Useful trip to the library this aft – got dd a dvd (Barbie Rapunzel *how* pink??) and chatted with the librarian about good books for starting reading. Have noticed that dd is no longer getting books out to read with us, but is thoroughly enjoying chapter books at bedtime, so I wondered if the gulf between the early picture books and things like Faraway tree, Mrs Pepperpot and the Mennyms was just too great.

Dd also drew a picture while I was having my physio appt – her as a baby, with me, and I have ds in my tummy. Good grasp of the timeline methinks!
