Little ones are on holiday in a camper van until Friday! Back soon!

School Council

On the tube

This one's from a while back. The worst thing was the tube was stuck in a tunnel and the carriage was completely silent.

Failed Parenting Technique No.12: Pay no attention

The childcare manuals don't tell you what to do when they do this.

Granny comes to babysit

Swimming Lessons

Mother-to-be

This is NOT something a woman wants to hear two weeks before giving birth.

Ambition (a row between cousins)

Learning to read

One of the pre-school children came out with this in the park cafe this week.

Learning to share

My daughter tries to earn some money

Watching Dr Who with a little cousin

Bob comes a cropper with the stone angels.

The older man

Eastenders

'You come round 'ere, bold as brass, asking for a lullaby. You've gone too far this time, Phil...'

Inappropriate empathy

My son came out with this little corker after both children had refused to eat the meal their grandmother had cooked them.

Clothes shopping with the kids

I needed a chocolate bar to cheer myself up after this one.

A visit to Nanny Jessie's

Today at school dinners...

The kids are always finding disgusting things in their school dinner.

Girlfriend worries

My daughter has a row with her doll

Camping in Cornwall

The children's response to our credit crunch holiday last year.

Chipmunk

Starvation

Is cannibalism a sign of affection? If so, my daughter loves me very much.

Independence

In case anyone's worried, he did make it to school in one piece.

Reincarnation

Enough Education

Don't worry, just eleven more years to go!

The Reluctant Walker

This is my son enjoying the countryside. I don't think he quite got the point.

Telling the Time

The Juniors only get 20 minutes to collect, eat and clear their lunch. Some of them have got lunchtime down to 10 minutes by year six. I'm not surprised Edward forgot his non-existent napkin.

Granny's Loo

We went to visit Granny and Grandad's newly refurbished flat. Grandad is very kind to Granny, but I think my daughter's wrong on this one.

Good Learning

You can't beat state education! Everyone's a winner. The reception kids come out covered with stickers and they love it.

Pets

Pets are naked. My husband's noticed this too. He thinks that dogs should wear nappies.
