On Saturday, I ate a Dalek.
On Sunday, I got all the Trivia Pursuit questions wrong.
On Monday, I realized how temporary my specialist knowledge of early baby development is.
On Tuesday, I discovered I could watch the news being presented from Singapore on the BBC. (Newsday)
Today, little Grouting taught me a new-to-me trackpad command. (Two-finger clicking for the contextual menu.)

Can we safely assume this Dalek was in cookie/cupcake form? :)

It was a gingerbread Dalek, yes!

Edible Daleks are cool?

The child teaches the mother. Grouting is getting geared up young. And you will becomes a temporary expert many times over.

This. And, if you're anything like me, will immediately forget much of your previously hard-won expertise within about six months (or less) of your child passing that stage.

Although I can still change a nappy quite expertly, I should think, given the opportunity.

The knowledge became acute not because I think I've yet lost what little I have, but being temporarily astonished at what other people think little Grouting might be able to do yet - and then realizing that it was a very long time ago indeed that they had tiny people to look after, so of course they've forgotten (or in some cases, never known) that new newborns don't have the coordination to suck toes. (She just barely does this week!) Or my relative who marvelled at her head-holding ability, and then wondered much more off-handedly if she was sitting up on her own yet, when the first is a very basic prerequisite for the second.
