Jeans’s Sit Down! No Mummy’s Sit Down! (by sarah)
For saftey reasons Jean's car seat has had to be moved from the middle seat of the van into my seat. This has cuased great indignation and much wailing on Jeans part. She calls seats and chairs 'sit-downs' so we now have her wailing 'Nonononono Jean's sit-down, no mummy's sit-down!' followed by the hurlling of her wackwack (bob the duck), once she has realised that Bob is now out of reach we get, 'MY wack wack, My wack wack, wrong sit down!' Wail.
There's tears and everything but mostly it has the unfortunate effect of wanting to make me laugh :/
She's had to be moved even though it means I now have to climb over the drivers seat to get in, becuase her legs are now long enough that she can and does put her foot on the gear stick!
She also becomes indignant if her dinner place is not set out right and if adults have more cultery than she does!
There has been a marked difference in her playing from before the flood - before the flood it was all water and cars now she likes playing with cuddly toys and even dolls which she puts to bed and feds and things. Also the nursery tell me that she loves playing 'hair dresser' which makes scense as we have a little brush for her as she was always nicking mine and Als brushes! She is still obsessed with anything machanical though which is cool 🙂
