Georgia is fascinated with gadgets and basically anything that looks as if it may make life a little easier. She has been impressed by the walk-in baths, the ones with the doors on the side, and fascinated by walking sticks.
So one day as we were getting ready to get in to the bath,
G: Mummy when [...]

It’s amazing how Georgia’s english grammar is almost always perfect. We have never attempted to teach or explain to her why we use past tense or present tense – she seems to have picked it up perfectly.
This is evident in the use of : Brang…
As Georgie would say, I brang this baby here today.
After all, [...]

We’re in the car travelling back home from Cardiff when a little voice in the back seat asks:
G: Mummy, when were you a baby?
Me: Oh that was quite a long time ago.
G: So where was I when you were a baby?
Me: You were not born yet…
G: Yes but where was I?

Having arrived back from a busy London trip on Tuesday, 31st March, we were lucky to have managed to pull off the Undy Nursery trial session without too much challenge.
Given that 1-3pm is usually nap time – Georgia did exceedingly well, and was very well behaved at the trial session. She was not particularly keen on letting [...]

Daddy knocked his knee on the dining table.
Georgia looks up at him and says “Daddy, say sorry to yourself!”
A little distraction…

It’s hard to find ‘the’ balance, and harder still when it’s emotionally relevant.

Every morning when we drop Daddy-dear off at the train station, Georgia blows him a kiss and says
“Goodbye…My Snoopy Dear”

A couple of mornings ago, downstairs in the kitchen, Georgia announces very confidently,
“Mummy’s a boy!”
So I ask her, “Oh, when did I become a boy?”
To which her immediate reply was “On Sunday. When Daddy became a girl!”

There are many times when I feel very fortunate to now live in a culture so diverse and so ‘alien’ to the one in which I was raised, and yet, it is just as often that I feel this maddening frustration of what I feel is an internal culture clash – particularly with regards to [...]
