Whereas adults tend to find the easiest route to their destination…
…children choose the one which is fun and adventurous.
Isn’t it a shame that we all grow up?
What did your child teach you today?

Yes, it is a shame! I learnt today that my 4yo thinks more deeply probably more often than I know, or give him credit for.
I also learnt that gardening takes four times as long with both my boys in the garden with me. But that being muddy and running under the hose is so much fun. So in fact today, I felt like I hadn't grown up – at least for a little while!
Bringing back my childhood games. For a few years now it was checkers and chess. But last weekend, it was badminton (and my body is still crying from the serving of the hundreds of shuttles for three days in a row but happy to say that the 8yo little people returned the shuttle a lot too. thank god the little people is back with his mummy or else my body will be in pulp).
