Oh, doobie-doo…
…I wanna be like you-hoo-hoo! Bubs has discovered that it’s funny to copy and whether he’s parroting everything we say (recently heard words include ’sit!’ and ’sake!’ – Mummy’s potty mouth needs curtailing) or imitating our expressions and gestures, he’s giving a whole new meaning to the term ‘Mini Me’. Today I was getting dinner ready and he was climbing up my legs to get a closer look at what I was doing when I had a brainwave. I got a plastic bowl, a wooden spoon and a handful of raw macaroni so he could ‘cook’ dinner too. It was so funny, he sat there going ’stir, stir’ and ‘Mummy – dinner!’ for at least 20 minutes, which if you’re not familiar with toddler attention spans is the equivalent of oh, say…an aeon. By tomorrow I’m sure he will be like, SO over playing with macaroni but for today, it let me make a rockin’ pasta bake in relative peace 
P.S. I am annoying myself with these smiley faces – they are a lazy solution to a killer closing line. That’s the last one, promise.
One word Mrs, Gloop! It’s every toddlers dream. All you need is a box of cornflour, small amount of water, some food colouring and a large tray with sides. Put all ingredients into tray and leave your little man to play for literally hours and hours!! Warning…It does get messy, but think of all the other things you get done.
I made that stuff in science at school! I wonder if it’s safe to eat though – you just know he’d have to have a taste or six!
Well maybe not then! lol, Saf is passed the stage of stuffing everything in her mouth! Maybe leave the gloop for a few months x
