Back Garden Play with Mhari

Early Birthday

A lovely early party was had chez casa marshall with pizza and sponge and a gorgeous savvy tree. More on the party front to follow including soft play with Savvy's other BofA pals, and then a family party in Kendal in two weeks time. Lucky girl.

A discussion on world peace, particle acceleration, and global warming

Almost Two

Our little niblet is coming along nicely. Common behavioural traits include:

-Shouting “My do it. MY DO IT”, even for things that are completely unachievable for an almost 2 year old.

-Refusing to wear shoes and mitts, even in wet, cold weather.

-Engaging in 30 minute power struggles on aisle 7 at the super market involving thrown dolls, half eaten unpaid for cheese, and an overturned sunglass rack.

-Choosing her own clothes and accessories (exhibit A, above).

-Saying “wove you Mommy, wove you Daddy [wove = love]” after being put to bed. Very cute.

Spot the Savvy

The wee hoarder is in there. The usual clutter required for a good night's sleep chez Savage.

"no want beach" - Savvy escorted away from the wind and sand

The big Scottish Swimming AGM weekend in Carnousite wasn’t quite the success story we were hoping for. The test was high for passing Proposal A1 and we needed 75% “for”. Unfortunately we were a handful of blue votes short and the pink slips scuppered the day. Luckily we won on some key practical points, including our fee increases. Despite losing out on the freedom to make some key modernising moves, the team did well with their presentations, and the awards dinner was a success.

Savvy slept at the restaurant through dinner with the Board on Friday, and we had a baby sitter for Saturday night so MegaDob was out both nights and in fine kilted form too. MD also managed to hit the golf course on the sat aft when a knackered mommy took Savage on a slooooooooow walk to the beach.

Sunday was a day to relax, more time in the pool and beach before a stealth trip to the golden arches. Savvy woke early in the mid quarter pounder experience. Alas, she has had her first macdonalds fry…perhaps a bi-annual occasion then.

Another 364 days until the next AGM!
