Berlin Bound

OK so the time had come that I have to get over my extended maternity leave an d get down to business. As much as I was staying away from travelling on work, I now have to do it........out of the country.....for 4 whole days!

While I have complete faith in the fact that I will not be missed by my son.....he is a daddy's boy after all......am scared to know what the state of my family will be at my return....

what i am expecting to see is

1.  A messy house (thats a given)
2. A messy kitchen (even more obvious)
3. Unlaundered clothes (no man likes to wash clothes, even if its just putting them in the washer and switching the ON button on.)

I have a 'present for you'

Riaan is 2.2 months old now. 


This was about 6 months ago, around the time when he had just learnt to speak small sentences and repeated everything he heard.


One of his favourite CBeebies shows had a character giving gifts to his friends, constantly using the line 'i have a present for you'.

So after watching the show, all Riaan kept saying to me all day long is 'Mumma, I have a present for you'....which i thought was priceless until.........he said it to me one early morning, while sitting on his potty.  


Unfortunately, i am wary about accepting presents from him :)

Mumma, can you please tell me the tiger about the story :)
