Tea

At Nanny's house, there is a tea-set. And Caíthlyn LOVES that tea-set. She is forever stirring in the cups and "feeding" the dolls and us.
Darren then had the lovely idea to get her a tea-set for our house too. So, last Saturday we all piled in the car and off to Smyth's (Large Toy-Store) we went!
I ADORE shopping for Little Miss, be it clothes, toys, Hell, even Babywipes! Strolling around a toystore (with intent to spend mind) is SO my idea of a great time!
Toys are big business, people! You would not believe the things that are made for kids! It's actually quite a good thing we don't have a playroom as I would do some serious spending if we had the space! There are complete kitchens! Every kind of educational toy under the sun and if you have a creative kid, there's all you need to bring out the Salvador Dali in your child.
We found the desired tea-set! Happy Days!

What is it about men and kids together that makes you melt? Darren is the most interactive, loving and caring Daddy any child could ask for. As soon as we were home, the tea-set was opened and set up. There they were, Daddy and Daughter, playing tea. Barney and Zippy side by side yet again at one end and Darren and Caíthlyn at the other. Cups were stirred, plates were "filled" ADORABLE!
I had to stop myself from going "Aaaaaaahhhh" whilst sitting in the corner with the video-camera.

The last two nights she has not been going down to sleep for us. The poor little thing seems to be off. I have no idea what causes this, it could be teeth, it could be something completely different. That's the most frustrating thing about Parenthood with babies. THEY CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT'S WRONG YET! As time goes by, you learn to recognize some things, but then there is something that doesn't fit any of the molds and then what do you do? Do what you can and hope for the best I guess!

I am going to look in to having our digital camera fixed by the way so hopefully we will be able to show you some more recent pictures soon!
