Did my grocery shopping today which was quite successful. Still have to find mince and tuna – I suspect there is a bit of a tuna shortage (what, in the South Atlantic Ocean?) Yes, the catches haven’t been good lately, and most of the fish gets exported. Caleb found all the toilet rolls in their individual wrapping, so of his own accord, he unwrapped them and put them in the wicker basket. He also unpacked all the rest of the bathroom goodies into their right places, finding homes for everything. Then he took all the toilet roll wrappings, put them in a packet, and took them outside for the rubbish truck (which next comes on Friday, mind you). Then he realized that the packet was very light and the wind would probably carry it away, so he tied it to the golf’s exhaust pipe. You’ve got to love that kind of thought and creativity!
Aaron still does all the wrong things, like drinking bath water and throwing toys at the TV screen. But he tries to do the right things too, so he’ll tell me that he didn’t put his hands on the walls, and he didn’t pick his nose or his lip, and he didn’t spill his juice…shame, he really does try. Sometimes his lessons just take longer to sink in, so a few smacks are necessary along the way.
Can’t find many potatoes in the shops anymore – I went to Queen Mary’s because they had been advertising them for £4 for a bag, but unfortunately they were old stock and not nice anymore, so they’re not for sale. Catherine, who runs the toddler’s group and works at Queen Mary’s, said that she had taken out the best potatoes, but since she had some at home, I could buy these. I felt bad taking them but she insisted, so I had to. How often do you find shop staff handing over their set-aside merchandise for a customer?
