Princess

Sorrowful


Posted in: Princess

Her: I was sad Mummy. I cried.
Me: Oh dear sweetie, why were you sad?
Her: I wanted you and you wasn’t there.
Me: Oh sweetheart, I’m very sorry.
Her: Veronique (woman at creche) gave me a hug but I was still sad and I wanted you.

I was gutted.

Yesterday on the telephone to her grandma:

Her: I was sad Grandma. I cried at the creche.
Grandma: Oh dear, why were you sad?
Her: I wanted you and you was in Dublin.
Grandma: Oh dear
Her (in tones of deep reproach): I was SAD and you wasn’t there.

Me: Hang on a minute here…

She’s getting better and better at this – reminds me of the ‘I want Daddy/Mummy’ bedtime scenario a while back.
Hee hee.

Thanks Sus, Pog, I think.
Bit fed up Jojo, but, you know, fine, thanks.

Requires Medical Attention


Posted in: Princess, Twins

Me: Yes, sweetheart.
Princess: Your doctor is a woman.
Me: Well, my main doctor is a woman, yes.
Princess: How many doctors have you got, Mummy?
Me (following a quick tot of the number of doctors I have seen during this pregnancy): 8.
Princess: God, Mummy, that’s a lot of doctors.

>That’s only two and a bit each…. it isn’t that much really. 😐
[But full marks to the princess for her Corkistic register and intonation 🙂 ]

Yes, pog, thank you. JD, yes, I am doing excellent work on the Cork accent.

Holiday hiatus


Posted in: Princess, Travel

We are going to the North Sea for a fortnight. During this time there will be no blog updates, unless it is very wet indeed.

In my absence, I leave you with the knowledge that the Princess took in her first film this afternoon (following on the excitement of her first bed on Wednesday) and I spent the morning being used as a pincushion in the lab. I would like ooohs for the former and aahs for the latter.

While I’m away, you may wish to contemplate this picture of her highness demonstrating her didactic streak.

Loc, an offering entitled Madagascar… I’m a disappointment to you, I know it.
Minks, Negrito, Pog, ta.
BHM, be good.
SJ, how could you guess exactly what she was saying? You’re a genius.
Thanks Bobble.

IKEA outcomes sorry outputs

He is building a MALM. What a man. My sister tells me that in Chicago you can order from IKEA on line and pay $100 to have everything delivered.  Why is it America is so much better at this kind of thing?

Tomorrow we build a bed for the Princess. Our lives are just full, full, full of excitement.

I’m sure we’d be reasonably impressed if we just knew what that was – sounds highly futuristic though – any relation to HAL? 0

See neither of you has spent enough time in IKEA. All the furniture is lovingly named in Swedish (except for the Billy bookcase and the Carlos desk) and you should know that the MALM is a chest of drawers. 0

Loud dialogue in a cubicle

Me:Ehem, yes.

Her: I hold your hands.

Me: OK so.

Just discovered your blog today through Jim and Peggy.
This little story reminds me last time I was at a restaurant and went to the toilet. I heard a man in the toilet next door talking
“Oh, hello there, how are you it’s been a long time, you are so sweet. Say hello to daddy”.
It took me about 2 min to realize he was talking to his daughter on the mobile while he was sitting on the toilet, but at first sight I though he was talking to something else.

All the fun of the fair


Posted in: Princess

We went to the funfair yesterday. Am I correct in my belief that it is only in Belgium that the following foodstuffs are offered as standard to punters at these events: mussels, deep fried apple, snails, oysters, dried cod, and chips and
mayonnaise?

The Princess had to be dragged away kicking and screaming and is still very tearful when the word lorry is mentioned.

Well, we only had chips and apple fritters, so we could have done better…
