Yesterday Top Ender, Baby Boy, Daddy and I went to the hospital so that some tests could be run on Top Ender and Baby Boy due to the just found out risk of a genetic heart defect in my extended family.
Whilst we were waiting Top Ender found some play food in the play kitchen and soon was busy making dinner for Daddy, Baby Boy and me. She found several different foods including one we could decide on; it was either a cucumber or a courgette.
"I know!" she suddenly exclaimed to the surprise of the Hospital Nursery worker and Daddy.
"How's that then?" I asked
"Sniff it." With which she did. "Yup doesn't smell like cucumber so must be courgette."

Top Ender Giggles - They make it difficult
Top Ender reported back that during the Morning yesterday she had a vision and hearing test at school. I asked her how it was, was it difficult that sort of thing to which she replied;
"No it wasn't too hard. They make it difficult though!"
"Do they? How?"
"Well when you read the letters on the line they get smaller as they go along!"
"Imagine that!"
"Yeah and I didn't hear some of the sounds as they were too quiet!"
"Well yes that would be a reason for not hearing them"
"They should just keep the letters big and the noises loud and then there would be no problem"
Well there is a sense in this I suppose!

Top Ender Giggles - Breakfast is da dope!
Daddy reported it back to me last night that when Baby Boy was downstairs with me yesterday morning and he was helping Top Ender to get dressed they were discussing breakfast.
"Daddy will you make me breakfast instead of Mummy?"
"Sure, whys that though?"
"Mummy said she would give me weed for breakfast."
"Weed?"
"Yes. She has given it to me before when you weren't here"
At this point Daddy was a little confused and was trying to work out what on earth she meant as he was pretty sure that I am against drugs and wouldn't be supplying our daughter! He must of looked confused as Top Ender started to elaborate.
"She said it was shredded weed"
"Shredded weed?"
"Yes and she said that cousin likes it too"
"Top Ender do you mean Shredded Wheat?"
"Oh! Yes wheat"
"Daddy will you make me breakfast instead of Mummy?"
"Sure, whys that though?"
"Mummy said she would give me weed for breakfast."
"Weed?"
"Yes. She has given it to me before when you weren't here"

Top Enders very own Soap Opera
Top Ender has a great imagination. Sometimes she says things that have me wondering where on earth she got the initial seed of an idea from so that it could develop in to the scenario she is involved in. Just last week as we were walking home from the local shop she was telling me about her divorce from her invisible husband.
Turns out that they were going to his Grandmothers second wedding, and were all dressed up when he jumped in a puddle covering them both in dirty water which ruined the clothes they were wearing. She told him that that wasn't nice to which he replied huh and blew a raspberry and told her if she felt like that then they should get a divorce... and so they did.
Today however he seems to have won her back over as Baby Boy and I were invited to their wedding. We had to sit in the living room and wait for his family to arrive and to save money Top Ender did her own makeup, but got me to do her hair. They decided to have a sit down meal instead of a party and luckily nothing has happened yet to spoil the bliss of married life, but her father in law is drinking a bit much so might start something later.

Baby Boy for Show and Tell
Baby Boy has started crawling as a method of getting from one piece of furniture he can cruise along to another. This has caused great delight from Top Ender who shrieks with delight "He's crawling again!" as if she someone how imagines he will have forgotten how to do it overnight.
She wanted to take him in for show and tell today to show that he could crawl, but thinking on the subject decided that it was probably a bad idea as he would crawl out of the show and tell drawer under the teachers chair and cause problems in the classroom with the other children!

Top Ender Giggles - Not an option
We went to the Doctors at the start of the week as a second cousin of mine has discovered that she has a heart problem, which is apparently heriditry. This means that me or Top Ender or Baby Boy could have it too.
Whilst we were sitting listening to the Doctor typing away on the keyboard writting a letter to a consultant or two about this Top Ender whispered in my ear, If you come to my funeral make sure they know not to burn me. I don't want that.
We went to my Gran's funeral last week and she was cremated, so I think that she was adding all the information she had up and getting the worse case scenario.

Catch up
Top Ender started school this past September so technically she is now a school girl not a top ender, but I think that Top Ender sounds a whole lot cuter so we will stick with that!
Baby Boy is now able to sit up on his own and I think he is going to skip the crawling stage. At the moment he is busy trying to stand and he seems to prefer being in a semi standing position to anything else. Which is fine as it means my arm muscles are being built up!
Top Ender has been reading everything and anything in sight (pleased I made all those word cards now!) since she realised that recognising words is all that reading is about! I was really pleased with her as it means that she is reading at the same age as Daddy and I (we both read before we went to school, which if this was the 80's Top Ender wouldn't be in full time school for another half term or so!) and she has so much more confidence in herself now.
