      Daisy, I told DD1 about that when I was babysitting last night. She laughed out loud

        Yesterday DD2 texted to tell me baby, aged 8 months had had toast. His sister aged 7 had looked very grave and told her mummy she didn't think this was at all a good idea! Luckily baby GS loved it and no choking incidents

          Gem - Oh, I can just imagine her expression - these mummies are so reckless with their baby siblings.

          Thank goodness there were no mishaps with the toast.

            Oh what a little sweetie she is Gem,looking out for her little brother. Glad she was proved wrong though.
            I think babies of an appropriate age love to suck on toast.

                  Excellent - better than the original version I'd say!

                      6 year old GS's wobbly tooth fell out today, it's the first tooth he has lost so the 'rules' of the tooth fairy needed clarifying.

                      Mummy "You will need to put that tooth under your pillow for the tooth fairy. She will take and leave you some money "
                      GS. "How much will she leave"
                      Mummy. "I'm not sure, when I was a little girl I think it was about 20p "

                      GS. "It will be £40 now "

                      That's inflation for you ! Can we blame the huge increase on Brexit I wonder?
                      Bring me sunshine in your smile.

                            I forgot to post this yesterday. DS1 and family had stayed over night after our family get together on Tuesday. DIL and I were in the kitchen mid-morning, when GS1(who is autistic) came running in saying Eva the dog had scratched my OH's eye badly. We ran into the living room to find OH sitting calmly on the sofa looking none the worse for wear. Without thinking I exclaimed that I'd expected to see OH's eyeball bouncing across the floor. GS1 takes things very literally, and his face was a picture! He looked from face, to floor and back again and went quite pale. We had to explain hurriedly that I was exaggerating.

                                Not long before Christmas DD1 got new next door neighours. When I was at the house one day DD remarked to GS, 4, how nice it would be if Grandma lived next door. GS said nothing. 'Wouldn't you like Grandma to live next door?!' asked his mum.
                                GS immediately replied ' No! There are no toys!'

                                DD explained that I would bring the toys with me, and everything else. That when you moved home you took everything with you.
                                Not obvious to a child has never moved or have any awareness of anyone moving I suppose.
