Sienna likes to hold court at the dinner table - regaling us with her daily account that mostly borders on the made up side of reality.

It is sweet and sometimes funny, even slightly entertaining (seen through the eyes of a parent mind) but sometimes it is plain exhausting and needs to stop so we might remain sane.

The ice lolly plugged that little mouth of verbal thoughts quite nicely for a few moments - bliss to the ears of tired parents!
