And sometimes you just have to laugh...

I'm trying to make some fairy cakes for when T (4) gets home from nursery. She's tired, we need half term, she doesn't want to go to ballet this afternoon. And A (2) is helping me. He's emptied my secret store of jelly babies into the mixing bowl, eaten the black ones and is now trying to add an entire jar of instant coffee on the grounds that it 'smells nice.'

He's just found the Calpol.

Jelly babies, coffee and Calpol. Sounds like a power potion to me. Maybe I should just let him get on with it.
