Recently, however, she&#8217;s started showing a remarkable reticence for getting into the bath.

Sitting in the bath this evening, Schmoo proudly announced to me: &#8216;Daddy, I&#8217;ve got boobs!&#8217; and put her fingers over her nipples. Babymama and I laughed hysterically, before BM confirmed that it wasn&#8217;t anything she&#8217;d [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofadad.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9297278&amp;post=85&amp;subd=lifeofadad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Schmoo has now been at pre-school for two weeks and the change has been remarkable. I think I mentioned in an earlier post that we&#8217;d never put Schmoo in any sort of childcare, so we were, understandably, nervous on how she&#8217;d take to being left on her own and in the care of someone [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofadad.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9297278&amp;post=81&amp;subd=lifeofadad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

On the other hand, if you give her a toy kitchen with saucepans smaller than your little fingernail (see pic on left) she&#8217;s made up. Ecstatic, over the moon. This lovely set arrived in the post from Nain (that&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofadad.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9297278&amp;post=74&amp;subd=lifeofadad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the park at the weekend, I overheard this remark. Why are you the only 9-year-old boy in here wandering around with a doll under your arm? This was uttered by a boy&#8217;s very alpha-male granddad, who obviously doesn&#8217;t think his grandson is &#8216;macho&#8217; enough and doesn&#8217;t understand the appeal of Spongebob &#8211; the &#8216;doll&#8217; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lifeofadad.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9297278&amp;post=70&amp;subd=lifeofadad&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
