Wed morn – a school day 7:30am
i like to always wake daisy in a gentle and quietish fashion, hes not big on alarms.
i walk into her room and stroke her face ever so slightly and whisper ‘daisy, its time to wake up’
with that she jumps out of bed frightening the life out of me and shouts “IVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS WAKING ME UP EVERYDAY STUFF – NOW LEAVE ME ALONE TO DO MY OWN THING, I QUIT SCHOOL, IM NEVER GOING AGAIN IM GOING TO SLEEP FOR JOB.”
she then snuck back under her duvet and snuggles down looking like and angel…..a jekyll and hyde angel that is.

“MUUUUUUM, Xavier is kicking me in the nuts!
—-and there is my cue on explaining about genitalia etc….

Daisy has a rather bad rash under her lower lip. Shes not a fan of having magic cream on, but reluctantly put some on before bed. i put a tiny amount on with the knowledge i’d just put some on in her sleep without her knowing.
about 2am…..i creep intro her room and put some cream on.
To my total suprise, she jumped up shouting…
“NOW I KNOW WHAT YOU DO ALL NIGHT”!

ok so myself and my daughter are ill in our beds. my two and half year old son has pretty much gotten over his ear infection so is playing upstairs so i can keep my eye on him. Pretend food is the toy of the hour.
Xavier: Mummy – i make you dinner – make you better
me: that would be excellent Xavier, thank you very much.
—– i give him few minutes in his room and listen to him preparing the dish—–
he comes into my room. hiding a basket of food behind his back. and puts a bowl on my lap
xavier: what you like mummy?
me: errrrrm eggs?
xavier: yes –he puts some pretend eggs on my plate
me: vegetables?
–he puts lots of pretend veg on
me: chicken?
—-he puts a cute little full roast chicken on my plate
me: bacon?
with that he reaches in his basket and puts in a toy figure – peppa pig.
*smart arse*

Daisy: Mum?
Me: yep?
Daisy: can i have some chewing gum
Me: wait til after dinner baby
Daisy: THATS NOT FAIR
Me: ok doo, chill out ok.
Daisy then lowers her eyebrows, does and air grab and makes a gruff voice and says:
I am now about to fight for power…….and justice.
Im still cacking myself.
