Ella Loves Lou

This was on Sunday, but I still have to share....

Ella loves "lou"... now I dont know where lou comes from but that is what she calls any sort of cream or moisturiser or sun block... So I leave Chris and Ella upstairs and dont expect any harm to come to them , when Chris yells that "me and Ella are going to have a bath"... well, they'd both not long had a bath, so thinking this was suspicious, I ascended the stairs to find this!

Ella and the Lou!

"more please!"

OMG! I gave Ella toast for breakfast, and she just wandered into the kitchen with her empty plate and said... "more, please!" I am so proud of my little girly! She getting the hang of this talking thing!

YAY! GO ELLA!

Say NO to House Hunting

You know you have all these protests and stuff "SAY NO TO ANIMAL CRUELTY" etc etc... There should be one about house-hunting. I vote, it should be banned. How could anyone LIKE house hunting????

Ok... so Im pretty sure I'd LOVE it if i wasnt so bitter about having to leave this place behind. We were going to buy this house which is rented atm, but it appears MILs calculationg were incorrect, and I was being led astray! Turns out we cannot afford it. Any house less than the price we were going to pay for this one, is either a really horrid house, or in a scary unsafe horrible location, so im not happy.

Here is one we're going to view tomorrow night

Its a small village about 15 min drive from here, but it mustnt be a very nice area, as all the houses there are really cheap. I dont know though, I've never been there, so we will see tomorrow. I've been looking at the local school report, and its not outstanding, but its not terrible. Maybe I'll ask a few of the locals tomorrow!

But for now... I must clean!

Counting...

So weve just spent a very long time trying to learn to count. She can sort of say some of the letters, and knows how many fingers is 5 (nice and easy!), but is still clueless.

"two... fiy... sees... seyen... two... fiy..."

hehe.

A Birds Sweet Morning Tunes

"BISCUITS! BISCUITS! LOLLY! BISCUITS! BISCUITS! BISCUITS! LOLLY! LOLLY!"

It was actually in a tune of some sort! Hmmm... im not sure whether to call her a clever girl or a greedy girl!

Im getting my hair cut today. My mother is coming around at any time now. My appointment is at 11am.

I am even iller today than I have been. I cannot talk, as Im all croaky because im throat hurts. I have phlegm here there and everywhere. coughing and sneezing is excrutiating! *sigh* when will this end?

Trying to crawl

Joey is so trying to crawl. He moves his feet, and his bum goes up in the air, but he doesnt move his hands/arms, and just ends up with his bum facing north and then collapses. Its so cute. I havent got a photo of it yet, because im so busy encouraging him when hes doing it I forget to get the camera! So to compensate for the lack of a photo, heres a photo of Ella and Joey playing together on the floor today.

In 10 months of living here...

Ella and Lily from next door have only ever played together twice, and that was at each others bday parties! But every day you hear Lily shouting "ELLA! ELLA!" and my non-talking child shouts back "IYIY! IYIY!" oh how they long to play. But it always goes wrong. We were meant to be going next door in an hour. Well Ella decided she could not longer keep her eyes open and has conked out! So thats that playdate called off! *sigh* So to cheer myself up, heres a photo of my babies!
