We had our weekly lunch with Nick. Another attempt to eat at Organic House ended in me deciding that we should steer clear of there for a few months at least. Emily picked at the food and mainly ate salad things. She managed to smear grease all over the table and her chair. She did like the funky music though, and was dancing in her chair. She kept looking around to see if anyone was watching her (which they weren't): definitely likes an audience. It must be Nick's musical genes - maybe she will end up performing in a band like he did.

Later we went to Kyu Shiba Rikyu gardens with Jo and Isy. The girls both did well to stay on their feet for over an hour (likewise Jo, now she is 30 weeks pregnant). Isy is very relaxed with me now and even asked me to hold her hand as we walked along some stepping stones; Emily was happy to hold Jo's hand too.

In the bath, I counted out how many of the letters Emily knows and it was 14. But when I say 'know', I only mean that she associates at least one word with that letter eg. M = Mummy, G = Grandma, Grannie, Grandad, and it is only the capital letter, not lower case too.
