[Bathsheba]

Good morning girls... Just sent a quick "Good Luck" email to IK... I wonder if she's on her way yet... how about poor little Oscar! Yep, these things happen... I wonder how her DP felt about it? Probably shocking. Had to laugh at the image of Rory kindly washing IKs hair over the sink for her! I can see both sides to the curly hair debate... mine was very curly as a child and hated it... then I grew it long and the weight of it straightened it out to the point that I've lost most of the curl which I am now trying to encourage back. Still, the good thing about straight hair is that you can have a fringe, which I love... I've got a half hearted one now but just love a nice thick fringe... Verity is lucky... she has one... so I can kinda "live it" through her... you do that with your kids: impose your sense of style upon them. That's why Verity has a really eclectic sense of fashion style: when she was younger she loved cardigans and tartan skirts LOL these days at least she steers away from the more tarty styles... anyhow enough about that... I can vaguely recall rory wanting to dress Flynn in OshKosh overalls! LOL I agree, they are very cute but don't send him to day care in them... staff aren't keen on them as they are time consuming and when they are older they are an obstacle to toilet training (the child can't be as independant in them with the tricky buckles)... still they certainly have their place, especially with little boys with no hips... Wade has trouble keeping pants up.

Well I was up at 3am again (couldn't sleep... Niall didn't wake me, dontcha hate that!?) So I cleaned the kitchen that I was too fagged to do last night (yes, slap on the wrist for going to bed without shining my sink!). I also finished off my Christmas Pudding which I started a few days ago but it's been too hot to boil so it's been covered up in the fridge... I wrapped it up in calico last night and started the boiling process... takes 7 hours.

Back later.... Wade is piling everything up in the middle of the loungeroom floor... he says he's making a nest... better go deal... it's getting out of hand.
