It's been a long week.

Long hours, lots of driving, evening work, but hey, it’s Friday, I’ve had beer, and I’m about to go to bed and not set an alarm 🙂

Let’s see.

Kids had another great week at school – including the very long day where there was ludicrous traffic both morning and night. Think that was yesterday actually. In fact, Small was so happy being there that he attacked me when I got there to pick him up. Didn’t know whether to laugh or cry tbh. And when I say attacked, I really am referring to a full on physical assault – he scratched my arms quite badly and attempted to bite me as well as headbutting and hitting. Probably not the right response to pick him up and cart him out kicking and screaming, but I’d already done the reasoned explanation bit, and I wasn’t standing for the aggression.

Big has lost another tooth – she’s looking very gappy now as the missing front tooth still hasn’t come through. Beginning to be slightly concerned about that – it was the baby tooth that she had damaged oh so long ago at camp, and I’m wondering whether that damage could have had some effect on the adult tooth as well – the tooth she lost at the bottom afterwards has already been replaced.

They’ve had a quiet day at home with Tim and his new phone (thank you for asking, they are very happy together 😉 ) and I don’t think we have anything specific planned for the weekend, although I’m hoping for a lie in at some point.

And to make the most of it, think I’ll go to bed now 🙂

  1. Don’t be concerned about the tooth, exactly the same happened with Abbie’s dead baby tooth, the adult one took ages to come through afterwards. I think it just fell out prematurely so it seems like a long time before the new one pushes through, iyswim?

  2. if I say pleased to hear that will you understand? 😉 Thanks. I *thought* it was Abbie who’d had a dead tooth too, but wasn’t 100%

  3. My gut feeling would be that what Sarah says makes sense.
    PS – haven’t forgotten about the gameboy but baffled as to where it has gone; hasve seen it every day for months and now i want it, it has gone to ground! maybe it doesn’t want to leave. Currently engaged in a serious hunt for it.

  4. I wonder if Veet Voogajig could help you find it.

  5. Boo had one that took over a year to come down and it wasn’t dead. The dentist said it’s fairly common.

  6. ah yes, the dentist. We missed an appt recently, so I’ve got to pay £19 before I can book another one 🙁

  7. Hm. Oh possibly 21st century borrowers 🙂

  8. Most of Romy’s came through really quickly after the lost one went, but the two either side of the fron top front two took AGES to come through. Was beginning to worry. I think it was about a year!
