I am sure that parents will know how growing toddlers and young children know far more than their parents ever could know!

Eva is going through a phase (hopefully a phase) of contradicting what Mummy and Daddy say, she has a habit of saying it in such a way that sounds as if she thinks we are stupid!

A funny example came last night when we were watching the screen saver on our media centre which shows random photographs from our photo archive.

Daddy on Ben Nevis... That's in Scotland right?

The picture of Daddy (above) came up and the exchange went something along the lines of:

Mummy: That’s Daddy on Ben Nevis, Ben Nevis is in Scotland

Eva: No it’s not!

Mummy: It is it’s Daddy on Ben Nevis

Eva: Ben Nevis is not in Scotland

Mummy: It is sweetheart, its a mountain in Scotland

Eva: It’s not, it’s in Wales

Mummy and Daddy fall about laughing! Where does she get these things from? There is some knowledge of geography there somewhere. Early in her life we did have a holiday in North Wales so perhaps she is associating mountains with Wales which for a 2 year old is rather clever, but it still made us laugh how adamant she was that Mummy and Daddy were wrong!

The Eva Lamp… As I said, she has a thing about putting things on her head. This is the box to her new bedtime lamp!

She loves the actual lamp as well it is a Spearmark Winnie The Pooh 3d Lamp it lights up from inside and gives a nice yellow glow in her bedroom.

Eva has a thing for hats at the moment. I had my chainsaw hat out as I was cutting a hedge at the weekend. She took it upon herself to try it on!
