I asked the boys tonight if they had eaten enough. Did they have enough for dinner? Jman: “Yes! I ate ALL my soup.” Mpants: “And I ate ALL my cookie!” Hmmm.  I did have to help Mpants eat his dinner. He ate most of what was on his plate. BEFORE he could have his half …

Where did you find that?

Jman comes over to the table and puts a wee spec of ooze on it. “Regardez Maman. C’est quoi ça?” “Look Mummy. What is this?” I look down, inspect it and ask: “I’m not sure Little Bear. Where did you find it?” “Dans mon nez!” “In my nose!” Hmmmm….
