Xmas party was a good idea last night… At 4.30am when I was woken up by 2 little men, then changing a morning poo at 5.30am… Now I’m not so sure it was a good idea :s

More Respect
Being a stay stay at home Dad you develop more respect for toilets. I was on a flight recently and needed to relieve myself. I went to the toilet and when you are over 6ft that isn’t an easy thing.

They grow up way too fast.
We have a little problem going at the moment. The boys are constantly coming into our bed in the middle of the night. Don’t get me wrong, we are happy for them to come in for a cuddle if they are scared. But of late we are getting at least 1 and quite often 2 little Phantom’s coming into our bed.
This morning, I won’t up to who I thought was Jaecob (6) curled up beside...
