I’m sure my daughter looks like a right little yuppie. She goes through the shops shouting, “I want a Babycino!” and people smile. But this is totally misleading. She explained to my mother the other day: “Mummy calls Babycinos marshmallows, but I call them Babycinos.” The general tone was that Mummy is an idiot.
The other funny thing was when we got home from Singapore, she couldn’t wait to see Australia. As my father picked us up and drove us home, she was so excited. Then we pulled into the carport and she started to wail, “This is not Australia, this is just home, wanna go Australia!” In vain, we tried to explain that home = Australia, but she’s still not convinced. She tells people in a very knowing tone, “Papa [my Dad] calls this place Australia, but it’s just home.”
Kids are a laugh a minute. Mostly. We’re having issues with getting a small person to sleep at the moment which is a bit frustrating, but otherwise, she’s a delight.

My three year old…
“Dopey, dorky Daddy”
….Errrrrrrrrrrr!
They will come out with clangers…my daughter told me the other day, “Your bottom is very big.” Well, it’s definitely comparatively bigger than hers, but very big? You’ve just got to laugh.
Nanu: ROTFL.
The other day while on the phone to his nana my son (all of four years old) declared with great seriousness “running is very good exercise you know”, which he had obviously got from his mother, I was just blown away by just how stern he was.

Being sledged by a three year old is no laughing matter!
