Growing up
Amy was 2 years old yesterday and reached a real milestone, she went the whole day without having one episode of wet knickers. This is great news as she has been using here potty all the time, as long as she hasn't got any knickers on, put a pair of draws on her, even her Dora the Explorer ones, and they are wet within half an hour. Yesterday though Nanny decided that cover-up was the order of the day, and it worked, hurrah, chocolate stars all round! All the praising that goes on when she uses the potty is having a knock-on effect, today Amy told me that I was a good girl for using the toilet before we went out shopping, she didn't reward me with any chocolate though.
Her Mummy saw the Consultant again today, and had another scan, all is well. Each twin weighs just under a pound, average for their gestation, and there is no sign of TTTS. Another appointment in two weeks and then, if all is still going so well, no more scans for 4 weeks. We will miss seeing Van and Lorry on such a regular basis but since they are still undecided about if scans are detrimental to unborn babies it will be good to cut down on the frequency of the voyeuristic invasions of their domain.
SIL raced at Brands Hatch on Sunday, in all that rain, and what a scary experience that was. I don't know how he felt, other than he was acting as if he had been wired up to the mains, but I found it frightening watching him zoom round the wet track at breakneck speed, especially when he approached the standing water where 5 riders came off and ended up being blue-lighted to hospital. Anyway, he got 2 thirds so he was a happy bunny, next race in 2 weeks. I shall not be a spectator, the nerves won't take it.
