Today I scrapbooked our holiday. I asked Emily and Jonty (individually) what they will always remember about the holiday... what were their highlights?
Jonty, after much prodding and prompting and after lots of sighs and lolling about and umming and aaahing in between, comes up with this list:
- the TV
- Plumsi
- the cabanas
- the trampoline
- swimming pool and the sea
- the fish I caught
- snorkeling.
That took about 30 minutes. It was like drawing blood out of a stone.
Onto Emily. Bouncing up and down, full of sunshine, she begins - “the friendly doggy, the nice beach with the pink shells, Room Number 6 - that was our room, the braids that I got on the beach, ice-creams, snorkeling, the nice doggy, the nice cold pool, the stones and rocks and walking on them and watching Jonty and Daddy fish from them; when Jonty caught a fish and Daddy caught two fish; the nice fishing rods, the breakfast pancakes and sausages, seeing coral under water (its so nice), the red stuff, the nice cave, it was so lovely, Evie, Abigail and Erin, Jonty’s grown-up friend that he snorkeled with, the trampoline, and swing on the rope - taking turns with Evie on the swing rope, games, the nice chocolate cake - but I didn’t actually like it so much but it looked nice; the Tooth Mouse and losing 2 teeth in one day, the market, Jatujak Market with the stones that I found and the nice soaps that I bought and the cute bunnies, oh and also the cute bunnies we saw when we went snorkeling....”
I’d been listening and scribbling notes for 5 minutes, but I had to stop her as I only have so much space available on the scrapbooking page.
There go her 20 000 words for the day. Jonty has some way to go to reach his quota of 10 000.
