Listography - Top 5 things I love about kids

This month's listography is titled 'Top 5 things I love about kids'.  Not necessarily your own, but what we love about the little people in general, so here are mine.

1)  I love how the smallest thing can become so magical.  The very best toy I can give Dylan is not an expensive all singing, all dancing computerised whatsit, it is something I use.  When we get on the bus, it is the bus ticket that he wants, and it will entertain him all the way home.  He is just so excited to have something that I play with too!  The sheer joy on his face when we get out a pot of bubbles is priceless.

2)  I love what they can get away with wearing.  I would never get away with a tutu and wellies but on a 3 year old?  Simply adorable.  Put me in an all in one tigger suit and I am ready for fancy dress but put a baby in one and he is ready for a day out!  Grown-up clothes are so boring and tame in comparison.

I said it.  Now I guess I have to do it.  But as I need 5, I shall put it off for just a little longer.

NOT my actual bedroom

Listography is run by the fab KateTakes5, and this weeks is 5 reasons I know I am. . .   There are a lot of possible endings to this, but here are 5 reasons I know I am blonde;

1)  I can't work the switch box.  If the lights go out or the power cuts I have to get the bloke to put them back on.  I know it is a simple switch thingamajig but
I just don't get it!  I would rather spend the day in the darkness that try and figure it out.

2)  On my first date with the bloke I told him that I wanted to live in an Eskimo.
