almost done

Most of my preparations are complete.

The baby's room has a cot, change table, pram, stroller, toybox/bookcase, chest of drawers (full of clothes), nappies, baby bath, car seat.

I have a few last things hanging on the line drying ... and basically only have the portacot to clean.

Most of the other things still left to do will be required later in the year ... like the highchair, the baby swing, toilet training seats etc.

It is almost time for me to turn my attention to the garden.

I am now getting the inevitable question ... how many weeks left from everyone and am surprised just how many other questions people ask.

Sometimes it surprises me how many people notice me ... and I am usually pretty friendly and forthcoming ... but every now and again after someone asks a battery of questions or if too many people ask me the same question on the same day I start to feel like I really wish I could just say "none of your business".

hmpf

Anyway today is the last day of term and I watched my easter bunny get an award on parade.

It was an unexpected one (her teacher had filled it out in mid feb ... and it is now 1st April before it was finally presented)... and I almost didn't worry about going to parade but luckily I changed my mind "just in case".

Last parade uni and I went with cameras etc expecting her to get a particular award and it was not announced.

We found out it would probably be given in the first parade of next term and so I wasn't expecting anything to happen this parade.

Kt is a bit sniffly today and I wasn't even sure I should send her to school, but they had the go for gold movie reward on ... all the good kids got to go and see "nanny mcphie and the big bang" at the movie theatre and there was an easter bonnet parade in the afternoon and she did not want to miss out on any of that.
