Playing Megadrive

I remember as a kid thinking “Wouldn’t it be great to be able to play Sonic the Hedgehog all day!”. Now I have a 4 year old, who also likes to “play” sonic, I’m not all so sure I’d want that wish any more. X: “Can I play Sonic please?” Me: “Of course you can, …

Tiredness

B Cuddle Pyjamas

Sometimes, all the thoughts going through B’s brain get too much for her.

Dinner Incident

After his illness last night X was very tired this evening. He dropped off to sleep just as we were finishing cooking dinner. We just let him have a nap and ate ours in the kitchen. To be honest, it was really nice to just sit and eat but part of me almost needs to …
