We've been sticking and gluing again (of course we have - LA is 3!!!!). As usual we ended up more sticky and gluey than the paper.
So I gave her a bowl to wash her hands in, which led predictably to LA doing her Dolly's washing.
There was a lot of washing, Dolly's can be very dirty creatures. When the washing was done it was followed (naturally) by this:
We have feasted on playdough biscuits and poured orange juice on the rug, twice.
When Rich got in from work, BA, MA and I ran away to do some shopping. We had a good discussion about how everyones childhood is different, even siblings, and how parents treat different children differently and the pros and cons of that. For example BA had his Mum at home 24/7 until he was almost 3, but his Dad was away a lot working. MA had to share her Mum and Dad with BA from the start, went to a childminders part-time with BA from the age of 1 and went to Nursery full time at the age of 3. But then she remained the baby of the family until she was 12 when LA arrived.
However, we agreed that every child does have a very different experience, and none of them is necessarily wrong.
My children are all lovely people, I am a very lucky person.
