last nights conversation with the 9year old.
I said something about the Grand Canyon and he said 'is it a mesa biome?'
I'd never heard that word before so I said 'what the heck is a biome', thinking he was talking gibberish. so he went on to explain it.
I googled it too just to be fully clear on what it was.
felt like a total gobsh!te, but I was dead proud of him for teaching me something.
I asked him where he learned that from, and the answer was, Minecraft!
both of us had a good laugh at that0 -

My ds is a nature and dinosaur expert. He watches EVERYTHING on the topics and is constantly teaching me stuff. Ha. They are amazing.0 -
Yesterday evening, as we were winding down before bed time our little girl stood up (independent of any support) for the first time. It was so unexpected. She was just doing one of her usual yoga poses
and then she just pushed her hands off the ground stood upright. She was WEAK for herself, screaming laughing (as were we). That's definitely up there with the "big moments" of her little life so far. It was so surreal to see her standing and clearly delighted with herself 0 -

My 3 year old has been busy making up names for all her buddies in her pre-school class. mainly based on their favourite foods she tells me, unless they don't have a favourite food.
Ronan is Roni-Macaroni.
Matilda is Tilly
Bobby is Chicken The Wicken.
Daniel is Mince Pie
Oh, and she has renamed herself "The Cat" or "Cats" for short.
Sounds like a rock band in the making. 0 -

So for months now whenever our daughter (now 15 months old) sees us pouring a glass of water is always goes "aahhhhh" (imitating us as if she's just had a cool refreshing drink herself). Yesterday, I was carrying her in the kitchen and asked my wife to boil some water, and she goes "aahhhhh". It probably sounds like the smallest of things but it was so cool to realize that she understood the word 'water' and made the connection to say "aahhhhh" 0
