Fear not readers. This isn’t a post about how my little legged one played with her poo. Oh no. She’s far too busy playing with her Disney Car collection to even think about such things. When I say play. I mean obsess. Damn, I have digressed already.
Potty list. This is a list of things that has been commissioned by Growingupmilkinfo.com of things that our little ones should do. It’s all very tongue in cheek but also very sweet. Yes I do sweet.
The first 36 of these are part of the original list. The last four I have added myself.
1. Made a mud pie
2. Baked a cake - Oh yes. Lots. Rarely with me mostly the childminder, but they’re mighty fine cakes I’ll tell you.
3. Finger painted - Tick. One of her favourite activities. My first opportunity to bore you with pics.
4. Sung loudly in public - She’s her father’s child. She will sing loudly anywhere.
5. Climbed a big hill - My girl did good on the Water Aid walk. The hills she did walk were immense for a two year old.
6. Picked fruit - Yep. Blackberries in the garden.
7. Danced with no inhibitions - Everytime Got to Dance comes on. She bloody loves it.
8. Made sandcastles on the beach - Of course. Barbados.
9. Been chased by a monster - Does her dad count?! Not sure.
10. Jumped in a puddle so hard the water went in mummy’s shoe too – Up my leg yes. Shoe no.
11. Belly-flopped
12. Fed the ducks - Of course.
13. Blown bubbles – Tick. In the bath, in the pool, with a straw and bubble bubbles if you get me.
14. Had a teddy bear’s picnic
15. Chosen a favourite book - Yes. It changes. It was A Little Lose for ages, then Spike Milligan, now it’s bloody Disney Cars.
16. Ridden on the top of double-decker bus - She has, around the Isle of Wight. But I think we need to revisit this as I think she may have been a little too young to enjoy. In fact, she fell asleep.
17. Visited a museum - Lots of times. Lots of museums.
18. Been on a train ride - At least monthly. Hell she was on the underground at 8 weeks old!
19. Fed an animal - Everyday the dog, and sheep, goats and all that.
20. Grown cress in the shape of your name
21. Worn pants on your head - Her head? Or mine? Either which way. Yes.
22. Ridden the tea-cups at the fair – We tried at the Pleasure Beach, she was too small.
23. Flown a paper aeroplane
24. Poo’ed in the bath - Yes. Enough said.
25. Stayed the night away from home - Of course.
26. Ridden on daddy’s shoulders - She prefers Mummys.
27. Scribbled somewhere you shouldn’t - Don’t even get me started.
28. Cleaned your own teeth - She tries everyday. She loves it. But mostly sucks the toothbrush.
29. Answered the phone - Yep.
30. Mastered a party piece
31. Had a ‘first love’
32. Bought something in a shop - Our little corner shop regularly. Normally a five pence lolly.
33. Set your sights on a future career (pirate, fairy or builder, perhaps?)
34. Told a fib – She blames the dog from time to time.
35. Made up an inappropriate nickname for someone
36. Broken something valuable
37. Seen live music - Yes. She’s been to a few folk festivals and to Camp Bestival.
38. Chosen her own outfit regardless of how ridiculous it looks - Oh yes. Much to Phil’s dismay and my delight.
39. Given something away willingly
40. Taken a photo which is displayed in the house.
So there we are at. Not too bad is it. We still have a few to do, and a few to clarify.
