Total novelty factor babe! my girls are so cool when we are not around and just feral with eachother when with us lol! i try to reassure myself that it's because they are confident enough to act out with their mama and papa around and can safely explore those emotions.

but it does totally suck bum to be on the receiving end of the (seemingly) constant whinging and complaining about our (apparent) "boringness" (My almost 5 year olds new fav word!)...that's when i turn on the 'elevator music' in my head and make a cup of tea!
