A moment like this

Daisy has been a bit of a shit recently and it has been a bloody embarrassment being her mum at times.

We decided to cook Uncle Joe pizzas for dinner tonight while Lee watched Borat play England.

It was when she was fully engrossed that I caught this sight of her and I then realised that this is all I have ever wanted. A little person standing on the Ikea stool (I bought ten years ago in preparation for this moment) cooking dinner with me in my lovely kitchen filled with pots of this and jars of that. She even had on her apron made by Auntie Layla.

She is a difficult little monkey at times but generally those times are when I cant be bothered. So this moment made me take stock and appreciate her and forgive her for slapping me in the face, holding down by my shoulders and kicking me in the stomach last time I dropped her off at nursery.
