I may just do that.
I am feeling pretty good today - and looking unimaginably dapper in my new Dick Dale t shirt. I am getting my father one.

When are you seeing the little one again?
Have you got her Christmas presents already?

Saturday
and no, just got her a book so far. I need a flash of inspiration for her 'main present'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Nov 2010, 10:40, Reply)

do her a little stocking
with all sorts of tiny silly things in - you'll have a lot of fun opening them together.

Good idea.

You can get her something you can build together
like a nice girly (or not so girly) Lego, or Mecano. Or if you like cooking, a cooking book with recepies for kids and an apron and some utensils. She'll like them and then she'll have fun playing/cooking with you.

Excellent thinking!

I'm good with presents, me
You don't need to spend a lot of money for the cooking one, but the present will look big and full of little details. If you get her silicon cupcakes or biscuits moulds, in different colours and shapes, I'm sure she'll love them. You can get almost all the utensils in silicon in different colours these days for a very good price.

indeed
my aunt bought me a load of pink kitchen utensils for my birthday to match my pink fridge. i mean, where the hell do you buy a pink potato masher, but she managed to find one!

That's so cool!
I don't like pink myself, but I love red and orange, and I'm trying to get all my kitchen utensiles on those colours.

Kids love baking.
And it helps them grasp the concepts of cooking and where food comes from at an early age.

My nephew and his friend made me a birthday cake last year.

My daughter has a play chef's outfit
complete with wooden spoon and white hat. She loves it and insists on wearing it when we make stuff in the kitchen. Much fun to be had there!

I think all kids love baking
it makes them feel grown up and useful. I loved when my grandma let me help her in the kitchen.

She turned out a good wholemeal loaf on Saturday
and 12 fairy cakes with buttercream icing! Not bad for a 3 year old

Not bad at all
I don't know if I could do it myself!
