Never work with animals or children!


Why though? They are adorable and do the cutest things...


...of course that is until they say the word "poopy" on your Facebook live...


A blog has to start somewhere and after many weeks of procrastination *ahem* I mean deliberation, I still hadn't picked a topic and started mine.


Going live is difficult for me...even if there is someone watching. Unless they comment I feel very much like I am talking to myself. I needed to choose this week's mindfulness card and thought what better way to break the ice a little than to enlist the services of the Little Ice Princess - she is cute, has rainbow pigtails in today and chatters away.


BIG MISTAKE! Not only did she suddenly become tongue tied and in between the very few words that she did say, kept making random noises but she signed off, as I was ending the live, with the aforementioned P word.


"You did not just say that!"


"Yes Mummy I did just say that - bye bye poopies"


After a moment of complete panic, during which I wondered if we had time to delete the whole thing and start again before pre-school, I realised that I didn't have the time nor the energy and doing it later would mean I would be by myself so it would have to stay.


So what have I learned from this episode?


Do not work with children especially young ones. It does not matter if you babble by yourself it is much safer and you won't regret it later.


Would I do it again?


Oh...who am I kidding?!? Of course I would...in a heartbeat! Did I mention the cuteness and rainbow pigtails? And at least you guys got a laugh!


Instead what I have actually learnt is this...


If you pick a topic and picture and start typing...you can indeed start your new blog without too much fuss and bother even though you didn't think you had anything to say.


So good bye Poopies and I will be back soon! Here is the video if you would like some cuteness, pigtails and poopy in your life...have a go at the mindfulness activity whilst you are at it...
