A colleague of mine just asked about Nora and I just remembered an incident regarding ice cream over the weekend.

I left Nora watching Something Special on cbeebies and went to the kitchen. A few minutes later she came to the kitchen and started asking for ice cream. I told her we have no ice cream. She kept insisting and even doing the sign language for ice cream.

So I told her I’ll put some yoghurt in the ice cream mould but it would not be ready for a few hours. She wasn’t happy with that but I distracted her by saying we’re going out to the park.

A few hours later when we got back from the playground, she’s forgotten about it and all is calm in the household again… that is until sleep time…
