The Cinema!

Today Amelia had her first trip to the cinema. Duncan took her to see Fantastic Mr Fox... of 'Mr Tantic Fox' as he is known in our house. She has been ridiculously excited about it all week. She loves the book ,Duncan has read it to her a few times at bedtime and she had seen film trailers. I kept telling her it would be a big room with a huge telly, that it would be very dark and very loud ... but I think she might have thought she was actually going to meet Mr Tantic himself!!
Duncan said she was a little scared at first as it was so loud but soon got into it and was asking very loud questions - especially about the surround sound noises! Luckily there were only a few other people in the cinema. She loved it and I am so glad they had their little treat together.

I stayed at home with Lucy who has been ill with a high temperature since Friday. Today the temperature had gone down but she was thoroughly miserable for most of the day, poor thing and has only gone back to her normal happy self since dinner. And considering that the clocks went back and they were up an extra hour today - they have both been very good girls!

While we were all in our bed this morning...
'Mummy, Lucy's donea pooh'
'No, I just checked her nappy - she hasn't'
'She has. It smells like garlic'
