I don’t usually talk about my birthday but I thought this deserves a special mention. Because I was working today (and because Daddy does things at the last minute) we decided that tomorrow would be more of a celebratory day. When I arrived home the R’s were awake and still full of Happy Birthdays but very tired to the point of hysterically irrational. After I’d calmed them down and read them a bed time story Ms R told me she had some birthday money for me and asked if she should give it to me now or wait until the morning. My head was spinning wondering who it might have been from so I said I’d like it now please and she pointed to a pile of coins on my bedside table. She had counted it out of all the money she had saved (from picking mine and Daddys pockets!). She had even given me her one silver coin because she knew that it was half a pound and she had tried to make the money up to a pound. She said I had to have birthday money on my birthday.
In other news.
Master R is not wearing nappies at night and I’ve not needed to change the sheets for three whole days. I’m hoping this is it because as far as he’s concerned he doesn’t need them anymore. He has also got the hang of using the mouse on the computer. He played a very easy game on Cbeebies and after I got fed up of restarting it every few minutes I tried directing him from afar and he can do it.
Ms R can now skip using a skipping rope, it’s been something she’s wanted to be able to do since joining Rainbows. She played on Education City for a while and has just about completed all of the Year one science. She enjoys playing it but the questions are slow coming and I think she gets bored waiting for each one as there’s a lot of unnecessary animation surrounding each one.
Sadly one of the goldfish is dying. I’m not sure why and I’m hoping for a miracle through the night so we don’t have to spend tomorrow grieving. It’s all sort of bent and floating around the bottom but is opening it’s mouth and gills so I guess there’s still hope. I feel a bit useless, I can neither put it out of it’s misery or do anything to make it better.
Buzz has just come in dripping wet all over, I looked outside and it’s definately not been raining so maybe she’s found the source of the frogs. She’s also hardly using the litter tray now which is nice. I think she’s just passed six months.
