Nik's on holiday this week, well the sunny days anyway so we decided to try potty training Kalila. There is no going back now. Kalila is now officially nappy free during the day as of today! For a first day, it didn't go horribly wrong. She managed half her wees in the potty, one naked in the grass, and a poo on the potty. We even ventured out but not before we put a waterproof barrier on the car seat. It wasn't used thankfully. I'm hopeful that within a month, she'll be pretty good at it.

Last night Digi really didn't want to go to sleep. He kept getting out of his bed every three minutes. After about 45 minutes of this, I banished him from our room. When Nik went to wee him he came back in our room quickly and motioned for me to follow. Digi had taken out loads of his bed linen from his closet and thrown some books and toys everywhere. The light was on but Digi wasn't in bed. A peek into the next room revealed where he was, snuggled in with his sister. They were both fast asleep.

We decided to put up the tent in the garden this afternoon but we aren't sleeping in it tonight, probably tomorrow. Digi wanted to sleep with Kalila in the "holiday room", our guest bedroom. I made up the bed, put up some blankets over the windows to keep out mr sunshine and tucked them in. Digi was so excited but something made him yearn for his bed. I stayed in the hallway for a few minutes to hear their funny conversations when DIgi appeared and went into his room. Kalila soon followed. I can hear them giggling. It's way past bedtime but I'm not going to do anything about it. I figure they deserve a break from the norm as well. This could all backfire but we'll see....

Tomorrow I discuss the Romans.
