Daddy Giggles - Its the way he tells 'em!
Top Ender was sitting in the back of the car after a recent trip to the outdoor play shop (can you guess what we are researching?) and was reading through the catalogues that I had picked up.
"Cool! They do a Pirate ship!" she exclaimed
"Oooh Ahhh!" Answered Daddy in his best Cornish accent
"That's a Farmer, not a Pirate Daddy" I admonished
"Oh. Yes. Argh?!" said Daddy
"Too little too late." I answered
"Don't blog this..." he said
"The thought hadn't even crossed my mind..."

Blogging to record memories
Daddy and I were talking the other day about our Princess Dancing and about how we both want Top Ender and Baby Boy to have memories of us being fun, to have memories of us doing things together as a family and for us to set a great example to them for when they have families of their own.
Both of us have treasured childhood memories that we have made sure we have our own version of with Top Ender and Baby Boy and of course new memories special to just us four. Everything we do we try to make fun. It might be eating Chinese with chop sticks (one of my memories), sneaking snacks into bed (one of Daddy's), going for walks in the countryside, family dinners, spending quality time with one parent or even surprise trips out for the day as a family.
Daddy was explaining that he was pleased that we do fun things like the Princess Dancing and going to the Hundred Acre Woods and that I record them and share them on the blog. He has mentioned several times how some people ask him what he did at the weekend because what we do is always exciting compared to what they did.
And so it I thought that maybe Daddy should start writing the odd post or two... and I suggested it to him and he agreed! So before this month is out there is going to be a post by Daddy. Please make him feel as welcome as you do me and just don't let his head get too big.
Oh and talking of Princess Dancing, it turns out that I won! Thank you to everyone who voted or mentioned me and so I won't feel guilty about showing you all and getting the "aaahhh" factor votes here is Princess Top Ender and Prince Baby Boy doing their version of Princess Dancing.

Top Ender Giggles - That's a soundbite!
Whilst we were at Nanny B's I attempted to explain to her what a blog was and why I blogged.
"Originally I had three blogs" I told her
"Three?!" she said in surprise still not quite understanding what a blog was
"For different things. Now I have one about Top Ender and Baby Boy and another about me."
"That's why she says 'That's going on the blog' if she thinks something is funny" said Top Ender
Both Nanny B and I started to laugh
"I guess that's going on the blog then!" said Top Ender derisively
