Pretty In Pink

A legless Chickie greeted me this morning. It seems he has a penchant for stripping, something to add to my “Worry About Later” List. His sleeping bag and new pyjama bottoms had both been thrown overboard and his chubby legs were exposed to the elements – this one was added to my rapidly expanding “Worry About Now” List.

The day that followed had it’s highlights and it’s lowlights. We popped round to Meerkat Manor for an impromptu lunch. Afterwards, the menfolk cleared off down the pub to watch footie and the girlies were left holding the babies as usual.

Accountant returned so late, I had to bath Chickie with The Poff. Five minutes into the ‘Splish Splash Splosh’ competition, a shocked Poff and Chick were suddenly evacuated from their bath after Chickie, once again, mistook the water for his nappy. Two stunned babies stood at the bathside in their matching hoodies, whilst LucyWucy decontaminated the bath, mat and a whole farmyard full of, now, bacteria squirting animals. Babies were then hosed down. I think LucyWucy wished the Flash spray could be used on babies as she looked at her poor baby girl who had effectively been pooped on by her boyfriend.

As I hadn’t anticipated being at Meerkat Manor for so long, I was unprepared for bath and bedtime. LucyWucy kindly provided the necessaries – nappies, bottle, minky, pyjamas!

When Accountant set eyes on his little boy, he was less than pleased.
