awwww that sounds lovely. i made a pic of an owl once using pasta with my mum and that's something that i have never forgotten. also i totally agree on the only eating till he's full...thats a valuable lesson. i always used to get told to eat all of my food or i wasnt allowed to leave the table, and people wonder why i am the way i am with food haha. i keep catching myself out telling my little sister off for not cleaning her plate dry and then I realise and just ask if she's full.
in other news, bet your hubby loves that you play xbox with him. i got over computer games after the end of the megadrive craze haha. i still have it somewhere, wonder if it works! good old sonic. x
