I couldn’t resist sharing this little moment too.
Its probably because I know how important these ‘pearly whites’ are to her – she uses them alot, mostly on me!

Niamh really enjoys teeth cleaning and gives them a real good going over, even getting to the hard to reach areas! I think she mostly likes the taste of toothpaste though. She’ll get a tiny bit on her brush but there will be loud demands for more ‘pace, pace, pace!’ when its finished. Then there will be a teeth-clentched refusal to spit it out.
Its always a real battle of wills in there, but still, I can’t help laughing at her little, determined face.

There is so much mischief in his face these days. Here is my little man doing what he loves best at the moment – jumping.
Lately he is like a little flea jumping here and there until he has completely exhausted himself. His prefered way of getting about the place is to hop to it. This baffles me because if he is asked to walk anywhere or pick up his toys that is much too tiring (today he actually admitting he was too lazy!). So where does the energy come from for all this jumping?

A warning to all parents though. Be careful to get out of the way of their ‘conker-hard’ heads when close by. I used to do the very same thing when I was his age and consequently had a nasty collision with my mother’s nose whilst she was dressing me. She likes remind me to this day of the ‘broken nose episode’ and the fact that its still a little bent doesn’t help either.
