Bob saves the day

When we got back from our afternoon out we gathered the dogs and headed out for a walk. No sooner had we made our way outside had Olivia fallen front down in a sticky puddle of mud on the newly fertilised sport field next door. She was covered from neck to knee in the disgusting smelling black goop and was carried home at arms length, screaming her poor lungs out in shock, and taken immediatly to the bathroom to be washed and disinfected.
I fell into my Grandparents drain when I was, maybe, not much older, and I remember I suffered the same fate - like Mother, like daughter I guess.
Anyway, all was not lost. We had one last surprise for Olivia- a Bob the Builder ice cream cake (ok the ice cream bit was for Ashley, but the Bob part was 100% dedicated to Olivia). She loves Bob (and Dora the Explorer, as already mentioned). Olivia is not much of a talker, but she is quite the singer and strangely enough, 6 months ago, her first word(s) were "Bob the Builder" sung with perfect rhythmn.
She gets very excited to see anything Bob related, although UK originated Bob is not as commonplace as the culturally relevant Spanish speaking Dora is, to the North American market. Either way she loves them both, and Bob certainly made up for the earlier blight on the day. Posted by Picasa
