Miss M doesn’t quite get the concept of I-Spy. She knows her letter names and can recognize some but is less able on her sounds yet which is fine as she is only 3 years old. Nevertheless she likes to play I-Spy, which tends to mean anyone playing with her goes through something like this…
Miss M: I spy with my little eye something beginning with c.
Player/victim: Car? CD?
Miss M: No, snake.
Or,
Miss M: “I spy with my little eye something beginning with trump.
But returning from Stratford yesterday we had this;
Miss M: “My spy with my little little eye, something beginning with four.”
Miss E: “Erm, Forehead, forefinger, foretoes, forenose, forearm, for…”
And I’m driving along and thinking, ‘If she says foreskin I will die.”
We had an amazing day with Holl, Q of H, The Thrower, Belle and Geoff, and saw some splendiferous butterflies.
..and some very cute lesser spotted long legged kidmoths.
And Belle made gorgeous Butternut Squash, Tomato and Tarragon, and celery and something soups, cheesy flapjacks and yummy bread and muffins. It was so so lovely. Sorry it’s a quicky post but I’m off out with some girlie mates for a friend’s birthday. Mt bath is run and Miss M has informed me that I need to hurry up as she wants my bubbles. Tsk, nothing is ever mine.

the thrower got home, spotted a butterfly and said “yoook, mummy! buttefwy!”
i said ‘that will be £4.50, please.”
it was celery and cashew! i imagine it was lovely. but i was a personal fan of the butternut squash and the tomato. i could eat my way out of a tomato soup house, particularly if belle made it.
