To be like Grandad

Jack just went to bed without his shirt. It is cold in England tonight. I asked inquisitively, 'are you sleeping without your shirt tonight?'

Jack responded with 'Grandad does it and I am just copying Grandad.'

There are many things I would be delighted for Jack to imitate my dad on - this is not necessarily one of them! Thanks Dad!

One Thumb Up One Foot Down!

About the name

During these early years of parenting, I feel that I am constantly giving my sons and daughter encouragement to try something new and then immediately turning around and telling them to stop doing something else. This 'One Thumb Up, One Foot Down' approach of life isn't that far from how my own life feels at times - movements forward and backwards, highs and lows - and this blog is my attempt to share some of these moments with you. I invite you to join me on the ride as often as you can...

This blog is designed to be our family scrapbook. We don't want to bore you and make you flip through a book every time you visit us, but we do invite you to visit here any time you like.
