Incy Wincy Spider gets flushed again.

It is once again too raining. If rain really were cats and dogs, then it would have been a lions and Newfoundlands downpour this morning.

I am currently being tortured by children’s programs. Go Diego, Go is on at the minute and he is saving Baby River Dolphin. Principessa is not taking much notice of the television; she has a little table set up with her pens, pencils and paper on. She can be so organised when she wants to be.

She had a bad night last night. She fell out of her bed for the first time since setting it up last week. That led to an hour of crying. First, she wanted me, then she wanted Nanny, then she wanted Grandand, then she wanted her pink potty, then her blue potty, then the white toilet. She finally settled down after she had her first ever wee on the toilet. She was very happy with herself about that. We then had to go and lie in bed and watch cartoons. I just wanted to go to sleep!

There was a horrible eight-legged harbinger of tiny fear in the bedroom last night. Oh, I hate them. Grandand tried to catch it, but the little bugger jumped off the wall. EEEEEEEKKKKKK! It appeared later on, and me, being stupid, was afraid to go to sleep. I didn’t want it’s filthy, little, sticky legs crawling over me. Nope Sir, I don’t like it, thank you.

It's too raining...

And it is. It is very raining. This does not make Principessa a happy girl.

"Mummy, I want to go to the seaside."

"We can't go to the seaside today, babe."

"Why Mummy? Is it too raining?"

So this is why Principessa is going to be a horror today. Despite the fact that she has two new Charlie and Lola books, which she has decided are not as good as the first three Charlie and Lola books she owned, the seaside is the only place she wants to be. But then, she has never been to the seaside, as I have never been abroad, so I can understand the attraction of wanting to see somewhere I have not seen before. Hopefully the weather will get better and we can take her to the seaside.
