Single Parent Getting After It

A little bit of humour leading into the weekend.

Lou had a week to herself in Cleanland (Queensland), relaxing and preparing for the next phase of treatment. She’s feeling tip-top so, why not a little laugh.

Evie Pops loves a mashup. She has an amazing, un-deliberate ability to mash together not only words but multiple songs or nursery rhymes. If it was intentional, she’d be a hip-hop artist, at three.

It’s an ongoing source of micro entertainment, something to increase your daily smile numbers, which is always a good thing.

Evie’s own language starts with mispronounced single words, and she has some clangers. Here are some examples that are currently part of her daily rhetoric. Enjoy:
