Bonnet?

I knitted Ira a little red bonnet. Andy says she isn't allowed to wear it as it makes her look...well...a bit 'special'. I think it looks cute. Am I wrong?

Party season

Autumn is definitely party season. We have already been to two princess parties and a disco. There are two more parties in the diary, and of course my birthday still to come this month.

Gymnastics

Although Kitty really liked doing ballet, we found it a bit full on with the shows and rehearsals and everything, so we are trying gymnastics. She took part in a taster session in the summer holidays and REALLY enjoyed it - especially the trampoline, so we put her name on the waiting list and...well...waited. Last week, we finally got the call to say she had a place in the club. So far so good. She had a really good time and quite a workout too, so hopefully this will be much better for her.

Bedtime reading

Cute.

Our girls

Our girls are really starting to enjoy playing with each other now.  I love it. Ira adores Kitty, listens to and laughs at everything she says and does. Kitty loves the attention and delights in being the big sister whose job it is to teach Ira everything.

Autumn thoughts

It's been a good summer, but now Autumn has truly set in. Kitty is back at school, Ira is booked in for a few taster sessions at nursery and I have turned to thinking about my inevitable return to work in the New Year.

Cheap carrot man

As part of my penny pinching efforts I bought a bargain bag of 'all shapes and sizes' carrots rather than the nice organic ones I normally get. Kitty thought they were great and couldn't wait to make a carrot man out of the one she found with legs.
