Pidge - we went for a walk around Kew on Sunday and saw a house with a blue plaque where Pissaro lived for a bit. It didn't say how long, perhaps overnight, just enough to get a blue plaque and increase houseprices in the area. There was some other artists' house nearby (famous but i forgot who) - these poor artists, eh?
We made a photo collage of us and Dominic and Sylvia loves pointing at it and giggling madly.
Leo - I don't know why but I thought Niklas was much bigger. Must have been my preconceived ideas about the size of boys. I think Sylvia is at about 9 kg, so not that much smaller. She just seems tiny, especially at bath time. Some clothes are getting small, so she must be growing.
I haven't thought about presents yet for Sylvia's 1st. Probably a token toy. I'm sure I'll get her some clothes too, although the wardrobe is heaving. I received loads from my sister's two daughters and a couple of other people. I keep saying I won't be buying more myself but I love shopping for her. I love buying tights.
I'll try and get ready to go to the library, there's a stroytime session at 2.15.
Leo - your Mondays with your friend sound nice. I have a friend who lives v close by (one stop on the train) and she has a 7 month old. We'd planned to spend so much time together but she's a first-time mum and doesn't get out of bed before 11. By that time we've spent half of our day and I'm already half-way through things, so it never seems like the right time to call and make arrangements. Plus I have to be back by 3.20 to pick up Dominic from school.
Have a nice day everyone, especially the birthday girl and boy.
