Elizabeth slept through the night last night... unfortunately Jasper (the cat) didn't. But well done Elizabeth. She did seem a lot brighter today. Although her cough sounds like a cat coughing up a fur ball.

Lynn, the childminder, said she had to send one home on Tuesday and one home yesterday. At work 2 of my department were off ill. It certainly is getting round.

Elizabeth has a new thing. She's making, you know, the Red Indian war cry, noises with her hands. I keep trying to get it with the camera (video), but she's too quick.

In the bath tonight she tried to put her fingers in the overflow drain. The first time I said "no", she looked at me, then tried again. I said "no" more firmly and the lip started to pout. The after the final "no", she cried pointlessly for a good few minutes, looking back at the offending drain all the time... either longing to try again or trying to shift the blame. I had to hide below the edge of the bath so she wouldn't see me laughing. It was rather cute.
