parrots

You know how Iz is mad on animals? Well the latest is parrots. It first became apparent when I caught her staring into her bowl of cereal. " What's the matter Izzie?" I asked "Nothing, I'm not crying" she said. "But what are you thinking about?" A long pause then "I'm just thinking about parrots".

Why parrots? Don't know.

And then a week later I met up with a friend and she told me about how she was producing a Cole Porter review for the up coming Art Deco Fest. She left me with Cole Porter stuck in my head. I drove Izzie around the block singing "I love Paris in the Springtime, I love Paris in the Fall". I sang the whole number at full volumn. When I was done there was another dramatic pause then Izzie piped up from the back seat.

"I love parrots too mummy" she said.

Big boy Bax

Did i tell you about those first two days with Billie home? We got up late and lay about and didn't do many chores. Well, both mornings Bax went down to the kitchen and made us toast and brought it up to us in bed.

He's so grown up and thougthful sometimes.

Then the other day G and I were doing some very complicated sums and Bill was crying and i was muttering that I really should put her to bed and then without saying anything Bax picked Bill up and disappeared with her. Later I found he had carried her all the way up stairs and put her to bed, pulling the covers up neatly and everything.

Then on Friday we went to a birthday tea (just me and the kids) and I was pooped and Bill woke up. well Bax just went to where she was sleeping down the hall at our friends place and picked her up and brought her to me!

He is a great help!
