Thanks guys

bumping again 40 mins left

This one looks really interesting and even dh wants to watch this one! I bet he'll be 'superdad' tomorrow!! He's pretty good anyway but can't harm to drive home his importance

15 minutes

On now

that scottish artist dad is horrible. Rude to his wife and cant believe he laughed when the little boy had a nasty fall down the slope into the nettles.

That is what i thought about scotish artist dad

and he smirked when little boy fell on the floor during the experiment in the room

think helen (helena?) is amazing, born so early and with no problem apart from glasses (is that cos of the oxygen she needed?). wow. she reminds me of a bit of dandlion fluff as she is so fair and petite IYKWIM.

glasses could have been from that

I know with DS they were worried about his eyes from the oxygen dependancy he had

I loved it when she was hanging out her washing and then the wind blew and she grabbed hold of it

dh was almost sobbing at that bit, he was goijg on about how cute it was, (i missed it as my mum called me)

Very interesting I thought. How different are fathers and mothers! dh said gloomily (during the etch-a-sketch experiment) 'they all have much more fun with their mothers...." I think he really recognised himself in that - and he's a wonderful father.

then when she said you can pretend to be a boy when she was in scan room and found out iot was a girl

DD1 has those glasses

dh thought charlottes mum was meanie for trying to confuse her over who her dad is. (have i got the girls name right??)

and he thinks paris and his mum are amazing, as do i.

they are mini version of my old glasses lol

Very touched by Helena at the end. Such a sweet girl.

I have thought through the whole thing how amazing Paris and his mum are
