Christmas

We have had a great Christmas so far, the children have been spoilt rotten!!
One thing I just have to get down happened at Mum and Dads.
Amelia was going to the toilet and Lucy wanted to go - she was ttold to wait her turn or to go upstairs. She wanted to use the potty that was still in the toilet cupboard, but was told no. She decided to wait in the toilet with Amelia - there is just no shame between them!!
It went quiet for a while but then there was a lot of noise and some crying. I went in to find them both brying, Amelia holding the potty and covered in wee. It turns out she had told Lucy to go on the potty (as far as Luc ywas concerned - if amelia told her too - then it was ok!) and had tried to pour the giant wee lucy did down the toilet, but had dropped it all over herself and on her knickers and trousers on the floor. It was just so so funny - still laughing now! Their guilty faces and Amelia crying about the wee on their clothes. So so funny. The little monkeys :)

Meat

We have been talking to the girls about meat recently, they are asking where it comes from and how it gets out of the animal. I explained to Lucy one day that we have to kill the animal and takes its skin off anf cut it up to eat it. You may think it would upset her, but she was completely unfazed and asked which animals it was. I explained that its normally chicken, cow pig etc, but that some countries even eat horses. She went very quiet and then announced 'mummy, one day can we go to that country? i would like to try some horse!!!'
Then when we read Bambi a few days later and i had to explain a hunter killed Bambis mummy (to feed his family of course!) and that deer meat is called Venison, she straight away asked, 'muumy can we get some beniston? i would like to try some'

No vegetarians in this house!!
