CharlieBeth's "My Life As Mumma Walker"

Household chores Washing up. "Mummy, bubbles?" Me "Yep. I'm washing the dishes." Jack, "Dishes have bubblebath?? Why?" Cooking: "Mummy! Careful! Hot hot hot! Get ouchie!", me "it's ok, Jack. Mummy will be careful", Jack "Noooo! Mummy get ouchie!"  Love him! But need to cook the sausages... don't fancy them raw. Being very smart Playing with toy money. Daddy is holding Tom.

I'm pretty sure it's not considered a safe toy for a 6 month baby, but you try telling him that! It's not just been a first christmas for us though. My brother in law and his missus have Ben's first christmas too (and my step bro and his wife with baby Rommy, but we didn't see them this year). BUT it'
