I get bored with my usual titles, so here I am being a bit more obscure!

Em woke at 6am this morning (she has been rising around 6 for at least a week now - never been affected by early mornings before AND she has blackout blinds) but she went back to bed until Sophie had given up feeding and wanted to play at 6.20, when I went and asked her if she wanted to crawl in with the rest of us for a change. I know she loves it, but she doesnt often get a chance these days. I dont like early mornings - 7am has always been normal with both of mine. Roll on the dark mornings of Autumn!

Both girls had fun during singing at church this morning, dancing around at the front, which is allowed/tolerated/enjoyed depending on who you talk to. At one point Em sat down on the edge of the stage and Soph decided to sit next to her. Then Soph decided to roll onto her back with her legs in the air. So Em copied her! Somehow it looks much cuter on a 19 month old. Em is all legs!

It rained ALL day - we've had about an inch now (25mm). So in the afternoon, with Soph having skipped her nap, we went off too the local leisure centre to use their pool. Soph got tired and cold quickly, but stopped being grumpy while we were in the water. Em had a great time. Dont know what her eczema'ry skin will think to it. Oh well. She's hoping to go most days during this half term week. We'll see! The only thing that went wrong was me - getting out of the baby-pool up the shallow steps I stumbled and as I fell my knee scaped along the step so I got a very bruised knee with a long cut on it. My knees are over-sensitive and tend to over-react to knocks, so I sat in the pool in agony for about a minute while Soph crawled off towards another baby who had a ball. The thought in my head was as follows "well, the baby has her mummy with her, so if anything happens to Sophie, she'll rescue her, as I cant move right now!" Thankfully she was fine! My knee just doesnt want to bend right now, and I have one of Em's plasters on it. She gets through a LOT of plasters due to having more speed than skill in the school playground!

Well, DH is feeling neglected, so I'd better go see to him now! Ow, hop, hop, hop!
