Bilingualistic Woes
So this week and last week I've been making regular trips to the outside world in order to find a DVD for Joseph that features both Spanish and English language options. Two trips in, my quest appears to be completely fruitless, unless I try and wangle it so that family in Spain receive the DVDs and then send them on to me or I order region 1 DVDs (which will require unlocking my DVD player, something I'm reticent but willing to do).
Furthermore, these slightly less than epic quests are hampered by the fact that the children's DVD section is right next to the Brio display and guess who doesn't like leaving the shop after his mother discovers her search fruitless...
Also, today I took him to get his feet measured and found him to be a Clarks 6.5G which means absolutely nothing to me. Anyway, the end result is that now I need to justify the spending of £28 on a new pair of shoes for him or call my parents and ask them nicely if they don't mind getting him some new shoes... which reminds me, I need to call and check that my family hasn't overloaded them with 1,000,001 pairs of Josephsized shoes (they measured his foot with a stick, cut the stick to the right length and are using that to make sure the shoes are roomy and spacious enough for him.).
In any case, this is a much longer update than I intended and it's full of baby-related crap that probably no-one in the world cares about... though that said, once upon a time my sister read this and I'm fairly sure there's someone else out there that cares.
ps. yes, I know there's no such word as "bilingualistic" I used it cause it sounds better than "zOMG why is everything in England in English?" which was a self answering question and besides, I can understand why it's all in the native language it just peeves me that my plan was thwarted.
