My Mummy has now been my Mummy for nearly ten months. It's time I updated my ratings of her performance as a Mummy.
Availability: 2/10
Mummy has actually started to LEAVE me in places. As in, for SEVERAL HOURS. Regularly. On purpose. With OTHER PEOPLE.
Food: 4/10
Unbelievably, Mummy has started to cut things out of my diet. Just when I thought she was getting somewhere, too. I haven't tasted cheese for weeks, and the vegetable count is suspiciously high.
Physical Care: 2/10
Our bathroom is starting to look like an extension of the kitchen. This is because Mummy keeps putting food in my bath. First it was porridge oats, which made the water all slippy and milky. Now she's dunking Rooibos tea-bags in there. Despite this, she still won't let me drink the bathwater. What's all that about?!
Environment: 8/10
I can stand up! By myself, without holding on, look, no hands!
Entertainment Value: 10/10
I've worked out a new way to wind Mummy up. All I have to do is repeat a word or a sound that she says, and then never say it again. The results are hilarious to watch. "Jeremy! Did you say duck?! Say it again! Duck! Duck! Duckduckduck! Duck?" She goes on for hours. She finds all the ducks in the house, pulls duck faces, makes duck noises - it's classic entertainment, really. Tomorrow I'm going to say Penguin and see if I can make her waddle.

It's not that I actually mind when it happens. Mostly, the other people are very nice and have decent toys. It's the sheer AUDACITY of it that I object to.

It's a wobbly, short-lived stand, but still! Everything looks different from up here. The carpet looks slightly cleaner, and the table top looks slightly grubbier. I like a bit of variation in my view.
