Reading the thesaurus as a bedtime story pays off

on May 05 in General by

One of the ladies that works in Amy’s nursery lives on our row of houses. This morning she was leaving the house at the same time that we were so I offered her a lift. Amy was delighted that Ellen was in the car, and once she gotten out she pointed proudly at the front seat and proclaimed “Ellen sat there!” I imagine the merging of two worlds, which as until now had been quite separate, was quite an event for her.

We should have walked to the nursery really, it is a lovely day and its only half a mile away. I had to take the car however in order to leave the car seat there as Megan is picking her up this afternoon and taking Amy to her house to sleep. I’m working until 11pm and Kerry is going to the Take That reunion concert (the less said about that from me the better).

On the journey down Ellen was telling me that Amy had one of the best vocabularies in her group and they were often surprised at what words she came out with. This obviously did wonders for the competitive parent in me. Unfortunately we missed the only parents evening we’ve been invited to as we were on holiday in China (see how I just slipped that in there), so it was nice to get a bit of feedback about how she is developing.

I’ve spent all morning scrubbing the algae off the front patio and now have to start thinking about getting a shower and going to work. Ah well, at least I’m not going to a bloody Take That concert.
