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.

My favourite gadget, my ‘precious’

Dropping my ‘precious’

February 13, 2011 by bibsey mama 1 Comment

I dropped the blogging machine yesterday: my beautiful MacBook Pro apple-side-down on the cold hard Spanish tiles.
