Bonjour!

Good day, how is your family?
The words from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast song have been fervently sung these past few days. And judging from Georgia’s French pronounciation, I figured perhaps it’s time to expose her to a third language – Francais…
So tentatively we start her out saying…
“Bonjour, Je m’apelle Georgia-mae” -complete with French accents on [...]

Happy happy happy!

The wisdom of our children forever astounds.
A couple of days ago, after a fairly traumatic day which involved my often shouting – No! No! No! to Georgia, we had a very enlightening conversation. I’m sure all Parenting Experts will at this point say ’She’s challenging her boundaries’.

Gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile,
Don’t forget to scream.
Argh!

Row, row, row the boat
Gently down the river
If you see a polar [...]

A little friend – Ixchell

After her first day at nursery last week, Georgia came back telling me about her friend Ixchell.
The conversation went along the lines of

Who teaches the worms?

Georgia has been fascinated with the garbage trucks for some time now. Three kinds visit our area each week, the ‘worms’ truck that takes away all our compostable waste, the recyling truck that takes away glass, cans and generally everything recyclable (except plastic milk bottles!) and finally the rubbish truck that takes away everything else.
This morning [...]
