Dragged myself out of bed before 9 this morning and managed paperwork, washing, washing up and a bit of yelling before we went off shopping. Was due to pop into my friend Sarah’s shop* to pick up some trousers (new clothes for mummy – dd was quite shocked!) and managed that, as well as a bit of a wander round the flea market and town in general. Got one bargain in the charity shops – a pair of stilts for dd. She was thrilled with them – to the extent that she carried them back to the car without complaining once!
We were actually on time for her ballet lesson, which has got to be a first. She went in without even looking back today. Poor Small was a bit put out as I wouldn’t let him crawl off down the hall, but chasing him around must have tired him out reasonably well as he’s (whisper) asleep in bed just now!
Got back from ballet and dd rushed off into the garden to try out her stilts. She can manage them fine, which surprised me – she’d tried out a friends (albeit of a slightly different design) a week or so back, and couldn’t walk a step. Strange. So I think today we’ve done lots of physical education, with a bit of real life in there too, and we’ve managed without quite so many tantrums, so that has to be a plus.
Got plans for tomorrow – bit more socialising, with some more phys ed thrown in, so here’s hoping we’re on a roll.
* have just added link to Sarah’s blog to my blog links – please feel free to pop by and say hello!

Don’t forget the top and the balloon!! Or did you manage to lose it before you got home?
Nope, we still have the balloon, i think. Can’t see it from here. Didn’t forget the top, but the trousers were what I was focussed on…
