My lovely girls

Hannah has finally started making conversation and its coming on all of a sudden like i knew it would.  If you ask her a question now she babbles back at you like she really has something to say about it and is very vocal, her voice is almost exactly the same as Emily's too which gets confusing hehe

 She says Yes, No, Garga (Grandad) Dog and Bubye and hums love you and she loves giving kisses and hugs whenever we leave somewhere, she purses her little lips up into a tight little pucker and give you a lovely kiss on the lips. She loves singing along to Old McDonald and How Much is That Doggy and when its her turn to bark she makes a funny little noisy grunt more like a pig heh

 She is a cheeky rascal and loves to climb, she is very capable too! She is really sturdy on her feet and her balance it brilliant, she bombs about and i dont need to worry about her at all.  She ADORES her big sister, absolubtly idolises her and  wants to copy everything she does and often comes up to her just to stroke her face, pat her on the head and give her a kiss.

 Emily and Hannah are so close and although Emily gets a little bit tired of Hannah at times she is totally unselfish with her things providing Hannah is careful and she loves giving Hannah her old toys which i always make sure is her decision, she never lets me down. 

Emily loves to dress the same as Hannah, if Hannah has a dress on she will nag for one too. Emily hates wearing clothes in general but knikers and socks are by far her least favorite, any opportunity arises the socks are off and she usually takes her trips to the toilet as an opportunity to loose her knickers too hehe

Emily is such a beautifull person, so caring and loving and thoughfull, she is always telling me how much she loves me and what a good Mummy i am. She is always drawing me lovely pictures and making me cards.  We play the "i love you more than.." game which is mega sweet. 

She has an amazing thirst for knowledge and is always asking me questions from "why are butterflys called butterflys?" to "How do babies get out of mummys tummys?"  I always make sure i answer her as honestly as possible and if i dont know the answer i will find it for her.  She teaches me tonnes of things i didnt even know like that farmers used to mark their sheep with coal to tell whos was whos and that sweeping brush bristles are coconut hair!

Suprise!

After work today me and Mum were trying to decide what to do with the day and Mum suggested taking the girls to Cheeky Mokeys as its a long time since we have been.  The last time we went Hannah was just comfortably walking holding onto something like a pram so now she is very steady on her feet it sounded like a good idea.

Emily was trying to ear wig in on the conversation and asked where we was going so i told her it was a suprise and she would have to wait and see.  Her face lit up and then she asked if she could take her socks off and wear just her shoes so i told her she needed her socks on because she might have to take her shoes off where we were going.

On the way there we decided as it is so close to de-tour to Wyndsors World of Shoes first and never even gave it a thought till Emily looked out of the window, visibly slouched and said "Oh Mum is THIS where you brought us for a suprise!?" *Pout*

I quickly answered "Yeah cool huh, we havnt been for ages i thought you would be pleased!", "Im not pleased" more sulks.
It was so funny  the poor kid thought we had brought her to a shoe shop and then i realised what i said before we left home probably added to it saying she needed her socks on incase she needed to take her shoes off heheheh!

She soon cheered up when we explained we were only joking and told her where we was really going :0)

May Day Gala 2011

Today was the May Day Gala at Thornes Park! Emily had so been looking forward to it and had plans to get her face painted, unfortunatly when we arrived it was heaving and the queues were crazy for the face painting so i tried to distract Emily to wait for the queses to go down.  She desperatly wanted to go on a bouncy castle for the first time which she has never fancied before so i let her go for it.  I could tell she wasnt too happy about it when the other kids started piling on, she has never much liked hustle and bustle  so she didnt stay on very long.

 She got really upset about the fact she wanted to goon the bouncy castle but didntlike the kids banging into her so i asked her if she fancied going on a ride with me instead.  I took her on the Twister, i really expected her to hate it and be begging me to get the man to stop but she loved it! The faster it went the louder she squaled with joy!  Poor Ben was trying his best not to squash Emily, the ride went on for ages too his arms must have been killing!

 The best part of the day both Emily and Hannah would agree was runnign about and dancing in the cordoned off area square in between the acts!

By the time we were heading home and the queses had dropped id spent all our money on rides on the twister and the mini waltzers so Emily ended up all upset again as she had her heart set on getting her face done, i felt really bad for her it was the main thign she had wanted out of the day and i really should have made more of an effort to push to the front of the queues :0(
