Christmas Interlude















Lets just say here ..... I have been there, got the T-shirt etc.
I recall lining up for at least an hour with my now Teen then aged 4 ish ..... who when meeting Santa flipped and ran through the grotto at a rate of knots with me chasing after not before having the where for all to grab the gift as we exited at speed (hey I had paid for it!!)

It is a nightmare but funny & cute when you have a kid who reacts like that .... you can tease them for years over it hee hee

but in a way, i think its a good memory to cherish. love that!!! ;)

yes being a mum does give you license to remember, bring up & tease when required. I call it revenge for the temper tantrums in the supermarket, and the very loud voice remarks that left me jaw struck when the youngster proclaimed.... ' Mummy why is that man dressed as a woman?'..... 'Mummy that man is so fat he wibble woobles like a Telly Tubby when he walks'

It has to be done ;-)

yeah! agree! somehow i have to agree with you on that! anyway, i was being a total chatterbox when i was a kid (at least that was wht my mummy told me). i keep on asking question on every single little thing i saw that amused me... it was horrible!

once, my mom told me, we were having a family road trip, and all the 8 hours drive, i was talking non-stop asking her everything i saw on the road!! it must annoyed her so much! :)

hee hee you sound so much like my daughter. From the moment she could make a sound she has never stopped being vocal and then asking questions when she was old enough to that :-)
I love it!
