Educating Mum!

Well this morning Emily was watching me straighten my hair in the bedroom and happened upon a plastic lid she found on the floor (yes my bedroom is a hole) she said "hmm what bottle does this go on mummy?" i didnt recognise it so i explained it was probably from something i had already used up and she could put it in the bin.
When she got to the bin in my room she threw in the lid then picked out an old empty bottle of her bubblebath. "Mum that doesnt go in here! not in this bin.." i wondeered if she expected it should go in the bathroom bin so i asked her why. Then she said "Mum its Incycling! it goes in the incycling box!"
Crikey that told me eh hahahah

Potty Training

Well there has been the odd occation Emily has managed to tell me she needs the toilet and make it to the potty but today she has had a great breakthrough
She has had big girls pants on all day and has been to the potty 4 times and is still dry!
Fingers crossed ........

She went all day! I think in total she has probably had 9 wee's on the potty today ranging from tinkles to full potty.
Iv just explained to her its probably best to have a nappy on at bedtime just incase but if she can do a few days in a row like this i think i will be chancing the plastic undersheet on her bed and waking her for the toilet a few times through the evening.

Peanut in the oven

Haven Camping!

Me Steve and Emily went on our first proper family camping holiday to Haven Blue Dolphin for 4 days and had a fantastic time, even though the weather man had us written off we had 4 glorious days of sunshine and the only rain we saw was a bit of spitting as we were packing up to go home.


Emily was brilliant the whole holiday i dont know where she got the energy from, she didnt stop from opening her eyes in the morning to falling into bed at night, She loves the clubhouse with Rory the Tiger and Bradley Bear, we even took advantage of the swimming pool.

She got really upset when it was time to pack the car and come home, she really didnt want to and fell asleep in the back of the car soon after we set off home and didnt open them again till we pulled up on the drive, she was mortified when she realised where we were, poor little thing!

Paulines Wedding

Today we all went to my gorgeous cousin Paulines wedding, it was so lovely to see the Campbell side of the family at a happy event instead of a funeral!
Emily was good as gold all day and look absolubtly gorgeous, she got a little bit restless during the ceremony but Auntie Rie had allsorts of wierd and wonderfull goodies in her handbag to keep her entertained



The photographer also took a shine to her while we were waiting for the group photo and my cousin later sent me a copy of one of the pictures that had come back

Heehee

While sitting in the garden yesterday Emily was talking to something on the floor, i had a glance and saw it was an Ant, "Hello you.." she says to it, bless.
I said "what you got there honey?"
She looked at me dead serious and said "Its an Antique".

MayDay Gala

We took Emily to the May Day Gala today in the park.

Unlike last years scorching hot day today started off terrible and i thought it was going to be a day stuck in the house but the rain stopped long enough for us to go and have a nosy and im glad we did! We really enjoyed the Gala and Emily had great fun.

She had a ride on a donkey called Lucy and loved it, unlike her previous goes where it felt more like torture than a treat.
We also risked getting her face painted although i didnt expect too much, maybe a small flower on her cheek if she sat still long enough but to my suprise she sat as still as a statue and let the lady do a lovely butterfly round her eyes with added glitter.

She also got to see some birds of prey, very close up and a clown riding a tiny bike and the majorettes and a sheep dog rounding up some geese.
We then had an evening of finger painting and glueing bits of paper so all in all she had a wonderful day.
Iv just put her to bed and can still hear her on the baby monitor telling Softy her teddy bear all about it!
