Ever read Noddy? Well I believe that Google stole their name from a Noddy story. I wonder in the legal teams of Noddy and Enid Blyton have figured it out. Surely it is a massive infringement of a trademark, I mean everyone that reads noddy knows googleberry juice, is it a mere over sight or maybe an under sight or is it that the founders of google are great Noddy fans…imagine explaining that to your kids one day – yes Google Berry juice and Google.com are friends they have some sort of a kingship  pact between them.

You know this really is a big word: Reflection – yes this could mean the mirror and what you see in real life however I certainly wanted to touch on mindful reflection. You see I have always been taught from a young age that life is about memories and I have conformed, agreed and used this as motivation on many times in the last 20 odd years. It was however taken to a new level in church on sunday as reflection was touched on my the minister. You see reflection is a looking back on memories and accomplishment and reflecting on these times can often be more fulfilling and enjoyable than the actual action itself – reflection – it can be very rewarding! So why is this posted here on a parents blog – well simple you are the captain of your child future childhood reflections! You are mostly in charge of your child’s memories that are created, nurtured, experienced in their child hood. Reflect back on yours – take the responsibility and set the goal to make your child’s future reflections- AWESOME!

Watching a 4 and a 2 year old get along while on holiday, to really start conversing and getting along is such a pleasure to see. In addition to this it is really interesting – even when the ref needs to jump in and separate the two as they tend to become wrestlers at some time during their play sessions. I have shared before on our little secret campaign, well this holiday it has evolved and sure I would love to take the credit for it however it was started by my 4 year old. It go like this – * I farted on your leg* – yes simple humor do not read to much into it it is just playfulness and do realize that it is not ideal. This evolved into “hey I need a fart bring me your leg!* needless to say this has not gone down as receptive as the secret which they want to hear at times especially Kylie. The bring me your leg generally makes them run in the opposite direction with laughs and giggles….
