Emily woke even earlier today, at 5.45. She was babbling away in her room and I thought I heard her say 'Emily poo'. She never does one at that time of day but surprise, surprise, this time she had. It's the first time she seems to have been aware she has done one. I'm not about to start toilet training her yet, though. Not until at least 2 years old. I haven't even got a potty or trainer seat yet, though all my friends have.
I was glad to find that it was a dull day again, though it was nonetheless very warm and sticky. During the morning there was the odd shower, but we went to meet Jill and Sophia at Kyu Shiba Riyku anyway. The girls had a whale of a time running around on the grass and playing with the water fountain.
They also discovered a female turtle laying eggs in a hole she had scraped on a grassy bank. The eggs were very large for such a small creature - almost the size of a hen's egg - and there were several in the bottom of the hole. In fact, they weren't much smaller than the eggs we watched a metre-long sea turtle laying in Borneo, though she lay nearly 70. I hoped our children's squealing and proximity hadn't put the poor creature off, as she began to fill in the muddy hole.
