A horrible guest

M's going to her friend's first birthday party. I dressed her up very nicely but only an hour later I had to change her dress (puke), shirt (wet with spit), cardigan (spit) and tights (puke). Surprisingly, her nappy was dry. And now she fell asleep so we'll definitely be late. She's the worst guest. Never invite her anywhere!

I dream of Robert DeNiro

In my dream, Robert DeNiro just told me that "Thanksgiving is a fool's Boxing Day." Some of my American friends might find this information useful so I had to write it down before I forgot.

How long to keep the placenta in the freezer for?

Four months after giving birth, I received a babycentre newsletter and one of the topics was: "How to eat your placenta?". Their timing is totally off. 

Little Red Riding Hood

I wanted to tell M a story to calm her down before her nap and I first thought of Little Red Riding Hood. I started telling her the story and after an unnecessarily long description of all the food her mother prepared for her granny (I'm on a diet), I realised I didn't know the rest of the story. 
Does her red hood play any role in the story? How and why did the wolf end up in her granny's house? Where and when does the hunter appear? Why didn't the wolf just eat the girl in the forest? 
Well, he did in my version of the story. And he enjoyed all the food from the basket as well. The end.
