A couple of things that made me smile today...

'Baby Giraffe' said a word very soon after the first time he heard it. Usually it takes a very long time to drum it into him, and even then, he only says the first syllable! Like Baa is meant to be 'Barney' and it's 'bath' too!

We went for an afternoon walk. 'Baby Giraffe' was in the pram, because I had planned to take him to the far away park, but when Merly started following us, I thought I'd cut the walk short. Merly went around the whole block with us, following like a dog! I was smiling all the way, and 'Baby Giraffe' was fascinated!

I think that's about all. The rest of the day was a bit of an irritation, because 'Baby G' is really pushing his luck with everything. He is throwing tantrums left right and centre.
I do feel that I've gotten a lot better with staying patient with him now, although he seems to push even further, like he wants me to lose it.
Anyway, I'm really hoping that this is a phase; a very short one!

A few thoughts that I had today...

1. Why was that farm labourer carrying a dead animal over his shoulders on the side of the road today? Was it to take home to eat or to bury? Was it a dog, or a goat?
2. Do I help my mom enough with general things?
3. When I was younger, I was a real horder. I'm so glad I've grown up and that today I could let go of: my candle making junk, my old school books and old letters from friends that say things like: best friends forever..., really old toys that have bug colonies growing in their hair and bad water damage.
4. What on earth am I going to wear to the J&B met on Saturday next week? I haven't shopped for fancy clothes in so long, and plus I'm at that stage in the pregnancy where I feel like I'm showing, but not quite enough to look like I'm showing. I JUST LOOK FAT!
5. Cup cakes make a cool birthday gift.
6. Can't wait for the Ollivello cooking demo tomorrow morning.
7. It feels good to have shaven legs. I think I really need to do it more often. 2 months of growth is not fun. It tickles like there are ants walking on my ankles.
8. Arnica gel stinks.
9. New hose pipes suck. how do you get rid of the kinks that stop the water?
10. Looking forward to tonight, for a good meal and a good sleep. 'Baby Giraffe' is sleeping at his granny and 'The One' and I are going out for dinner.
11. Why WAS that farm labourer carrying that dead animal???
