Entry for 30th August, 2008

As I mentioned recently, I built my daughter's bed at the weekend. It has proved to be a big success with her. ("I love my pink bed.")
She has now taken to wearing her dressing gown in the afternoon. She wanders around the house like a miniature Noel Coward, announcing at regular intervals that she "is going upstairs for a wee rest." She can often be found, thumb in mouth, lying very happily amongst her soft toys.
I sometimes envy the newness of her world. To be excited about your first proper bed: what a world that is away from me now. I was even reasonably blase recently about a helicopter ride.
