Emotional turmoil

I think that being a mummy must be the most emotionally challenging job there is. Today has been a very up and down day for me and my toddler...with lots of tears, wailing, lying on the floor, and snotty noses on his part and a variety of attempts at consoling him on mine - from gentle persuasion to plying him with Medised, hiding in the toilet and finally piling both children into the double buggy and escaping to the park.
Regardless of the type of day we have though, when it comes to bath and bedtime he is an absolute darling, splashing around with his brother and really enjoying storytime...and tomorrow is always another, completely different, day.

Despite the mayhem, I did manage to cook another of my favourite kiddie meals...macaroni cheese. The recipe I use is from Lorraine Kelly's Baby and Toddler Eating Plan. This is a staple for all children and this recipe is simple, delicious, nutritious and always goes down well - with both of us.
