Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

The day ds1 was tall enough to use the surface without standing on anything sad (he's only 5)

The day your toddler says sorry unprompted.

The day your children come to a compromise without your interference help.

The day they fart and say 'that wasn't me'.

My ds's year2 teacher said that generally boys learn how to armpit fart in the last term of year 2, and peak in the first half of year 3. That is why, she said, she doesn't want to be a year 3 teacher!

The day they say, "Can I play too?" when they catch you, um, ahem, well, you know ... blush

The day they tell you that you are beautiful.
The day they work out how to open the front door and nearly give you a heart attack.

Still waiting for the day they can make me a cup of tea. Major milestone IMO.

For dd, first time she wai'd (bowed to) a Buddhist temple (can't think of an English equivalent to that!)

The day they help themselves to food/drink from the kitchen.

The day they discover they can pick their nose

And agree with TeeBee, the day they calm you down.

The day your DS says "It's ok mummy, I think you are just stressed today, do you want a cup of tea?" when you have had a go at them for something completely trivial and not their fault at all blush

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
