This is going into the category of a bloglet viz it'll be brief. There's a book my husband bought me once the brat started pre-primary...it's called How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So Kids Will Talk.

Oh Snap!
The brat has his little friends. They can be quite a handful from time to time. One of them came over a little while ago and was practically nose-to-nose with the not-small t.v set.

It's finally just existing with what IS. Sometimes we are able to do it gracefully and other times it takes a … Continue reading Reblogged:Playing With The Hand You’re Dealt…
