Kieran’s Quotes

“Mummy – It’s nearly Easter now – Jesus who died is going to wake up! Will Charlie & Lola come back too?”.

Charlie and Lola are our sadly departed goldfish.

“Mummy, who is that bad man who is nasty to everyone? With the mean looking face? Madgaffi?” <Not far off!

Do you mean Colonel Gaddafi Kieran?

“YES – the nasty man! Why is nasty to his people?”.

I don’t know Kieran. Sometimes people are just not nice, which is a shame.

“Could Miss P sort him out? She tells all the children off when they are naughty”

SNORT – No Kieran, Colonel Gaddafi lives a very long way away.

“So could he come to Yorkshire?”

No

“He should. If he did I would show him how to share and be nice to people“.

*Kieran VS Gaddafi – I suspect Kieran would win. Gaddafi would surrender after 20 minutes of 4yr old questioning!

“Mummy – When the baby comes out of your bottom will he be all covered in squishy poo?”

*Obviously this was referred to Daddy*

“Mummy – when I grow up, will I be your husband?”

No sweetheart, you will still be my son, only you will be my big boy!

“But I want to be your husband!”

I already have a husband though, Daddy is my Husband.

“Daddy…”

Yes Kieran?

“You have been very naughty!”

Why is that Kieran?

“You have been Mummy’s Husband and I want to marry her when I grow up!”

Ahh but you can’t marry your Mummy, you need to find someone else you love to marry. Besides, Mummy already has a Husband.

“Daddy...”

Yes Kieran?

“You need to learn how to share!” Scowl, turn heel, stride off looking like an angry dwarf.

Dear Boys #2 – February Half-Term

Dear Kieran,

Today’s letter is mostly for you! It’s the first day of the February half term today, and I am so excited! I hear lots of Mums grumbling about school holidays (mainly because they are very busy Mummys and it can be hard to organise work and looking after children when school is closed), but I was SO excited when the school door opened at 3.30pm yesterday and you came running out! You see, you are growing up so fast! It doesn’t seem like two minutes ago you were just a tiny thing like your brother, and later when you were a toddler and pre-schooler, we spent all day playing and baking and having fun.

Now you are older (you’ll be 5yrs old in July!) and have been in Reception since September, you have shot up and are so grown up! You have learned so much in a short time and seem so more worldly-wise / savvy than I was at your age! I’m glad you are doing so well at school and enjoy it but every now and then it’s nice to have you to myself for a little while again. You seem to feel the same too as you’ve been so excited about the half term this last week and making plans for our lego creations, PJ days and adventures. I hope you are always happy to spend time with your uncool Mum, even when you are older!

So, on with the half term, the library and a walk out today, just you and me while Taylor and Daddy chill out at home, and a pitstop for hot chocolate and squirty cream to warm us up afterwards! Then this afternoon we are gutting your bedroom, but it doesn’t matter because we always have fun when we do it together (although you have to remember whose mess it is Son!). Then a chilled out afternoon of board games, play and lego and fun with your little brother whose face already lights up when he sees you. I can see you two will be the best of friends and can’t wait until Taylor is a little bigger so you can start to play together properly.

It’s going to be a great half-term! Lets make the most of it whilst it lasts! Looking forward to all the fun!

Hugs and kisses,

Mummy
