Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

Glamp Lamp
Looks gorgeous, right? Butter wouldn’t melt? Wrong. She has just handed me the biggest bogie ever to have graced this house, wearing exactly this expression. Stay alert, people. And beware 5 year olds bearing gifts.

#oneweek: Autumn ~ Boobie, schmoobie, belly button and bow

November 16, 2012 by bibsey mama 3 Comments

To say that managing and two year old with your arm in a sling is tricky would be to understate it. I’d like to say that when she is good – eating-up, getting dressed, brushing her teeth, playing nicely with lego and puzzles, snuggling-down – she is very, very good, and when she is bad … [Read more…]

#oneweek: Autumn ~ Dancing in the moonlight

November 15, 2012 by bibsey mama 15 Comments

There is in my family some actual bona fide dance talent… but not in me sadly. The dance is not in me, it might be in my daughter, who knows. Anyway, I don’t let that stop me. We love a dance here at Bibsey Towers. Bibs and I can be found most afternoons having a … [Read more…]
