Her first record
Today I’ve been experimenting with the latest version of Garage Band and with a little help from Maddie who added the vocals – here is her recording debut. (actually that’s not strictly true we have got a recording of Baa Baa Black Sheep but I think this is better!) It’s now my ringtone. She’s also…

The power of TV
Well Iceland may be in trouble financially but I reckon the success of Lazy Town and all the merchandising spin offs must be helping. For those of you that have yet to be forced to watch this show Maddie is modelling a Sporticus Outfit in the pic above. It makes a change from pink but…

Maddie’s 2nd Ski Lesson
Finally the sun came out and normal service was resumed on the skiing front. Maddie has taken to skiing well although at this stage skiing really just means shuffling about on skis on very flat snow. Still you have to start somewhere. I’ve no doubt that give it a few years and she’ll be hurtling…

Snow!!
The best (worst) snow in 30 years depending on your point of view has just covered our world in the white stuff. To be honest I think it’s great, ok so maybe a little inconvenient but it’s not like it happens very often. It was definitely a source of great excitement to Maddie seen here…

Spoilt
Christmas morning – the wine and the carrot are gone and one very excited Maddie got the present she’d been waiting for – her new bike. She’s had lots of lovely presents and thankyou to everyone.

Christmas as a child
This is the first year when Maddie has had some idea of what Christmas is about (not in the biblical sense yet) but definitely in the Santa’s coming and I’m going to get presents. In nursery Maddie had written a letter to Santa and stuck on pictures of what she would like for Christmas. We…

Daddies little pop star…
…well maybe, but she’s certainly taken a liking to singing with a microphone. So far we are limited to renditions of Baa Baa Black Sheep and Once I caught a Fish Alive but with a bit of encouragement who knows?

Favourite TV Shows
Well we had “In the Night Garden” which was a favourtite for a while and Peppa Pig is still up there in term of popularity, but at the moment there is one programme above all others that is guaranteed to keep her amused for hours, namely “Charlie and Lola”. It’s not just these though, Maddies…
