Uh, oh

I was just putting together a few thoughts on weaning, getting quite emotional as I pitter-pattered away on my keyboard, when I became aware of how peaceful it was....

Uh, oh...

It was one of those silences………..

You know the ones that mean she is quietly doing something that is very definitely a ‘no no’, if not downright dangerous. Here it usually indicates she’s halfway up the stairs (after some negligent parent forgot to close the stairgate again) or happily munching into the cat food.

Sure enough, my daughter, who was sitting no more than three foot from her oblivious mum was at least half way through a tub of Vaseline. It was all over her little hands, smeared on her clothes and the remainder, presently unaccounted for, is presumed eaten.

I can’t wait for the nappies.

On the bright side, the poo should just slide right off!

Ha Ha HA! Just got caught myself. Was emailing NY and not paying attention to the small one walking back and forth from the chest freezer to the downstairs toilet with handfuls of alphabet magnets.... you can guess the rest. :)
Happy Monday! x

Ewwww. Junior once ate some fire lighters (not sure how much and yes I was worried)- his breathe was really stinky.
