A quickie

Finally back on line now that the inlaws have left. Need some breathing space before I can write a decent post, especially a celebration of the poo monkey's second birthday which was last week. So please note for now:

1.How many newly turned two year olds will calmly announce to an unknown man in the library that "mummy isn't inspired today" in between loudly declaring the colour of each book on the shelf in front of them, and asking "what's that letter?" to which I cannot provide pronunciation of said letter and an example word quickly enough before said two year old is off jumping up and down and singing all the words to "where is thumbkin?" You are all action, colour and movement, with a complex commentary thrown in for free. No wonder people don't believe me when I say that you've just turned two. And that's not just because you look like you're older in the first place!

2. 21 weeks today, and plenty of movements that can be felt both internally and externally from a healthy happy usurper. Daughter number two seems to be taking it all in her stride.

Now if only there was time for a lie down.
