"I'm not drawing on the book, Mumma. I'm just stroking it gently with the end of my pen..."

Happy birthday, Granny Heath

Magic

There is nothing quite so magic as feeling your unborn child kick your hand for the first time.

On being slammed

Emma slapped me today, completely out of the blue, with no apparent anger or provocation. She accompanied it with a loud and resounding "Slam!"

When I protested and told her not to hit me, she explained patiently, "I wasn't hitting you Mumma. I was pretending you were a door."

Aye, aye, aye...

Celebrating Mummy

Caroline has won a big award for work and we are in Kelowna (about 5 hours from Vancouver) for the award ceremony. We told Emma that we all need to dress up and be "spiffy" for the banquet tonight.

Emma as a result is in the bath and refuses to get out  - apparently, she needs a "long, long bath" because she's "not spiffy yet."  Hopefully, part of her definition of spiffy is actually getting dressed! :)

Not a good adult

(After lights out.)
Mumma: You're supposed to be sleeping, kiddo.
Emma (shrugging, looking absolutely adorable, with a "what can you do?" attitude): I'm just not a very good adult, Mumma. I'm supposed to sleep but I just want to play.
