I took Jake out on the bike at the weekend. I don’t mean my hybrid,I mean his little fluorescent green number. He actually suggested going for a ride so I think he may have been riding one of the bikes at school. We walked over to Hilly Fields and then took a spin down the hill towards the Bowling Green.
Within no time he was whizzing along. I was very impressed. He quickly learnt how to brake and steer properly.
The second first is that Jake has got head lice. He was itching his head while we were having a drink in the Lewisham Centre. I had a look and found one of the bugs. Later on that evening I was applying a treatment to his hair and scalp. Jake didn’t seem fazed at all. I plucked one of the lice and showed it to him and he was very interested.
Amy’s first night away was full of drama. Trudi phoned up saying that Laurie had eaten some flu pills and could I look after Gabriel while they went to the hospital. When I told Jake he was extremely excited. They both were as good as gold and went to bed nicely after reading a couple of stories; ‘Colour me magic’ and ‘Toby’.
I spoke to Trudi in the morning. They found one of the pills in his nappy. Happily Laurie is fine :-).
