come on, we’re nearly there.
Thursday I irresponsibly went out for lunch at the house of someone I’d only met virtually. And I took the children with me! Well, I knew that she was a real person, as a friend of mine (hello Sarah) had met her previously. And I’ve met her on ukp and msn, so it wasn’t that bad, honest. And given that I met dp online and then for the first time at dawn on my doorstep, I wasn’t that worried.
We had lunch – J supplied quiche and I brought chocolate gateau. Dd thoroughly enjoyed playing with someone else’s toys for a change and ds loved all the cars – we’re going to have to get some I think. He’s got a fire engine at home, but it isn’t enough.
Back by about 3pm and we’d missed mother, who had dropped off a lime green fleece hat, scarf and gloves set for dd, actually from her cousin, although dd decided that they had been grandmas first. I’ve got a piccie – I’ll put it up in a bit. Quick turn around and back out for her ballet lesson. Always amazed to see how well she manages with things like dressing herself when you see a room full of other children – I winced to see them just shoving their feet any old how into ballet tights, while dd sits herself down and puts them on carefully. She can be so very precise when she tries.
She was tired by the time we got back from ballet, but we still managed the evening without any major fall outs. She must have been tired as she slept through til 8.45 the following morning, and without any accidents as well. Bonus.
