Cool uncle!

When I first moved to London in 2002 and found my soulmate, he was playing in a band with his brother. Word of advice here, don't fall in love with the drummer if possible! I did and it's a lot of carrying around after each gig. Drums on the tube home late at night not the funniest! Anyway, it was pretty cool to have a boyfriend in a band! As time went on and the princess was born, my soulmate now a daddy as well, stopped playing in the band.  His brother carried on with writing his music, recording and playing gigs, now also an uncle and a very cool one! Cool uncle has just been to visit us this weekend and we heard some of his latest recordings. You can hear a couple of his older songs here.

As it's Music Monday over at http://clairejustineoxox.blogspot.com/ I thought this could be my Monday Music.

I got my lost hour back....

Yeah! The clock went back an hour in the night so that must mean I got my lost hour back, doesn't it? You can read all about my lost hour in this post I did 25 days ago.

Anyway pre-children I would have enjoyed an extra hour in bed reading or sleeping! But my little diglots do not have lie-ins regardless of whether they're given an extra hour or not. So the clock was showing the lovely early hour of 5.27am when we got up! Rise and shine..... So should I do something productive with my gained hour? Yeah, why not.....

So I baked....

The little man, the sticks and mummy.

Behind our garden there's a path that leads to a school where they have 2 goats. We sometimes walk there to say hello to the goats. It's only around 200 metres from us so not too long for me to walk. One afternoon the little man and I decided to go and say hello to the goats. I have a stick when I walk outside. When we got outside the little man was searching for something... He then picked up a long stick, grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said "Lets go mummy!"

I read this fantastic blog.

What language to sing in.....

Daddy and the little man were playing on the piano. Daddy asks the little man, should he teach him how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
No, the little man would like to sing the Butterfly song. Daddy does not know the Butterfly song. The little man starts singing Butterfly Butterfly then stops looks up at his daddy and says " Is it okay I sing it in Danish? "

Worms.....

... are so not my kind of thing. Really they're not. Nature things full stop are not my kind of thing. If the princess and the little man are to learn about nature, slimy little creatures (don't get me started on frogs) and such things, it surely can be done by professionals (nursery workers-teachers etc). Guess what happened when I went to pick the little man up from nursery yesterday? Him and his best friend were digging up worms and.... argh putting them in their mouths. The little man shouting: "Look mummy it's like spaghetti..." I was biting my tongue not to shout very loud "get that out of your mouth" didn't want to scare all the children at the nursery. So i played it cool and said as calm as I could manage "yeah, look at that..." doubt I sounded very enthusiastic but apperently worms are full of nutrients!

Welcome to Music Mondays!

Found this over at http://clairejustineoxox.blogspot.com/ and thought I'd join the fun!
Share a fun/favourite/happy/special/great/sad/horrible song of your choice. Just post your blog post with a song from Youtube and why you've picked this song then join the blog hop. Please hop around and see what songs others have picked. This is a no rules hop but please be family friendly.
I love this version of Over the Rainbow. Especially the Ukulele Mr. Schuester is playing! Ukulele is a funny word. Why call it that...? It's a small Guitar isn't it...? Brilliant word though, Ukulele! Anyway, I feel this is a Monday song!
