Well, today at nursery, we read in Jess's log-book (well, I don't know what else you'd call it) that she'd been singing. So, in the car on the way home I asked her what she'd been singing. She didn't say much for a while. Then she said 'Baa baa black sheep'. To be more accurate, she said 'Baa baa bla shiss', but we figure we can interpret Jesslish pretty well.

She's been adding to her vocabulary since I last posted, and using it more versatilistically. For instance, she opened up a leaflet the other day and said 'tick tock'. When I looked, there was a small cartoon clock face in the margin of the text. She's also starting to do actions to go along with nursery rhymes like Wind the bobbin up and Incy wincy spider.

In other recent news, we all went to Rob and Hannah's wedding, which was a grand day out, especially given it was in Nuneaton We were mighty impressed by the processional fanfare written by Rob For the Lovely Lady. Jess was popular with the string quartet at the reception, as she not only swayed to the music but applauded at the end of each piece. She's a connoisseur, see. There was also another little girl there much the same age, who had brought a toy duck, which Jess appreciated the opportunity to share:

I've also been down to Sussex twice in the past fortnight to do some wiring at my Mum's. She's a bit miffed as the screen on her Mac laptop has stopped working. Sounds terminal, and is particularly exasperating as it's happened only a couple of weeks after it came back from repair to fix a dead DVD drive. Grrr.

Jess and I had a day out together last week while Ros ran a training day in the office. We had an exciting bus/train combo trip to Solihull to see Ashley at the Apple Store, and look at MacBooks by way of potential replacement.

Work for me is not much fun at the moment, as my colleague is off sick with RSI for about a month now. So, I'm trying to cover both our workloads.

Sleep, anyone?
