Thank goodness for agile teenagers

And that title would go straight into moderation, wouldn’t it?

😉

Had Sarah round this morning for bit of a tutorial on google adwords – interesting stuff. Will be writing some material to feature on my own site about it all.

Then this afternoon went up to the Holme Valley to catch up with Jenny and family. Her youngest is the first child that I’ve seen Small just make friends with, so I wanted to grab the chance to get them together while I could, and Big really likes Carys too, so it was win win for them. And nice to spend some time with Jenny as well 🙂

And while there, Small contrived to lock himself into a shower cubicle. He’d done this at Kessingland and I’d managed to persuade him to open it, but not today. He started to get a bit anxious, and I wasn’t sure I could shimmy over the top of the next cubicle, so Jenny rang for assistance and Emma came up to be boosted over. What a star. 🙂

Think I’d better get in training, can see having to do this sort of thing a few times over the next year or so….

  1. Nightmare! Well done Emma. Can just see Fergus and Small as a mischievous pair, actually! Hope the friendship continues 🙂

  2. yes they are very alike in a cute tearaway fashion aren’t they! I would like an Emma too, she managed to keep Tarly awake all the way home from Legoland AND entertain Davies by reading the same four books to him once. And text her Dad on behalf of her mum about dinner 😉 Mind you I would also like a Pea (of Scream Team) who was also excellent at tidying up and minding Tarly yesterday.
    Clearly Merry is onto something having a TT 🙂
    Other than the shower incident it sounds like a nice day, missed Jen & co at group yesterday so nice to hear news on them 🙂

  3. Nic, she is available whenever you need ( she does think she is a PT)!
    Actually Pea did get herself locked in a pub loo once and I had to climb over the top to get her out. She still remembers it even though she was about 2 but is convinced the fireman got her out. Now THAT I would remember!
