1. I logged into Facebook the other day to find a friend request from my grandmother. She lives quite a while away (not insanely far but far enough for me as I don't drive) and we don't speak much, so I was glad to see her on there - if a little shocked because she's not great with computers!

1. Awards. Goldilocks was very pleased to come home with a Merit Award on Monday, given to her for "fantastic participation in Welsh activities".  I have blogged before about how much she loves to speak Welsh and I'm hopeful that her enthusiasm may help her focus in the classroom.

1. Little Bear's First Steps. They were to Big Bear, of course! He's always been the favourite which is actually really nice to see.

1. New Bathroom - On Wednesday I had yet another scan and actually got out first thing in the morning to do the school run and get on my way. In between the school run and going to the hospital, Big Bear and I popped for a brief visit to the New House and he showed me the progress he'd made. The best sight was definitely the upstairs bathroom - everything tiled and plumbed in just the way a bathroom should be! It was lovely to see and I can't wait to start using it!

1. Goldilock's Waiter Shock - My Dad took me out for a lovely meal in an Indian restaurant on Saturday, to round up on my week-long 21st birthday! When the waiter came round to take our order for drinks, Goldilocks decided she wanted to be different. Instead of ordering Pepsi or lemonade like the rest of us, she put on her poshest tone and said "Sparkling water, please."

1. Goldilocks's Mock Caesarean - One week ago today, Goldilocks had a funny if rather frightening revelation. Picking up a pretend knife from her toy kitchen, she turned to me and said "If I cut your belly open, I will be able to see the baby. I hope this doesn't hurt!" 0_0
