While in Chiswick

M goes to school 5 days a week from about 9:30 am to 4:30 or 5:oo pm. When she gets home there is a routine that starts first with washing hands. Because of the babies there was constant washing of hands. M. coming straight from play school was no exception!

Then catch a show or two. This one was " Tokoro" on her own little computer.

Mickey Mouse is also a big hit at the house. There were so many times I wanted a video of that scene...M. seated in front of the tv, riveted, snack eaten, if it was eaten at all, unknowingly. J and I, one or the other with a feeding baby in arm, both staring in equal mesmorized states, at one version after the other of Mickey Mouse and pals. In the semi darkness, when we spoke at all, it was to voice opinions as to which characters we liked best.t. Pete, for example, is a bit confusing. Is he good, bad or dumb?

This inert scene however always ended with the Hot Dog Dance that comes at the end of each Mickey Mouse show. Up jump all, including the mama or gammy with the feeding baby to join the cast and Marlena in the dance. I did a mean Goofy and J was superb as Minnie Mouse. Hot Diggity Dog!
