i had a lady come up to me at a toddle group on friday and she had a, i would say, 8 week old baby on her shoulder…well..you know over her shoulder not on her shoulder like a parrot…
anyways I sort of vaguely know her and she stopped to say hello….conversation went like this…
Her (talking to Matilda) 'Oh my..look at you..What is your Mummy feeding you?"
me: thinking – 'er…food…milk..what do you feed your kid..nails?' actually said 'heh..heh..huh…hum'
Her: 'Seriously tho if you just compare (turns to show me her babies head) the difference in their head sizes!…I mean its huge' (not sure here if she was talking about Matilda's head or the difference)
me: thinking – 'Lady your baby is a few months old! guessing you wouldnt have liked to deliver the head of a one year old. There is a reason they start of small you know!" actually said: 'Well she is one you know!'
and made a quick depart with my one year old whose head is not the size of an 8 week old. I wondering if she was expecting me to say 'ah yes..thanks for asking… i feed her mars bars and chips washed down with full fat coke..you think that's okay?' Sheesh…..
Man, why is is such a juicy topic of conversation with some mums? Its like baby weight touretts isnt it? Nothing like setting these kids up for a world of comparison….gah!!!
Well i came away feeling so much richer for that little exchange….
Moving on…so sunday pictures…
do you like board games? I am developing a liking for them….today we played some snakes and ladders and a bit of make a story puzzles before heading out to a friend's little boys party…
we had lunch at Asda while we waited for Maisie who was at a party. On the way to the car Poppy said to me 'Mummy that lunch was Fab-u-lous!' Cute for floppy sandwiches, yogurt and a packet of wotsits!
and of course the obligatory scratchy crayons and a book to colour – perfick!
leaving you with my lovely little girl…..
Amen…
=)
