What I really want to do is have BABIES. Then I would get to be not only Director of Shiny Things, but also Comforter of Kitten-like-things, and Reader of Bedtime Stories, and Fixer of Broken Things, and Player of Interesting Games, and Listener to Whinges, and Buyer of Sensible School Shoes, and Driver of Parental Taxi, and Dictator Responsible for Making People Eat Vegetables, and all sort of other great stuff
Kathy's three next month. It's possible to read her stories now, as long as they're not to long and there aren't many words on each page (otherwise she gets agitated and turns the pages before you've finished). It's not very possible to play interesting games; she's progressed from breaking anything I make in lego before I've made it, but she still takes it away as soon as it gets interesting. I have to wait until she goes to sleep to play with the train set. And I can't even type this without her clinging to my throat whinging that it's her turn now. I mean, yes they're a Good Thing, but the effort is more unremitting than one expects. First arrange your village...
