Oh bless! They're fantastic! I love the way children's language develops :0)
We have pop pop dars (this took ages to work out, but is the gluten-free organic children's cereal, in the shape of stars, that they sometimes have as a treat) and rocroc mil which is, clearly ( ;0) ), chocolate milk (I make an organic banana and chocolate milkshake as a treat on Fridays - which is milkshake and smoothie day).
They are so very sweet sometimes.
Oooh and just thought, good job you don't live in some parts on England where fack would be the pronunciation for a rather less socially-acceptable word to say ;0)
Ah hahaha! Those are sooo cute!!! To echo what Nikki said, "fack" may be rather problematic in these parts of Canada...LOL!
BTW, I love the quote on the main page by Kahlil Gibran. I think I must copy it and keep it in my notes for when I need some parental inspiration. A book of his quotes/poetry should be put on my wishlist...
Love the blog! Keep us laughing (in total understanding...)
