Phew!

Katy will possibly write about this at more length later, but a brief post from me. This afternoon, K, L and Katy were models at the inaugural baby show staged by the local NCT. We went to the venue yesterday to pick up the children’s (gorgeous) clothes and to find out what we to do – no problem until L threw a major strop because she didn’t want to take the nice clothes off at the end of the practice. Huge sports hall with very few people about, so that those who were had no trouble in seeing or hearing us wrestling her out of them. 🙄

This morning I was in the shower when L came into the bathroom and said “I got a beard!” As I hadn’t got my glasses on I couldn’t see well enough to make the beard out. My heart sank as I thought she’d got hold of a black felt-tip pen and scribbled all over her face, which would have been a lovely surprise for the lady whose clothes she would be modelling. K had come in with her and so I asked him what she’d made her beard out of. “Porridge” he said (it was after breakfast). Phew! I was very glad that L had a porridge beard, which isn’t something that happens every day!

The show itself was well run and so on and the venue was good – the normal sports hall floor had been covered up with carpet, so it felt like a proper exhibition centre, apart from the cricket nets and basketball hoops around the walls. J got to take some more photos with the digital camera, some of which came out very well.
