Chores

Alice and I made some play dough about a month ago. She sat on my "big" chair, while I had to sit on her wee chair!!! She decided that she needed to bake the play dough in her oven.


Alice frequently has tea parties, normally she has a whole host of her "best friends" in a circle on the floor.

As you will know (if you follow the blog) Fraser bear is, of course, her bestest friend.

Alice can now get into her car seat on her own (can't strap herself in, thankfully), however, she did need to stand on the back seat beside her car seat and then climb in. She did this whether her shoes were muddy or not. So it was time we gave the car a good clean. Alice really enjoyed it, particularly when it came to squeezing the water over Stuart and me.

There are websites out there to teach children how to use a mouse on the computer. You start very basically and just learn to move the mouse onto things. Then moving the mouse and clicking etc. Alice enjoyed playing this game and there were different varieties of it too. We have set up a different area of the computer for Alice. So when she clicks on things, she can't change any settings or lose photographs etc. Of course, now that she knows how to use the mouse, I watched her change user the other week!!!! So, I think the next stage is putting a password on ours, so she can't get into it. Really didn't think we would have to do that this early!!!!!!

THE engagement ring

Told you it was tacky (see previous post). It looks gold there, but was "silver", cost about £1. Honestly my friend's face was a picture when she thought this was the real one.

Also the video of Alice singing, most of you will recognise Twinkle Twinkle, but some of you may not know Mousey Brown. It's a really sweet and yet odd song about a mouse climbing to the top of a candlestick and being stuck there, he calls for his grandma to help, but she's in town (??!!!!), so he curls into a little ball and rolls right down. I now have her saying this as my mobile's ring tone!!!
