Sunday. Everyone bathed in relay. Playing cafes with a long line of teddy bear customers requesting cappuccinos and chocolate cake whilst Holly and Alfie rush around preparing it all . Wooden train set. Reading books. Basmati all-you-can-eat Indian buffet. Autumn walk through Merrions Wood. Boys watching Shrek 3, girls doing chores (cleaning toilet, glass cleaning table, washing nappies, sorting clothes, “autumn” cleaning and sorting) and playing cafes and train tracks and doing all the activities in the ITNG magazine.

Oh, and some gems from H today. To Daddy in bath – “Daddy got beard on tummy” To Mommy – “Mommy got beard on chin.” (!!!!!) We also have constant “bear eat Holly!” fears, which change if any other animal is near (eg “ladybird eat Holly up”, “donkey eat Holly up”). Too many to remember, but so precious and soon forgotten.
