Josie's week.

I (or should I say we!) have had some exciting outings recently and a few visitors too! 

The little Lady is generally unaware that there are two Josie's around the house...the only way mummy keeps track of who's who and who's turn it is to be chewed is by looking to see which label looks newer to her.  Last Saturday we bought a new washing machine (second hand-but new to us-that was an exciting outing let me tell you) so we Josie's actually get cleaned rather than being left to make rabbit stew in cold water for a bit and we don't think you'll be able to tell the difference via label for much longer.

Recently Mummy and the Lady have started going to a new toddler group (yes the little Lady isn't quite as little as she once was and is now most definitely a toddler) which has been nice. I have seen the Lady learn to climb slides (sort of), clambour into Little Tykes police cars and sit on chairs made especially for tiny people and have a drink and a snack with all her toddler friends. It's REALLY cute- but then we bunnies are known to hold extreme bias!

On Tuesday we went to Tiny Talk on the bus-which is one of the Lady's favourite things to sign!  She's an old hand at signing now and is one of the oldest in the class.  It's funny to look at the little babies and to think of how the little Lady used to look. She was all wrinkly and red too.. not so long ago...but she now knows 35 signs! It's her own language and I have great fun watching her and Mummy have conversations.  The Lady especially enjoys signing through the opening credits for In the Night Garden.  She points and signs for stars and flowers.  She signs for birds when the Tittifiers sing their songs and she waves bye bye enthusiastically.  She can sign nappy, bib, pig, hot, sun, duck, hat, car, Mummy (at long last) and most importantly she can sign bunny rabbit.

This is me in my younger days...before I was chewed!

On Wednesday the little Lady's God-Mummy and her little Lady came to visit.  My Lady spent a lot of time signing for baby and looked huge in comparison to the four month old next to her.  Mummy looked like she didn't know what to do...like she's almost forgotten what it was like!  I really like the Lady's God-Mummy she's kind and helps Mummy to focus on being a good enough Mummy with the strength she has because of Jesus :) and she has high levels of appreciation for multiple cups of tea...

Yesterday the little Lady went to nursery and we Josies had a chance to have a rest and dry out on the radiator.  Unfortunately the little Lady has a horrible cough and was up for a long time yesterday evening, so Josie number 1 -Mummy thinks- came to the rescue along with a bit of help from the old calpol.

Today we're off to the doctors because Mummy thinks the Lady has a chest infection :( we'd rather be at nursery with her helping her to paint and practise her shapes and colours, but we need to make sure the Lady is well enough to go to nursery!  I don't have to go to nursery as much these days.  The little Lady is all kinds of confident and doesn't generally take me or other soft toys with her any more.  She happily toddles off to play with her friends and comes home full of smiles, yummy food and carrying her latest art work proudly to the fridge door.

Tomorrow Lovely Lady Lynda from Church is coming to look after the little Lady- all being well- because Mummy and Daddy are going to go and buy a car and they thought is was a bit mean to drag the little Lady in and out of cars all morning...the Lady plays with Lynda during the children's work at church sometimes and they're becoming fast friends...which is good!  But it sometimes means I get left on the floor...and one time I nearly ended up in the cupboard for a whole week as the Lady forgot to collect me from the floor and I got scooped up and packed away with all the church toys.  I was frightened until Mummy came and rescued me.

It's a busy life for such a small bunny rabbit...

I wonder what next week will bring.
