  • “Just a trim!”

    I think if Mette had her way Maddie would have short hair and I agree that would be less hassle even if it did make her look like a boy. Thankfully my brother also happens to be Maddies hairdresser and is in complete agreement with me that little girls should look like little girls. It…

  • Wii obsessed

    Maddie loves the Wii. Here we see her demonstrating her cycling technique (it’s actually a still from a video which I’ll try and post later). Unlike her earlier efforts with the Wii fit now she can do it all by herself, choose the game, set it up with her character (Mii) and play. The slicing…

  • Christmas 09

    This was the first year that Maddie really got the whole Santa thing although I’m still not sure its a good idea that we pretend a fat bloke in a red suit comes into the house and leaves all the presents behind (we haven’t even got a chimney), besides why should he get all the…

  • All aboard the skylark.

    Just a mention of the boat brings out a smile on Maddies face. Today we used it as a trip to the park and she was in heaven. It also gives me a good excuse to act like a kid again which is nice.

  • Her first record

    Today I’ve been experimenting with the latest version of Garage Band and with a little help from Maddie who added the vocals – here is her recording debut. (actually that’s not strictly true we have got a recording of Baa Baa Black Sheep but I think this is better!) It’s now my ringtone. She’s also…

  • The power of TV

    Well Iceland may be in trouble financially but I reckon the success of Lazy Town and all the merchandising spin offs must be helping. For those of you that have yet to be forced to watch this show Maddie is modelling a Sporticus Outfit in the pic above. It makes a change from pink but…

  • Snow!!

    The best (worst) snow in 30 years depending on your point of view has just covered our world in the white stuff. To be honest I think it’s great, ok so maybe a little inconvenient but it’s not like it happens very often. It was definitely a source of great excitement to Maddie seen here…

  • Christmas as a child

    This is the first year when Maddie has had some idea of what Christmas is about (not in the biblical sense yet) but definitely in the Santa’s coming and I’m going to get presents. In nursery Maddie had written a letter to Santa and stuck on pictures of what she would like for Christmas. We…

  • Daddies little pop star…

    …well maybe, but she’s certainly taken a liking to singing with a microphone. So far we are limited to renditions of Baa Baa Black Sheep and Once I caught a Fish Alive but with a bit of encouragement who knows?

  • Favourite TV Shows

    Well we had “In the Night Garden” which was a favourtite for a while and Peppa Pig is still up there in term of popularity, but at the moment there is one programme above all others that is guaranteed to keep her amused for hours, namely “Charlie and Lola”. It’s not just these though, Maddies…
