i've been showing MIL your blog in preparation for blw starting in the next few weeks. she'll be helping out with childcare for an odd day here and there when i'm back at work, so i thought it best to get her used to the idea asap. she thinks i'm mad, keeps on about choking etc too. i showed her all your photos and she just hmmmmd at them. mind you, this is a woman who thinks pasta is exotic...god help me!
