Sleeping Cap


Holly, found in bed wearing a dog-shaped showercap.


Swimming


Rosie swam a width today all by herself. Twice. Hoorah!


Our nice school


Holly in Miss Gooch's class



Rosie in Mrs Mujeeb's class


Fish


Rosie described the difference between fish in the sea and fish in your fish fingers. "Fish in your fingers is fellated."


Bottom


Holly has a bit of an infection, resulting in occasional toilet accidents...
Daddy: "You know, when you have a poorly bottom, it is a good idea to try to keep your farts in. Because when you are poorly sometimes your farts get mixed up with your poo and it all comes out at once. By mistake."
Holly: "So you mean I need to try to button up my bottom..?"
Daddy: "Absolutely."
Holly: "It's just... sometimes... my poo needs to come out so desperately that it bursts the buttons on my bottom."


Performances


We have had speaking parts in various places this week... Rosie had to say "We have dressed in traditional Indian clothes." Holly had to say "We are using sugar, water, and milk powder." Daddy had to say "Ladies and Gentlemen, will you please be upstanding for the Bride and Groom", and Mummy had to go to Exeter to give an hour long presentation on why she is fantastic to a bunch of professors and doctors.


Numbers


Rosie was counting creatively today. "2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5, 8, 7, 10, 9." Daddy thinks this is extraordinarily clever.


Philosophy of Language


Rosie: "You know dogs. They hear human people going 'ruff, ruff ruff' but they do hear themselves speaking like 'oh yes. Very much. Thank you.' And people when they hear dogs they hear the dogs going 'ruff ruff' but they hear themselves saying like ordinary speaking."
