Baby Emma Blog

In keeping with a promise to myself, I’ve decided that the only way to keep an account of the first few weeks of Emma’s birth is to blog it with daily discourse and late night meanderings!

Wash The Chicken

This morning was a busy one, as I had to bathe all three girls before our afternoon guests arrived. I was having friends over I hadn't seen in over a year, so I was looking forward to catching up with them.

However, this morning Jessica was also telling me that we were going to "wash the chicken", and do you think I had a clue as to what on earth she was talking about!!?? After Emma's bath, I told the twins it was time for their bath. Jessica was so excited and she told me again we were going to wash the chicken. So as I was running the bath, I was conjuring all sorts of images, including how do you really bathe a chicken, and whether I could use a hairdryer to dry one, and would it sit still long enough to let me do so. When it finally came to bathe them, Jessica brought into the bath with her an egg cup, which had the figurehead of a chicken, which she proceeded to wash. Chuckling to myself, I bathed the girls, and in the end I bathed that chicken too at Jessica's request, and dried them all off, too. Not as challenging, but I still got the job done, and managed to enjoy a pleasant afternoon with old friends.

Oddly enough, Emma slept through most of today. Lucky her!

Good thing I blog, so she can catch up on some future date...!

ODD SPOT: Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a
great king from history:

Spades - King David
Hearts - Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar

P.S: Just curious, who does the Joker represent...?
