PostingUnder the wire

Six weeks until baby due date. Yesterday escaped flat for first time in days. Took daughter and her Granny out for lunch (tapas). Even managed to walk there and back, helped by orthopaedic truss under bump and lessons in this technique. In restaurant, Granny and I leapt back in horror at sight of enormous spider crab sat on counter. Waving its claws at us. Horrified eye meets. Two-year-old daughter unpeturbed.

Hoisted daughter into high chair, grappled with chair straps, slumped down, ordered usual tapas favourites. Spanish waiter made fuss of us all. Rush of pleasure at being back in world. Daughter ordered an apple juice. Looked around room. Surveyed the scene. Pronounced: "Like it."

It's scary isn't it, when they come out with stuff you might have said yourself...

Yes, am trying (without much success) to refrain from swearing.

"Like it" - How adorable and sweet! It's so hard not to laugh at their expressions sometimes but it seems mean to when they are being so earnest and sincere about these things. Our son has only just started uttering new words and we get so excited at each new one!

Hi Joyfulgirl, quite right too about being excited at your son's new words - is one of parenting's greatest pleasures.

"Like it" - I can absolutely picture Beanie saying that. I see a future ahead of her as a restaurant critic!

Thanks, Vanessa, and your boy clearly has a future writing pithy book reviews!
