The first bit of the video is us trying to capture the way Alice says home, it is so funny. When we're out anywhere and going home, and we say "are we going home" etc, she purses her lips this. After dinner every night she has a bath as part of her bedtime routine. This is what we get most nights when she's finished dinner. This is her saying bath.
Then we had a wee visitor yesterday. I think it's building a nest below our back step. Not sure that's good news, but Stuart was very excited when he got home from work and wanted to see it. Alas, it didn't comply. So he had to make do with this video. Alice thought it was hilarious and every now and again she would squeal with delight as it scurried past. Come to think of it haven't seen the rabbit this week.
We also started a mothers and toddlers' group at our church yesterday. It was great fun, although Alice didn't enjoy it too much initially, as every time we go to church I leave her in a creche of some sort. I think she realised I was staying with her this time and settled and played on the slide (her favourite). The group is so well organised. We had general play things, a story time, juice and biscuits time (although we don't give Alice either), sticky time and then general play doughing and painting etc. We missed the singing at the end, as we had to go and catch the metro to be home for Alice's nap. It was really busy and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves.
You can't really see, but this is Jenny, Alice's lovey thingy. It's a giraffe and we called it Jenny. She calls it "deddy". When she's not walking around with Ellie the Elephant (the white one in the pretty face post) she's walking around with Jenny. Jenny also goes to bed with her and every now and again with lie on the floor with her and give her a snuggly cuddle.
See she's not tantruming all the time.

Ah she's so funny! Tom wont speak yet, still just saying da da and blabbering but it makes no sense. If you say "isnt that a pip" (night garden) he tries to say pip but its more like puh puh puh.Ah well, it will come in time. I find boys lazier than girls, health visitor said some boys dont talk til theyre 18-24 months.
But whats funny is, when you post Alice doing something he does it a week or two later. for example, walking backwards, headstands and getting up and down of chairs and the bed. You would think he was reading your blog!
Love the way she does the "home" thing. She´s a wee charmer.
It´s great you can put video´s like this on the blog. Does your mum and dad and Stuarts mum and dad check out this blog?
I wish this had off been around when my kids were small, it´s much easier doing this than making a video then having to play it unto a big video tape and posting it home. Thats what we used to do. How times have changed!
Lisa, that's really funny that Tom does things slightly after Alice, as if reading the blog. I reckon they get up to all sorts in the middle of the night anyway. I have heard that boys can speak anywhere from 18 months to 3 years. I guess, like everything, it's just about being patient.
It is great to be able to put video on the blogs now. Stuart's parents look at the blog (Hiya!!) but mine don't have access to the internet. So we send wee DVDs every now and again. The rest of the family has internet access too and so can keep up with her progress. Hi to all the sisters out there.
It is important when you live so far away from family to be able to keep them involved.
