The comedy Boss Baby is out in cinemas. No, I haven’t seen it, although I’ve seen the trailer and heard the ad on radio. The name struck me as fascinating… and my imagination led to this post. BOSS and BABY – two words that pretty…
Toddlers are weird creatures unique little beings. With a (strong-willed) mind of their own, and logic that is utterly illogical. There is no reasoning and there are no explanations. In their world, IT JUST IS. Having gone through Little Man’s toddlerhood with all it’s ups…
