Strange things you let your kids do to keep them happy.

Went to the shops with DD in hot pink sparkly ballet flats. She got them to put on and I said "no, not those shoes! You can't wear them to the shops!" and she said "Why mummy?"

And I thought "why not?" so she wore them!

I had this on Fb for a while and got lots of comments

My DS has to hold the vacuum cleaner when we vacuum. I can imagine the tantrums in years to come will be about holding the vacuum cleaner rather than not holding it!

Oh my, we have this too! It takes me about an hour to vacuum because I have to move at about 1mm per 20 minutes...

Its so cute that he wants to hold it but I just want to whizz over the floors quickly and here's DS trying to "help" me!

LOL. DD went to bed cuddled up to a calculator the other day.
