Something fishy

Little miss discovered the joys of soap the other day. Thank the gods!

She had come out from the bathroom after soaking in an inch of water for a minute (aka bathing) and lamented about a horrid fishy smell.

I raised an eye brow and informed her of a few facts regarding girls who do not bathe properly.

"No" she protests, it must be her towel. Not so we discovered.

I make her sit in the bath and sniff herself.

"Ewww! It is me Mum".

Finally! The child decides from hence forth she will bathe properly. Hallelujah.

Of course, noone will ever mention that it was actually the filthy bath mat which stank. =)

The Shrugger

It's sounds like an enemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but it is our very own Chicky who is The Shrugger. When he wishes to show his displeasure, disapproval or just wants to say "no", he shrugs his shoulders furiously, usually accompanying it with this high pitched "no".

Then there is the "yes". "Esss" he says in an even higher pitched voice. So very cute.

Honestly, if the kid wasn't so damn cute I think we'd drown him.
