, January 30, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Mummy and monkeys came back from the shops today with NEW PANTS! Yellow pants at that so we are particularly excited about them. We immediately had to shed our nappies and don the pants. However Holly is absolutely shitting herself about... Sorry, I can't carry that gag through.

...Holly is absolutely petrified of potentially having an accident in the new pants so is just bouncing from potty to loo to potty without ever actually pulling them up and getting on with her life.

Rosie just keeps touching hers to check they are still there.

Rosie's social functioning

Published Friday, January 28, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Rosie was part of a twin study today - some kind of assessment. (Holly was last week). The investigator was asking lots of questions, one of which was:

"What do you do if you wake up and there's a fire in your house?"
"I would tell Daddy... and he would put the dragons outside and tell them off."

Birds

Holly, while Daddy was changing a nappy:
"I think birds have got thumbs and fingers on their wings. So they can hold things."

Time Team

Rosie and Daddy were watching Time Team today. They were doing a lot of digging. Rosie: "That man needs to wash his hands before he has his supper."

The End of The Pox

Holly went back to nursery today so we are officially free from pox.

Holly's Chickenpox

We are not especially happy with all this. Smiles in these pictures are testimony to the glory of paediatric Nurofen.

Thanks to Sue and Steve for our glorious cushions.

Growing Up

Published Thursday, January 13, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Holly was thinking ahead to adulthood today. "When I grow up, I can sit in the front seat; and when Mummy gets smaller she will have to sit in the car-seat."

Pox

Holly has chickenpox now. She sees it merely in terms of equality however. When Rosie was off we discovered Morden Hall Park and Poohsticks. "Now Rosie has to go to nursery and I stay with Daddy. So can I go to a new place today?"

Shampoo

Published Wednesday, January 12, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Today Daddy was washing his hair.

Holly: "Why are you glueing your head?"
Daddy: "This isn't glue. It is special hair soap called shampoo"
Rosie: "NAH! Poo is for BUMS!"

Candle Floss

Published Sunday, January 09, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Today we woke up Daddy by making him imaginary "Candle-Floss".

Delerious

Published Thursday, January 06, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Today Rosie had a long conversation with her left hand. They were arguing about who was the beautiful princess. Ultimately Rosie won with the devastating blow of "You're NOT the princess because you are a HAND!"

Stuck

Published Monday, January 03, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Knock... Knock... Knock...
"What is it darling?"
"Daddy?"
"I'm in the loo sweetheart."
Knock knock knock...
"I'm in the LOO. What do you want?"
"The Queen is stuck."
Door opens, revealing Holly in pink fairy outfit with a bead necklace jammed around her ribcage.

Chickenpox

Happy New Year Rosie! You have chickenpox. Nice and spotty, but generally very happy.

January 5th update: Still happy. Still spotty...

Those

Gill and David visited us at Nana and Bob-Bob's today. When they arrived Holly was unimpressed:

"I don't love those."
