Day 1.160: What's so funny?

I came home from work in time for all seven of us to sit down for a meal together this evening. E5N1 was in mixed form - extremely cheerful when happy and then suddenly beating on the tray of his high-chair in frustration and shouting about it at the top of his voice.

Eventually Exile #2 exclaimed, "What are we going to do with you?"

"Send him to bed," sighed Exile #4. Then, "Why is everybody laughing?"

We never did find out what was going on with him - just impatient for everything I think - and a little tired. We put him to bed.

The rest of the evening was punctuated by Exile #3 uttering variations on "Yippee the day is over!" Not that she's had a bad day, but tomorrow is her birthday and unlike Exile #4 a week and a bit ago, she is unlikely to find each birthday related event a joyful surprise - not that I expect that to spoil it for her one bit.

Talking of joyful surprises, Exile #4 loved these rainbow-coloured bubbles. The girls made up an elaborate story around them that I never got my head around. Last bubble picture (for now) I promise.
