Shoooos

I know for a fact that parents gushing on about the genius quotient of their child can be the most annoying thing in the universe. I used to be on the receiving end of ‘news’ such as ‘today he said “poo” and then he laughed out loud like it was some fabulous joke. hahahaha!’. At which I would smile (rather grimace like on my unemtional face) and say something equally vapid like ‘aaah’ or ‘awww’.

Of course now that I have my very own duckling I am the mother with all the milestones – of the ‘oooh look how duckling walks, oooh look what duckling did/ said’ etc, variety. I successfully hold back the urge to stop people in the street and make duckling point to ‘shoooos’ and tell us that ducks say ‘quaaak quaaak’. Instead I torment my family with duckling antics and write them in a scrapbook when I can find time.

If I am not careful this blog could turn into a blog that blathers on about my child. Watch it woman!
