wanted to use from the sublime to the ridiculous, but I think I’ve used it before.

Small has a fan club. I rang the school today to sort out some admin issues, and spent several minutes being told how wonderful my second offspring is, first by the principal, then by the bursar.

I’ve often worried about him being overshadowed by Big, simply because she is bigger, more verbal, and generally a pretty out there girl. Now I get to worry that she’s going to be overlooked because of him! 😉

Actually no, I think they’ll both do fine, but it was surprising to hear how enthusiastic all these ppl are about him. One of the comments that struck home was when I said something about him not speaking, and how that sometimes misleads ppl – the bursar said “he does speak, he just uses a different language”. Pretty accurate – apparently he has no difficulty at all in making himself understood. I’ll take a small amount of the credit there, as even though his signing isn’t always accurate, and none of the staff there actually know signing, knowing that that is what he was doing gave them the common ground.

So I have two very happy children, and we really appear to have landed on our feet as far as that school is concerned.

And the ridiculous? My amazingly intelligent wunderkind did very unpleasant things in the bath. Oh well. At least it’s been disinfected. Again.

😆

One more day at work, then ridiculously busy weekend, even though we aren’t partying. I’ve been invited out to the pub tomorrow lunchtime with the blokes, and I got invited to walk into town with the women as well…not quite sure how come this happened, as generally speaking men and women don’t seem to mix in my office. Odd!
