OK, today I decided it was about time I got organised and took some Christmas card photos, yeh - sounds like a simple objective until I mention they involved a very sweet (and very fast moving) two and a bit year old.
I am not going to lie.
I used bribery where possible.
Today it was frozen peas and corn.
Don't ask me why she loves them, I have no idea.
So this is how it went
Isabelle: "Loooook Mummy".....
Isabelle: "Mummy....Loooook"
Me: "Yes, sweetie - peas and corn, could I have some too?"
Isabelle: "Oh nooooo!!"
The eyes say it all.
I LOVE it xo
my kids still love frozen peas and corn and the oldest is 26

haha I am a huge fan of bribery!!!Last year my son, now 8, wasn't much of a reader, (to my horror) but looooves money. So I told him when he finished a book i would pay him! lol. I no longer can afford to pay him as he now reads all the time, and his teacher this year "assumed" he had always loved books. haha YAY for bribery.

What a cutie-pie! (. . . hmmm. . . she looks a bunch like her mama!) I think the series of all these photos would actually be an adorable set on a Christmas card. . . everyone would relate & have a good giggle!
Have fun with your little Christmas sweetie!
