Thought one was needed!
I'll start with Millie's latest gem from yesterday.
"Mummy, I used to be a goblin."
She is three, and a constant amazement.

I call myself the “eccentric aunt”
In the shop i couldn't find my list. 'Don't worry, Nanny, you can borrow mine.' 😁
Me; 'How was Daddy today?'
Millie; 'He knows he's the same years as Mummy now. The 50 I made for his birthday reminds him.'
Millie came home with these cards today with her name written on them. They are apparently to give out to people who don’t know her. So basically my 4 year old now has business cards.
(All her own idea, apparently!)
Two doors up a neighbour often has her dtr and grandkids too, and Millie's recently made friends with them. Debs said she shouldn't go in their garden today as she was going soon, but half an hour went by before Debs went to find her. (It's a back alley she couldn't get lost in)
Millie had been very good, sticking to what she'd been told - they were playing together, the other two kids inside the garden and Millie just outside the gate!
A keeper, Lizy!
That is beautiful, Lizy.
Such confidence is hard to refuse, though I laughed so much I cried.
"You can make this, can't you, Nanny? Shall we start now?"
"I can't do it in five minutes, darling."
"That's alright - you have to drink your tea first."
