Tag - I'm it!

Comment Published at 14:0214:025 comments5 comments184 Visits184 VisitsReport

Have been well and truly tagged, so here goes (finally) with my answers:

1. What's your child's favourite book? "Jump In!" by Ian Whybrow. It is a brilliant rhyming story about Miss Lollipop and here truck. She is lonely one day and goes for a drive, and all sorts of animals jump in for the ride. Fantastic. 2. What's your favourite children's book? I fondly remember "The Faraway Tree" and "The Wishing Chair" series by End Blyton. Can't remember much more than the idea of the stories, but I must have read them at a time when they really slotted in with my imagination.  

3. What's your child's favourite thing to eat? For Leala, I think sausages are high up on the list, along with ice cream. Just last weekend she tried to drag me off in the other direction because she noticed that this was where people carrying ice cream were coming from! Nyle, well, food basically. Preferably someone else's and ideally Leala's. Having said that, it doesn't really need to be food to be eaten. A nice handful of sand went down a treat yesterday.

4. What's your favourite thing to eat? Oooh, tough. After a month of travelling once and dining on mostly rice with fried eggs and fruit (and more eggs) I dreamed of roast chicken with all the works. On a more normal day, I would love someone to turn up at my door with a really chewy meringue, thick cream and strawberries.

5. What's your child's favourite game? Leala loves to play in her house and bring us plastic plates with pieces of play food on. She can do that for a fair length of time. Games? Hiding somewhere and having Mum and Dad pretend very loudly that they can't find her... Nyle will have his day made by anyone who will tickle him, blow raspberries on his stomach and tip him upside down (if possible all at the same time). His second favourite game is to throw up over any adult who stupidly endeavours favourite game #1 straight after dinner. 

6. What's your favourite game? Spending time on the computer whilst pretending not to...

So, now I will tag... KatiePiatt, TheMentorMum, Lindterbean, Nomes and Elizabeth

I'm going to have to check those books out as well.  They sure sound like good reads especially "Jump In."  Rhyming, animals, sounds like a winner!

I loved Enid Blyton

Loved all her books and still have most of them. My daughter can't seem to get in to them though. Did you know that Enid did not like children a had a difficult time relating to her own.

My daughter also used to be famous for throwing up. Once out for dinner, at a restaurant, friends were having a nasty arguement when one of them threw a glass of wine over the other, closely followed by my babe throwing up all over the table. Things between them settled and they have argued like that since.

I read the far away tree
I had to read the far away tree 2 years ago for one one of my kids I worked with.  Is just as good re-reading as an Adult as hearing for a child.  I went out and bought it lucky to get a 2 in one with the Magic faraway tree  & magic wishing chair.

Good stuff.

Faraway and wishing...
I was crazy for the Enid Blyton books_ I used to read them over and over. I can't remember what they were actually about though I remember the covers - great illustrations.

I hear you about being on the puter but pretending not to be.!! I am a multi tasker so its not that I am ever JUST on the puter!!
