Bluet the predictive baby

Hey Bluet, do you think England will win Euro 2012?


You can stake your house on it! Bluet has never been wrong.

(The video is from last week when we were in Missouri, but since England are still in the competition, it is still v. useful).

Missouri summer break

This week we are in Missouri. On Friday we headed to Emily's sisters house; Bluet was delighted to be in a place with more than 2 rooms, stairs and a garden. We watched England beat Sweden in Euro 2012, and Bluet agreed that England were almost unwatchable until Walcott came on. Mind you, she slept through most of the game.

Bluet and her cousin Lila are almost big enough to play together. Unfortunalely at the moment both Bluet and Lila only want to play with a toy if the other one already has it. I feel that soon they will bond over their shared love of Elmo (although Bluet's favourite sesame street character is Murray). Bluet also became extremely excited by the cat, chasing her around the house.

Yesterday we went to the baseball; wisely we did not take Lila or Bluet, improving our ability to actually watch some baseball immeasurably. (Scott looked after Lila and Bluet at home, and Bluet kindly rewarded him with a 30 min nap rather than her usual 2-3 hours. I think she just wanted to watch more Euro 2012 action).

Taking our leave of Abatha and Scott's hospitality, this morning we drove to Emily's parents house. Bluet is asleep after a hard morning's chasing dogs and cats and playing in the paddling pool. The farmers are out farming. Emily is showering after a run. And I am watching Euro 2012 (come on Holland!)
