Have J age 2 with me today and I was trying to get him to say something and eventually he did to much delight:clapping:
Robert with great insight and observation said (wait for it) -
'you childminders are like animal trainers aren't you':laughing: :laughing:
He is currently entertaining the 2 2yr olds with puppets lol

He's quite right too! Only sometimes animals are much better behaved :laughing: I've even caught myself saying 'fetch' when I roll a ball for the 18 month old......

It's so true :laughing:
My DS aged 5 is brilliant at entertaining the young mindee (17 mths) they absolutely adore each other. I sometimes think he's better at my job than I am :D

My 7 year old is too. I always sit down with a cuppa when he gets in from school because they only want to play with him then.....

Lol! My girls 'escape' upstairs sometimes when the little ones get too much, but they won't have the option today as we are having a little Xmas party so they'll have to stay :thumbsup:
