Baby Boy has had some really bad nappy rash over the last few days so yesterday I left his nappy off and let him crawl around without a nappy on when we got home from the shops.
He was sitting on the floor playing with some toys when suddenly he started screaming and shouting "Mama, Mama". I rushed over to see what was wrong and he burst in to tears when he saw me and looked to the floor.
My eyes went to where his had settled and saw that he had done a wee on the carpet. I quickly calmed him and told him not to worry that wee was easily cleaned up, but he kept staring at his leg. I realised that when he had done the wee some had gone on his leg and that is what the fuss was about, he had startled himself!

Top Ender Giggles - Different Rules, Same Top Ender
Top Ender stayed overnight at Granny's last night. There are different rules at Granny's like you can stay up as late as you want and together we can eat junk food all night. I don't mind these rules, they are what memories are made of. Today when Granny, Auntie and both Cousins returned Top Ender home I asked her if she had been good.
"Oh no she was so naughty. She wouldn't go to bed when I told her", said Granny winking at me
"Is that true Top Ender?" I asked in mock shocked horror
"Do you want the truth Mummy?"
"Yes"
"I actually wanted to go to bed earlier than Granny would let me!"
At this point Auntie started laughing "Is that true?"
"Yes, she went to bed on her own at 8:30 and was asleep in seconds!" said Granny!

Top Ender Giggles - Even I didn't know!
Yesterday afternoon Top Ender was complaining that she didn't feel very well. We happened to be at the Doctors already for another reason and I just assumed she was being a pain! When we got home, she was sitting on the Sofa and wanted a blanket. I was busy playing with Baby Boy and so told her she should go get one from her room.
A few moments later she was shouting from the stairs that there was sick upstairs. I thought she said that the cat had been sick (worryingly as none of the cats were in the house) and so asked her to repeat what she had just said.
"I've been sick and I'm sorry"
"Its okay come down, let me clean you up"
"Its on the landing and in my room"
"That is okay, you get washed and undressed in the bathroom and I will go clean it up and get some PJ's for you to wear okay?"
After we had everything cleaned up (jeeps that kid threw up a lot) I apologised to her for not believing her when she said she felt ill.
"That's okay, don't feel bad. I didn't know I was going to be sick until it was on the floor!"

Top Ender Giggles - Sneaking Rewards
Top Ender came down the stairs this morning wondering what her reward this weekend would be... if she got one. Knowing she had just come out of my bedroom on an errand to fetch a nappy for her brother I asked her what she had seen that she had asked this question;
"Nothing!"
"Top Ender, tell me the truth"
"I saw another Polly Pocket Doll, with a penguin!"
"Will it make you behave so you get your stars?"
"Yes"
"Then yes that will be your reward, if by Sunday you have enough stars"
"Okay... Can I have tonight?"
"Nothing!"
"Top Ender, tell me the truth"
"I saw another Polly Pocket Doll, with a penguin!"
"Will it make you behave so you get your stars?"
"Yes"
"Then yes that will be your reward, if by Sunday you have enough stars"
"Okay... Can I have tonight?"

What a week!
Top Ender and Baby Boy were in fine form today. Baby Boy loves blowing raspberry's on anybody he can get to sit still long enough and was quite happy climbing over everyone to get to obscure places to blow them.
Top Ender had got a full week of stars on the calender and so we purchased two small Polly Pocket dolls for her as a reward (they were 75p in a toy sale) and left them under her bed for her.

Top Ender tells the truth, even under pressure!
Top Ender was one of the last out of her classroom this evening and told me that Teacher wanted to have a word with me. The last time Teacher wanted to have a word with me was the start of the week where she told me that Top Ender wasn't listening to the Teachers.
I asked Top Ender if it was bad news and she grinned at me and said No! Teacher told me that there had been an incident earlier in the day where another child had accused Top Ender of hurting them.
When Teacher had gone to Top Ender on this Top Ender had very politely and calmly informed Teacher that she hadn't, Teacher explained that telling the truth was important and Top Ender again calmly said that she hadn't been involved.
It eventually came out that the other child had lied for some unnamed reason, but Teacher (and me) were more impressed that Top Ender had remained calm for the half hour she was under suspicion! I am so proud!
