Today first pipi in the potty!

This evening Jessica said to me - as so often recently - "pipi!!".... I had to run downstairs to get the potty, so I told her to hold it. I came back ... she sat on it .... and then she made her first pipi ever in the potty. Hurrah!

... is hot ....

Jessica's trademark expression these days ... wheather it's hot or cold ... "is hot" she says in a whiny voice - all the time. Of course, at the moment we have Rodrigo's family over from Mexico which is great fun. We've done a lot of sightseeing, went to Brighton, Windsor and Central London.

Socks ... and Mickey Mouse

Jessica is most concerned with wearing "socks" these days. She doesn't go anywhere without socks, no matter how warm it is.

She's also become a TV addict (have to change that!). She loves Mickey Mouse and Peppa Pig (which she now says with a pig snort like the pigs do in the cartoon).

We've had some warm days but we've also gone back to winter a few times ... :-(

Gracias, Mami!

Jessica is very polite these days and says "Gracias, Mami", "Gracias, Papa" all the time. She says it weather she gives or receives something.

The weather is finally sunny and we're enjoying being outdoors in the garden - we've waited long enough.

The news of the moment is that a volcano erupted in Iceland and the ashes prevents airtraffic in almost all of Europe. And there seems to be no end! Amazing. We're scheduled to fly to Munich on 7 May - let's hope it's all over by then!

Easter holidays

Tomorrow we're off to Germany to spend the Easter holidays there with "Oma". The weather's supposed to be awful so there will probably be no Easter egg hunt. Jessica is feeling fine again after being a little unwell last week. She doesn't seem to enjoy nursery as much - she much rather watches TV these days. She can say Mickey, Minnie and Daisy. And Mouse. Being away for a few days will be a nice change.

Last week we went to Chessington World of Adventures and it was indeed an adventure for Jessica. She couldn't go on many rides, which was just as well, as she was scared of most of them, but she did do the carrousel, the mini truck ride, a train ride and the parrot walk-through.
