Energy!

Is the name of the band who won the Danish song contest for children. It's so much better than the adult song contest, I think. (I miss when all the countries sang in their own language. It was so much more entertaining!) Well, back to the danish childrens song contest MGP it's called. It's brilliant, the children write their own music and lyrics, do their own little dance routines and they're all so cute. We watched the show 3 weeks ago. The princess loved it and we got her all the 10 songs on CD.
Result: She now knows all the ten songs by heart! Her bedroom door is closed for hours, music playing loudly and the princess singing even louder!
Suddenly silence and we all have to come in.

"Please put your hands in the air...!" 

Look at the concentration!

She's so much cooler than I was at her age. There was no childrens song contest but I loved it every year when the european songcontest was on. I tried to memorise all 30 songs in their original language so I could sing them in front of my mirror. I had a hairbrush as a microphone!
Maybe you can imagine what that sounded like....!!?? Not good I tell you!

The princess and the little man.

4½ years ago....

She did it again!

Asked me if she can have this thing of mine when I die.... This time it was an item of clothing, last time it was a pen (read)! Guess I should be flattered as it must mean my 6 year old daugther likes what I wear. To be fair she did ask me first if she could have it when I grew out of it. When I answered that I didn't really plan on growing any bigger she shrugged her shoulders and asked "Can I have it when you die then?"

It's this lovely thing my dear friend in England bought me last Easter. It's my favourite thing to wear!

Do you have a favourite item of clothing? Do your children want them?

Beach Style!

A day at the beach last summer. The beach is only ten minutes from our house and we do go there in all kinds of weather. Thought it had to be a sunny picture from there for you to see. There were lots of little harmless jellyfish in the water that day, which made the little man and the princess a bit wary of going in the water.

Why wouldn't you swallow a stone....

Today, first day of half term, the princess, don't forget she's 6, swallowed a stone. I thought things like that were way in the past. Like putting things up your nose is a toddler thing. (read) Clearly I was wrong! She has had this clear blue shiny, smooth stone the size of a pound coin in her room for a while. A bit like this...

She's used it for lots of different things when she played. Today she swallowed it.... To be honest I'm glad it smoothly went all the way down instead of getting stuck. I didn't need to tell her off as the fear in her eyes seemed punishment enough. Instead we had a safety talk about why things do not go in your mouth, except food! I also told her that this story would have to be told over and over again in the future.. That - she didn't like so I'm pretty sure she won't swallow a stone again! I rang the doctor to check if we just wait for it to come out the other end... we do! So the next 24 hours or so, another job has to be done.... I'll leave that to your imaginations!
I have to ask, is it just my children who have to try these things? Would love to hear from you guys, if your children have been up to similar things? Or worse...!
