In the bath

"Daddy! Daddy! Bring the camera!"
"OK..."

Rosie, sitting on Daddy's lap:

"Round and round the garden, like a teddy-bear...
You've got the biggest nose!"

We were in Auntie Wong's back garden today. It appeared safe with the only area of concern being a teeny pond about eighteen inches across. However, 1) Holly fell in it. 2) It was deeper than it was wide and she sank up to her armpits in stagnant water and dead stuff.

Heads

Rosie was asking about bones and things today. She asked what was in her head, so we suggested a skull, her brains, and that it's where her imagination lives. She's a little scientist, perhaps.

Holly had a different observation to make.

"When I hit my head like this, it goes *bonk*!"

"It landed in my pants."

Today was the first day that was warm enough for playing in the garden.

Lovely

Both girls were dressed beautifully this morning - Holly in purple, Rosie in pink - both with little hairclips and ponytails. "Gosh you two look lovely this morning!" Said Daddy.

"That's because we are!"

Carrying myself

"There's a man carrying a baby."
"Yes. That baby can't walk because it is too small."
"The man has to walk because he can't carry himself."
"When I was a baby Mummy carried me in her tummy."
"But when we were born and we were outside of her tummy she carried us with her arms."
"It is very very difficult to carry yourself."
"When I am a big girl - as big as a tree - I will be able to carry myself."
"When fat persons carry themselves, they do break."

Stuff

Home from nursery. Rosie sits on the stairs and says, "Take my shoes off for me because I am a baby and I can't do stuff."
