Kate can NOT be trusted AT ALL with pens, pencils, crayons, you name it. She will draw on the wall, the sofa and other unacceptable things....arrrrgh!!!!!! I would have thought she was old enough to be over this by now, sigh.

For some reason she has decided that wiggling and jiggling for a long time is necessary before going to the toilet. I am constantly telling her to go to the toilet but she won't until she has done the dancing about for a while...what's with that? She looks so uncomfortable but will stop wiggling when I suggest she go to the toilet but then within seconds starts up again.

Abby likes her home...that makes me happy. Leaving both Grandparents, after staying there a while, she has told me she is happy to be going home because home is the best.

Kate hopefully is over her swearing. Before going up the coast to stay for the week it was out of control.....just the F word as in F'can but just the one word is more than enough. She would swear at Abby mainly and when I wasn't around but I could still hear her. Needless to say she got into trouble but it didn't seem to deter her. But I don't recall her saying it at all up the coast. I hope she doesn't start it up again.

Abby and I had this argument in which she insisted that I bought cucumber one time and she really liked it. After trying Grandma's cucumber, which she thought was awful, she still insisted that I'd given her some once and it was nice. Mum thought maybe it was another type but I knew it couldn't be cucumber at all since I dislike it intensely and would never buy it. But Abby is the type that just won't back down, she insisted that I had bought some and refused to listen to me. Anyway, after much thought I realised what she was talking about......zucchini!
