All Good Things

Grandma is doing much better. Last time I spoke to Mom she was out of the hospital, had started eating and was keeping her food down. Hopefully she's out of the woods now.

Rosie has two pearly little teeth poking through her lower gums. She's also started making consonant sounds so we get a lot of 'bababba', 'gagagaga', mamammama'.

Toby gets more precocious by the day. The other morning I was trying to get us out of the house but Tobes didn't want to go out. I said, "Tobes, come on. Mama needs coffee and fresh air." Toby looked at me and said "Then open a window and make some in the kitchen."

We're off to Disney in a week! Today we bought bathing suits, sun cream, aloe vera and a first aid kit. I'll probably start packing this weekend. You can never be too organised.

Nikki arrives on 1 July for two whole months! So excited. We're still trying to get the spare room painted and cleared out for her. It's going to be so great to have her around for the summer. I've been organising my little heinie off looking into activities in London this summer. Can't wait!

AND, I was buying a metal scraper at B&Q today for some DIY work in the flat. There are strict laws about selling anything that could be used as a weapon to anyone underage. As I was packing the bags the cashier turned, looked at me and said 'Are you over 21?" I could have kissed her.

And the countdown begins!! I just realized the other day I need to buy another suitcase. There's no way I'm fitting 2 months of stuff in just one. Plus, we have to do the traditional "fill 1/2 a suitcase with stuff you want from the U.S., so i can bring back 1/2 a suitcase of stuff from there." let me know how many boxes of PopTarts and Kraft Mac and Cheese you want :)
