Things may be frantically busy around here, but at least someone's finding the time to curl up with a good book...

Reading in bed.
It's easy for her to smile. She's not the one who spent half of yesterday evening putting that cotbed together.

Anyhoo, the list of things to do seems to be getting longer by the day, and we won't be spending the night at the new flat until the last of the (delayed) carpets goes down tomorrow, but at least Amelie's sleeping arrangements have been finalised. I've upgraded her from a second-hand cot to a brand new cotbed. And having made her bed, she has to bounce in it...


That mattress cost me a hundred quid. It's now worth about a fiver. Frankly it would have been cheaper to buy a trampoline.

Of course, they do say that it can take small children a week or two to get used to a new bed. But having bounced for twenty minutes and read a couple of books, this was Amelie less than half an hour after setting eyes on the thing...

Sleeping Beauty
That koala turned 36 last Thursday. I was given it for my first birthday, and I passed it on to Amelie this evening. It's unlikely to see 37.

Quite a few holes left in that headboard Phil.  Either its already got woodworm (very orderly woodworm) or perhaps you can buy an additional section to fit in to protect endangered koalas.

Rather than spending £100 on a matress, you could just have bought a couple of large pillows, judging by the last photo.

When I saw that there was video footage available, I just knew you were going to put the springy sound effect to good use again!
