Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

Glamp Lamp
Looks gorgeous, right? Butter wouldn’t melt? Wrong. She has just handed me the biggest bogie ever to have graced this house, wearing exactly this expression. Stay alert, people. And beware 5 year olds bearing gifts.

Alternative post title: MY BRILLIANT BABY My brilliant child slept until 7am this morning. She has been ‘sleeping through’ for a little while now, by which I mean not waking in the night but waking for the day at any time between 5am (horrible, just horrible) and 6.15am (barely sociable but acceptable).
