And so we went shopping

Katie and Daisy both had a fab time at the park with Grandma Wendy whilst mummy had a MUCH needed haircut! Katie then given the choice between walking round boring shops with mummy or playing with her cousin, wisely chose to go and play with her cousin! She had SUCH a great time with Lani and Aunty Julia that she didn't want to come home AT ALL!!
Daisy meanwhile started in the buggy happily enough.
Eventually she got fed up what with it getting crowded with the shopping bags! So she decided a snuggle was needed instead.



I'm VERY proud of her Grandma for offering to carry her in the sling!! Especially given that she had a hip repair when I was 10wks pregnant with Daisy! I tied G'ma and Daisy in together and G'ma assured me it was very comfortable and Daisy was certainly happy enough :o) She did end up passing to me after a while, but we have hit the 10mos "velcro baby" stage... Her Aunty Rek got a fab tongue out to the camera shot of her too lol. It was just as well she swapped to the sling, we did shop till we dropped and the buggy could carry no more bags and defo didn't have room for babies lol!!

You know you don't use a buggy much when...

Going to Bluewater this w/end (the shopping for me theme continues!!). So I thought it may be an idea to have somewhere for Daisy that avoids further episodes of the "escape under the door!" game she's now learnt. So I pulled out the neglected buggy to see if she fits in it yet.
She does.
Cue tears from Katie because "It's MY Buggy!! I want to go in it!!"
So we've had to have cuddles and take it in turns to be pushed and push it around the sitting room here...
Daisy thinks it's Great! When I went to put it away again she threw a tantrum and tried to climb back into it! :o She's sat in it as I type eating a biscuit.

So I think it's safe to say Grandma will get to push one or both of them in it this w/end, just as long as I can fit it in the car!!

And Continuing on the Trend Setting Theme...

Katie is developing her own sense of style...

Her hat was much admired in Sherborne yesterday!
Mr Boden had delivered some clothing that morning. They weren't right. Katie very kindly, on seeing my sad face piped up "Don't worry mummy, you can grown into them!" Unfortunately it was the Opposite problem and mummy's not counting on shrinking any further fast.
So we headed into Sherborne and I dared to try a bit of a clothes shop for ME with Both girls in tow. Well, Katie wowed the ladies in the shop.. I'm browsing through the clothes rails of the (rather posh but not too posh) shop. A little voice behind me pipes up "Mummy, I think you should try THESE ones on, they'd suit you!" and turn round to see Katie with a small pile of random tops picked up from the display at the front of the shop! The 3 sales ladies (and shop not busy at all) all thought it very cute and amusing, so we stayed and tried on various things. At which point Daisy decided it was her turn and escaped out from under the changing room door, whilst I was in my undies! Never have I thrown on clothing so fast!!! Katie escaped after her and stopped her sister in her tracks!
We came out with a small bag, comprising two thin summer cardies and two linen trousers. Phew!
