Flu Jabs

This week the girls had their flu jabs. Lucy had had a booster the week before...and had cried A LOT, which had scared Amelia, so I was worried how she would be. But I spoke to her about it and we decided that she would go first, To show Lucy how it is done. I explained it might hurt a little, but she had to be brave for Lucy. So when it was time,we went to the Doctors. Amelia was dissapointed already, as the nurse was waiting and she didnt get to look at the books in the waiting room (which are old and cack!!) so we were straight in there. Lucy sat on my lap and Amelia in the chair next to me. The nurse was great and just got on with it. I held Amelias hand and she had the jab - her little face looked at me the whole time and her eyes grew big and she did that funny little smile that she does when she isnt sure about something and her hand shook. I could tell she wanted to cry - but she didnt. She was just so brave - I cannot describe how proud of her I was. She picked some stickers while Lucy had hers - and she cried - but only a little. Poor little monleys - and Lucy has her MMR in a few weeks - just in time for her reaction to be around my birthday!!
We have had a lovely weekend in the sun - getting loads done in the garden. Since Friday, unless the girls are eating or sleeping, we have been in the garden since they have been dressed - and we are getting through some gardening clothes!! We made Amelia a 'muddy puddle' which has clearly ruined the grass! Its near the water butt (which she can now turn on) and both of them have been jumping in it! We have been colouring, moon sanding, play dohing, and they have been helping with planting, digging etc - just love getting them in the garden - its so much fun. Just cant wait for some really warm weather so we can get the water out!!

Amelia-ism of the Day;
'I'll do you two deals...I'll have a wee and then I'll watch Noddy'

oh and...

' Dont worry love. Its not the end of the world' (when Lucy riuned my moonsand castle!!)
