dishwashed a dinosaur.

DS2 had a bug. He vomited all over a T Rex (and his bunk bed stairs, the floor, the wall, the door...).

There's a first time for everything, I guess.

Sucked snot out of another person. DD was about 4 months old, smothered with a cold and I couldn't get the squishy bulb thing to work. It was grim.

...Sung to anyone. Now ds (7) has picked up my awful singing voice Grin or maybe inverted it. Still it was lovely to sing rhymes to him when he was younger. We duetted out-of-tunefully today to Ella Fitzgerald's interpretation of Cole Porter songs - Anything goes!

Pointed and waved at lorries, tractors, diggers and any emergency service vehicle. Thank you for beeping, waving back and putting on your lights and sirens!

I note that getting up close and personal with other people's poo is a common theme here..

Picked up a child/toddler and sniffed their bum to see if the nappy needed changing.

Slept (mostly) sitting up, in a recliner chair for a whole night with a newborn on my chest.
