P365 – Day 361 – the pirate caterpillar (and year in review 8/12)
Juniordwarf helped me in the garden. What I mean is, he played in his sandpit while I spent hours clearing out vegetation from various parts of our yard. Then he wanted me to fill his little clam shell pool up. I didn’t want to say no, because I’d already...
P365 – Day 339 – i wear my mittens at night
Juniordwarf has two pairs of fingerless gloves. Red ones and blue ones. He calls them ‘mitttens’. Recently he’s started wearing his ‘mittens’ to bed, ‘to keep [his] hands warm’. Sometimes he wears socks too, to keep his feet warm. Of course. The funny thing about this is, he’s often...

A few weeks ago, when it was particularly cold, I was thinking I needed a warm beanie that I wouldn’t be too embarrassed to wear in public. The one I normally wear (for dog walking, in the dark) is a plain black one, and whenever I wear it I...
P365 – Day 119 sticker day (29/04/2011)
It was my turn to have a day off work to look after Juniordwarf during school holidays. He discovered some sticker booklets in the kitchen drawers (left overs from party bags) and announced ‘Friday is sticker day’. He then proceeded to award himself stickers (from various teachers at his...
