So Ollie would like some unicorn flash up shoes. Sounds fabulous! Wonder if they do them in my size and if he’d mind it we matched? I shouldn’t think so, he tried to nab my mermaid holiday necklace lovely Lee bought me and when I told him it said Lucy which is my name, he said that was okay because he loves me! Did melt a bit.
I will admit to the tiniest niggle, the smallest worry that someone might tease him, but I realised that would say more about them than him and Ollie is adored for bringing sunshine wherever he goes and light up unicorn shoes could only add to that. I then wondered what my Mum would have done being from a less accepting generation. Well she’d have already bought them and got them gift wrapped! In fact she encouraged me to buy the most garish unicorn rainbow trainers in my mid 30s.
In other news, Harry has decided that he no longer eats animals. We have no idea where it came from, only that he really means it and you should have seen the anguish on his little face when he asked if the ketchup on his hot dog was actually blood. I sent an email to nursery explaining in preparation and they agreed to support him whole heartedly.
When I went to pick the boys up from Little Bears the other day, Becky said Harry had exclaimed to the whole table over tea, how much he liked cheese and tomato toasties and that they weren’t meat or dead. Oh, he’s going to be one of “those” vegetarians!! Let’s hope he never becomes an ex smoker and that he never smokes in the first place, obvs.
Ollie told me yesterday morning just as we were getting in the car that he didn’t want to eat animals either. I forgot to tell nursery! I emailed them quickly at around 11 when I had a flash from my memory banks. It was too late. Nursery reported that evening that Ollie had merrily tucked in to his Lamb Keema at lunch but had not eaten the skin on his cucumber at break. Right.
It was like on Sunday when I tried to explain to Harry that he couldn’t have the gravy on his vegetarian roast because it wasn’t animal friendly.
“But I like gravy” he said and poured it on. At four he’s a bit too young for us to explain about animal juices so we just left him to it and made a note to buy some vegetarian stuff.
As Saturdays go, this one is pretty delicious so far.
Had a knock from next door whose car wouldn’t start and desperately needed to get to work. She offered to pay and didn’t give two hoots I was still in my pyjamas. I told her not to be daft and that’s what neighbours do. Then my car wouldn’t start either. Then I realised I’d grabbed my husbands keys. Once under way I realised how fabulous she looked and how dirty my car was and that I hadn’t even cleaned my teeth. As she stuck her head out of the window “because she was having a hot flush” I wondered if she was in fact being polite and that I smelt worse than I realised.
I dropped her off and said Lee could give her a jump later. She thanked me for our services and said that was probably taking it one step too far and we had a little giggle.
I high tailed it home and straight in to the bath x
