But soooooooooooo cute! Nice toggle skills. And the hat is AWESOME. I think you should have a matching one.
I would LOVE one!
The moment I realised I was turning into my mother was when I first told Dill ‘I want doesn’t get’ it’s all downhill from here!
I bought Dill a coat he’d grow into last winter, it’s still a bit too big now. I like to think of it as a money saving exercise and one less thing to worry about!!
Ahhh yes, I remember “I want never gets” very well. Am sure to be pulling that one out of the bag soon 🙂
You’d be surprised!! Don’t worry I sound like my mother more and more since I have had kids!
It is odd isn’t it?
Great photo!!!!!!
Oh thank you x
I cringe with self-loathing everytime I open my mouth these days and a ‘motherism’ pops out – I just can’t stop myself! And nothing I buy for GG ever fits her until she is old enough to hate it 😉
LOL, poor GG! 🙂
What a cute blog and an adorable baby. Yeah, I hate to say it, but as time passes things are going to fly out of your mouth uncontrollably and then you will realize, you sound like your Mother. I think it’s a curse or something…or revenge, one of the two.
Oh thanks for popping over 🙂 Yep, it is happening more and more these days.
hahahaha, i remember my mam saying that “you’ll grow into it” super cute photo
Thank you lovely 🙂 x
and as the kids get older you hear yourself saying things to them your mother said to you….and you said to yourself pre-children I will never say this/that/next thing to my kids cos I hated it when my mum said it…..unfortunately children learn what they live…..just remember that when you say things to your kids…cos they pick your nursing home!!
Ah, good point!
I’m my mum in every single way. When I was teaching I started to hear it come out… “What part of NO don’t you understand the N or the O!”
Brilliant! I might just steal that one!
I’m always buying ‘grow into’ clothes in the sale. One year I piled everything out of the cupboard and searched through tor the (then) current size – only to discover I had purchased not one but THREE winter coats?!? So much for saving money!
Oooh buying for next years in the sales….GOOD plan! LOL though THREE? x
I know. I must have had a mad turn. I couldn’t quite believe it when I checked.
Heehee so cute! I have starting buying things that have room to grow into too! (for the kids not me~I’m buying things too small for me to shrink into haha)
We all do it. My hand-me-down skill is ….hand-me-downs!! My youngest is currently sporting a very nice selection of too-large jackets and trousers which his brother/neighbour’s son has grown out of. What he does not know can not hurt him!
