Mummy will be forty tomorrow. This morning Rosie played Round And Round The Garden with her and tickled her "right on the chicken-neck"...

WAAH!

Today Holly and Rosie and Daddy were in St George's Medical School returning a book. At the shop, we saw a skeleton in the window and started talking about it. Suddenly it lunged forwards at us! Somebody had bumped into it, and made us leap out of our skins!

Not racist

Published Thursday, September 07, 2006 by Jim Cromwell.

Holly is not one to make assumptions about somebody's cultural heritage from something as immaterial as their name: "Spongebob Squarepants is a CHEESE!"

First day in Reception

Published Wednesday, September 06, 2006 by Jim Cromwell.

Today was our first day at Furzedown Primary School. Mummy took Rosie into Mrs Mujeeb and Mrs Tweedley's class, and Daddy took Holly into Miss Gooch and Mrs Shackleton's class. We were both a teeny bit subdued at first, but quickly started playing with the activities and didn't make any sort of fuss when Mummy and Daddy had to go.

Disaster Play

Published Tuesday, September 05, 2006 by Jim Cromwell.

Holly has taken to imagining dramatic scenarios in her play: "Have you noticed? Best friend... My Mummy and Daddy both died and my house blowed down, and now I live in a cave with my dog and my monkey."
