I’ve been away for the last couple of weeks and in that time, the Little Genius has been getting better and better at doing what he’s told (when he feels like it) Firstly, his mother and I are trying to teach him basic manners – say “ta” when you take something from someone. He doesn’t [...]
I’m going to express this feeling in the form of haiku. You can suck my big red car Jeff – sleep forever Wiggle Bay is special hell
Is it “DA-DA”? Could it be “TA-TA”? Maybe its “JAH-JAH”? One thing is for certain – attempts to try and teach basic manners (“ta” when you take something) results in a sound of some kind. He knows he needs to make a sound, so he makes the same (or to a deaf person like myself [...]
ok ok… For all the shit i put on The Wiggles for having *annoyingly catchy* music which my son enjoys, the fact of the matter is that they have annoyingly catchy music which *my son enjoys*. And for that i am thankful to them. “oh what’s that Xerx – an admission that you’re sorry? Your [...]

i just witnessed the most amazing example of mental development i think i ever have! McTurd was standing in the hall, walked over to the table where a whole lot of crap had been dumed after his birthday party (yes he is now walking). He found a set of mini screwdrivers and pulled it off [...]
I’m always fascinated to understand how Rat’s brain develops. He seems more and more capable each day, and going to work means I miss a lot of the little things that he does which his mummy gets to live first-hand. For instance, I was changing him into his PJs the other night, and (unprompted) he [...]
