Daddy wasn't paying attention and Grace locked the toilet door while we were out today and she wasn't able to open it again (the lock is just hard to turn on that toilet). Normally it is easy to open toilet doors – just use a coin or something to turn the lock from the outside, BUT (a) the lock is hard to turn, and (b) the outside turning part of that lock has been stripped – clearly too many people and children have been locked in there before. Fortunately we managed to get it open with some help from the centre staff and Grace appears to have brushed it off quite quickly. Maybe that will help to insetil the lesson that she should never lock the toilet door.

Grace has been loving holiday school, and our plan was to send her for this week, but let her stay at home on Monday before school starts on Tuesday. With her loving it so much we asked her if she wanted to go on Monday, or stay at home, At first she wanted to say at home, but then after some thought she say, "Go to holiday school. Home is boring." Unfortunately I can't fault her for this statement – school with arts, crafts, other children and playtime is way more fun than daddy working and mommy feeding Eli.
