And counting...

The funniest thing from yesterday, which I'm determined to mention on the blog, even it if doesn't get a 'full story' coverage, was me falling out of the hammock.  I was drinking a cup of tea at the time, which (you'll be glad to know) I managed to redistribute before it got to the critical combination of arm-above-head-and-hot-tea-succumbing-to-gravity moment.  Sadly, the mug died instantly when it hit one of the legs of the hammock.  Thankfully, in my graceful fall, I managed to avoid landing in the paddling pool, though the hammock did end up with one foot in it.  (It's on a stand, thus the legs and feet!)
Anna very nearly gave birth instantly she was laughing so hard.  The worst thing about it was that it wasn't caught on camera.  Would have been worth a pretty penny!

Joshua's currently veering between sweet and monster (though thankfully spends more time in the former mode)  Today, one of his amusing turns of phrase was declaring himself to be 'completely right' about something. 
Talking about the baby, he asked me today if he'd have to show the baby how to do everything.  I pointed out it might be a little early for such things (it's due out by controlled extraction on Friday).
Me:  Do you think baby will be able to talk?
J:  No
Me:  Do you think baby will be able to walk?
J:  No
Me:  Do you think baby will be able to swim?
J:  No
(I didn't bother to correct him on this)
Me:  Do you think baby will be able to cry?
J:  No [quick rethink with grin on face] YES.
Me:  Oh yes, definitely.
We're looking forward to it :)
