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.

Don’t look down

February 7, 2011 by bibsey mama 1 Comment

Parental advisory. My god, never before have those words been so poignant. There are sooo many reasons not to look down anymore (or straight ahead at the bathroom mirror).

Noisy, noisy, noisy Spain

February 6, 2011 by bibsey mama Leave a Comment

It is positively spring-like here in Andalucia. The blossom is out on the hillsides and we are walking everyday with the Bibsey in the backpack (an item right up there on our list of baby kit we could not have done without).
