\u201cMummy there\u2019s a dinosaur
\nin my bedroom\u201d have been the first words I ve heard from my toddler every
\nmorning this week. Apparently he\u2019s very big and green, but he\u2019s only pretend.
\nPhew! \u201cWhen I see him I hide under my covers,\u201d she continues <\/span>
\n<\/a>in her matter of
\nfact little voice. She doesn\u2019t seem scared at all which is a relief, as I think
\nI might be a bit scared if I had a dinosaur in my bedroom!\u00a0 As the week has gone of her tales have become
\nmore and more elaborate. Yesterday her dinosaur had been joined by some bad
\nguys and a vampire. \u201cBut don\u2019t worry Mummy, I got my sword and chopped the
\nvampires head off,\u201d she told me. I wasn\u2019t sure whether to be relieved or horrified
\nbut this comment! <\/span><\/div>\n

Bella turns 3 next month
\nand she is already showing signs of being a great little storyteller, just like
\nher big brother Freddie. She is mad for make-believe games of cafes and shops
\nand she is always singing and making up new little songs. \u00a0She has great imagination for her age and hopefully
\nthis will continue to develop as she gets older. <\/span><\/div>\n

I found a stack of
\nstories I had written myself when I was just 10 years old when I was clearing
\nout a cupboard last month. I read some of them to the kids and they were
\nfascinated. I was chuckling away to myself, as they were just so funny to look
\nback on. I spent a lot of my childhood with my head either stuck in a book or
\nwriting stories and little poems. \u00a0I
\ncarried on writing short stories up until having my first son in 2007 and then I
\njust didn\u2019t seem to be able to come up with any new ideas. The power of sleep
\ndeprivation! Last year though I decided to try and dust the cobwebs off the
\ncreative side of my brain and start this blog. It has provided me with the
\nperfect opportunity to combine my life as a SAHM with something I really enjoy
\ndoing, writing and coming up with fun new arts and crafts ideas.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Going forward I hope to
\ncontinue expanding my writing repertoire. I am starting to explore the world of
\ne-books and I have collaborated on an e-book coming out later this month and I am
\nabout to start working on a new project with another team of fantastic kids
\nbloggers. I would love to get back to writing some more fiction as well.<\/span>
