The Toddler Diaries 'Sick day'

Everything was getting on Bethany’s “nerve” today. Josh found an animal which turned out to be an ant and asked if we could take it to the shops. He also proudly informed me that he was making patterns with his bogey in the carpet. The day didn’t begin very well as Daniel had an early start and I woke up with a migraine. I spent most of the morning on the sofa in between emptying potties. Josh and Bethany were very good and spent a long time being very quiet in the dining room. I’m not sure what they were up to, but they were quiet and that’s all that mattered to me. So far I haven’t found any evidence of naughtiness.

After lunch I struggled up from my sick bed for a visit to Tesco. We’d completely run out of nappies for the big bottomed pair and had had to borrow some to keep us going last night. In Tesco I realised why it’s much better for me to shop online. Everything in the store seemed to be on offer and it was very tempting to pick up a lot more than I’d come in for, because it felt like I was getting a great bargin. I held my nerve and only succumbed to a 'by-one-get-one-free' yogurt, total cost 38p. The lady in the café in Tesco (yes we were wining and dining [or is that whining and dining?] again) gave Josh and Bethany a hat each, because Bethany had complimented her on hers. They were fascinated to notice that all the people working in the café were wearing crowns too. How generous of Tesco management to give their staff crowns to wear!
