Malta day 5 Going to Gozo!

Scarlett knows when I am in a hurry, so this morning she decided to have the biggest breakfast she has had all week. We're running late already after I forgot to set the 2nd alarm (always need at least 2 alarms in the morning. I find 5 in ten minute intervals usually works in getting me up.) 2 bits of toast, ham and eggs and eventually we were back outside waiting for our taxi. Scarlett was throwing her poor bubba and cuddly horsey in the air, I was waiting for the inevitable donk on the head of a person walking past but thank goodness it never happened! Instead Scarlett slipped over, laughed, then farted while trying to get back up and said "Wait, let me do it again!" We got the ferry across to Gozo, which is a sleepy little town. It was so relaxing going around on the open top bus and taking in the scenery especially the Azure Window which is just a wonder of the world. I could have just sat and looked through it pondering all day, I got to look at it for about 2 minutes before being dragged away to find ice cream. luckily I got some photos so I can pretend to be back there. The day went far too quick, we literally just had time to stop for a quick bite at an café and look round the shops. We went to one little shop and the lady which had really cute had knitted cardigans for children. The lady was pointing them out and saying to Scarlett "You like this one?" Scarlett shook her head and flatly said "No." After the lady had pointed out about 5 different cardis and Scarlett had said no to all of them, I apologised profusely and got out of there as fast as I could. She was starting to look quite offended (Both Scarlett and the lady.) We then went for a wonder down the little side streets, where we nearly got run over by a moped, and were called over by another lady to watch her making little lace bookmarks. Again Scarlett was un-amused and we swiftly paid for a bookmark and left. We got back onto the ferry to come home, rushing as usual. We got to the taxi on the other side and Scarlett said "I need a wee wee!" I dashed back into the ferry terminal after begging someone to tell the taxi not to leave without us (there were other people coming back with us in the taxi) the ran back out, got to the taxi and Scarlett said "My Shoe!" Her little ballet pump was lying in the middle of the road waiting to be ran over. Ballet pump rescued, wee wee stop completed and I collapsed into the taxi.....ahh it's all fun and games! Back in the hotel and Scarlett did the funniest thing. I was in the bath and she came in as asked if I could open one of her toys, I said "Yes, of course, please can you hold my book for me? Don't drop it." She Said "ok." Then went "Oooh" and pretended to drop it. It was soooo funny, I couldn't stop laughing! She never ceases to amaze me with everything she does. She is so perfect, although the little perfect angel did cause a drama at dinner. It's inevitable....plastic cup, straw, child playing at dinner time = juice all over child + chair + floor. Cue me running around grabbing all of the napkins I could find while the whole dining room stared. Don't worry, we're leaving tomorrow!
