Just a quickie as we didn’t do much yesterday and we’re on the way out for the day today. Still sleep deprived and tearful – ds seems to be improving, but for the last two nights dd has had accidents, meaning I’ve to get up and bed change. Dp apologised profusely – she had been in and woken him up, and he didn’t realise why and sent her back to bed – so she came to get me to change the bed instead. Aargh….
Anyway, wanted to make a note about vocabulary. As we were getting into the car yesterday, dd said “Agenda”. So I said, “yes, it’s a word, darling” (I know, but when I’m this tired….). So she replied, “No, I mean, what’s the plan for today?” Guess she knows what ‘agenda’ means then!
Caught an old episode of COOT last night on one of the other BBC channels – came to the conclusion that might be the best way to watch it – several years out of step! Anyway, they were doing a baby IQ test, which was fascinating. Reminded me though that experiments are never completely objective – they were testing who was the best at various things, but it all depended on whether the children were interested in the fake cheerful tones of the experimenter and the odd toys that they were using. Whether they would play the game in other words.
Feeling very cynical today – does it show?
