Circus Oz

Published Saturday, July 30, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

We went to see Circus Oz today. Everyone had a really brilliant time and we have to thank Elspeth for being so splendid as to give us five tickets this morning.

Rosie's Balloon

Rosie's balloon had gone down after a few days, so she remarked to Holly that "Now there is only one balloon, because mine has unblowed."

The Sofa

Holly just mooched into the kitchen.
  • Daddy... The sofa just did a terrible thing.
  • What was that, Lovey?
  • It did let me go over the arm of it.

Rosie's catchphrases

Published by Jim Cromwell.

Rosie has developed a little collection of catchphrases from nursery:

1) You're doin' my 'ead in! (Grrr.)
2) D'you know what...?
3) I'll be... back in a snap!

We spent most of this morning opening all the lovely presents we were given yesterday.

Thank you everybody!

Birthday Party!

Published Saturday, July 16, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

We had our first proper birthday party and it was FAB!

We had a bouncy castle, and ball pool, and games, and dancing, and all our friends.

And Daddy is tired, so he's off to bed. :O)

School, biting, and being sad...

Published Thursday, July 14, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

We start school in September. Streatham and Clapham High - 'Little Trees'. We can't stop talking about it, and about being Big Girls, but Holly recently admitted to feeling frightened of her new school. When they had a trial morning a few months ago, they had a drink and chocolate biscuit (which Holly remembers as lunch). But she does not like chocolate biscuits really and is worried that she'll have to eat them. Probably every day.

Also, and probably related, Holly has had a couple of weeks of biting other children at nursery. When we sat with her recently to talk about it, we said "Who did you bite today?" To which she replied "Not Gabby." She still misses Gabby, and we suspect that she is being left out by other children, including possibly Rosie. One of her favourite nursery nurses leaves soon as well.

Yesterday she managed to be nice, and enjoy herself, all day and was consequently rewarded with a pair of enormous knickers with princesses on.
