Now she is Five
… nearly six actually. Now that she is five she is at school from 9am until 4pm everyday. She has had her first solo playdate in the pueblo with a boy from school. She tells me that they fight “but not hitting”. OK, great. They mostly play Barbies.

May 13, 2011 by bibsey mama 25 Comments

What a fab opportunity to crow about how lovely it is here in Southern Spain. Not just gratuitous boasting but invited and encouraged smuggery.

March 25, 2011 by bibsey mama 17 Comments

Parental Advisory. I have been trying to write this post since I started the Bibsey Blog a couple of months ago.
