Motherhood is...

[ailbhe]

... eating the burnt toast so that the children don't have to (though at weekends I make Rob do it).

... being told "Dud dirl" and kissed gently on the cheek while tucked up in bed. I'm not sure why; perhaps Emer was feeling very grown-up and responsible?

... being completely unable to see three-foot-tall children hiding behind their own hands in the middle of an empty room; "Sh! Huiet! MAMMY ME HIDING!!!"

you have an empty room??

or being unable to see them even as you change their nappies. That is Eleri's current favourite - she covers her face with a spare wipe then asks 'where i' she? where 'leri gone?' followed by 'BOO!'

WeeMan can hide in plain sight too (30 months). Would be a neat trick if I was able to do this!
