Camping, snot, the usual

We were camping this weekend. Everyone had a great time and Lauren had a breakthrough – she had a shower and did not freak out. Lauren has never been very keen on showers and if I have tried to bring her in with me before she has pushed away from me to avoid going under the shower. But Saturday she voluntarily said that she wanted to have a shower with me, and she did. She must have enjoyed it so much that she asked to join me this morning too. But the best part of this story is when Lauren went to school and told everyone we saw, very proudly – “we went camping and I had a shower with my mummy” and then walked into the classroom and repeated this very loudly. It seems that this was the hightlight of the trip.

Sam is learning to blow his nose – well in his version you take a tissue blow on it with your mouth and dispose of it, usually in the toilet. Then you come back for another tissue, peaking around the corner at mummy and smiling.
