The 3-year-old has started saying "Whoops-a-Daddy" whenever I do something like knock something over or bump into something. The 2-year-old is joining in. So that's fun.
A lot has changed in a year! Wrapped up the first year in Dubai. Looking forward to the summer, seeing friends and family then coming back out to do it all again!
This photo basically sums up life at the moment. A lovely dinner together. Child 1 dancing with a bread roll in his mouth. Child 2 hiding under the tablecloth. Still, wonât go down the road of phones/iPads at the table. Thatâs a hill I will die on.
Walk out of hotel room to go to the pool with family. Turn around and see son number 2 has decided he wants to bring the room phone to the pool! đ¤Śââď¸
Go to Netflix menu.
âDaddy, I see Peppa pig. But Peppa pig isnât working on our TV.â
âYes, thatâs right son.â
I know they say you shouldnât lie to your children, but sometimes exceptions have to be made.
Term 2 back in Dubai done! Privileged to work with such great colleagues but ready for a holiday! Now for our first ever holiday as a 4. Phuket awaits!
Numberblocks is a magical TV programme. Eldest loves it and wanted me to build all the squares for him. We talked about each number and why it was a square. Such a great way to learn maths!
Eldest childâs favourite activity at the moment: âDaddy, tell me a story about Jack and Shaun the sheep and the number blocks and all my family and the gruffalo and a friendly giant and a scary monster.â (Or variation of this) Really testing my creativityâŚ
World Book Day. The day that I'm reminded of the classic novels such as: Mario, Messi, Elsa, Sonic, Paw Patrol, Ronaldo, Iron Man. Some of the all time greats.
âI've seen dark before
But not like this
This is cold
This is empty
This is numb
The life I knew is over
The lights are out
Hello, darkness
I'm ready to succumbâ
Genuine lyrics from Frozen 2. Was not ready for that level of darkness. Good thing it went over the head of my son!
