Blow me over

Last night I had dinner almost ready. The boys were playing a game on the Lion Kind DVD, and had done so a few times already. This is dialogue of the next few minutes.....

Will - "Mum, tea's almost ready, isn't it?"
Me - "Yes, sweetheart"
Will - "Tom, we had better turn it off now"
Tom - "Oh, OK, I suppose we have already done it three times"

...Will turns off DVD...

Tom - "Mum, can we start tidying up now?"

Some one could have knocked me over with a feather about then!! It is reassuring that very rarely, little insights of parenting achievements pop into reality, and we haven't been imagining the last six years of endless days of 'teaching' our kids the right things to do, say and act.

There is hope for the future.

Out of Sync - but great pics of my 'middle mister'

All fairly self explanatory!!

The bottom is yes, Will playing cricket......but the bat was lovingly made by Grandad out of a fence paling (with some bits 'jig-sawed' out) and some electrical tape wrapped aroung the handle for 'padding'. Will was WRAPT!!
