Me:  ”Yeah that would be funny babe.”
Miss M:  ”So, my would be bigger than you, and you would be getting little.  You would have to sit on my knee.”

Two is good

I blumming love these kids.

I love that they love each other.
I love that they actually like each other most of the time too.

At moments like this when I see them together before me, I’m so so glad I have two children.

You Can Only Sit On My Knee if You’re Wearing Underpants

Me:  ”M, if you don’t want to get dressed, you should at least put your pants on.  I don’t really want bare bottoms on my knee.”

Inside the head of a four year old

We’re driving home from another busy day.  We’ve seen friends and family, been to the park, shopped, and had lunch at a nearby pub, me and my girls.  
As we wend our way through shiny puddled streets, I glance in the mirror.  Miss E is sat back in her chair, eyes fixed on her window [...]

So why was I in London?
Well, Disney, and the fabulous Kerry and Kate at Think Parents invited the Blu Ray Ambassadors down to old London town to be filmed talking about the fabulousness that is Disney Blu-Ray.
