Smiley face cures baby blues

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

 Smiley faceI got an unusual sight when I got home from the shops the other day, Milly was sitting in her bouncy chair enthralled by my other half and his incredible dancing feet.

No, he had’nt gone mad (at least no more than usual!), but in a last ditch attempt to entertain our very discerning 11 week old baby girl he had drawn smiley faces in black marker pen on both hands and feet and was putting on a great dancing show.

I have to say I have never seen her more fascinated, it was truly hillarious and just gave me another reason to love him, its better than anything I have come up with to entertain her!
Love, Helen icklebabe x

Ps,  for those of you waiting for my new designs they are in proress, I promise!
Trying to get anything much done with a little baby, a 9 year old (are we there yet?) boy and a slightly grumpy (do I really have to come?) teenager in the easter holidays is proving to be a very interesting prospect. But normal work will resume shortly!!! ( here’s hopeing!) xx
