Holly and Rosie's Stuff: September 2005

Flirt

Published Monday, September 26, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Rosie was flirting with an older boy at Daniel and Penny's house yesterday. She climbed up on the sofa, looked him squarely in the eye and said,

"Hello. It's lovely sitting on this sofa isn't it..?"

Boy: "Yes. Er..."

[Slightly uncomfortable silence.]

Rosie: "... I can do my own shoes!"

Cheese

From a text message from Babs following a lovely day on their narrowboat:
"...Hope Holly got the cheese out of her minnymo..."

Narrowboating

We visited Babs and Jooley on their narrowboat and had a fantastic time.

Sleeping Beauty

Holly: Sleeping Beauty went to sleep for a lot of years, and all roses grew up around the palace. And then the Prince came on his horse and he did chop down the roses with his sword.

Daddy: Ooh. Why did he do that?

Holly: Because he wanted it.

Careful

"Holly, how do you keep managing to make so much mess?"
"Because I am not being careful."

Gymnastics

Published Monday, September 12, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

We had our first gymnastics lesson today after school. Despite falling asleep in the car between school and nursery, we did very well. Holly and Rosie both concentrated and did what they were told, weren't shy, and had a lovely time. Holly in particular was paying close attention.
