PHEW! - Mummies are very busy people, because they love you so very much.

So when your mummy asks you to do something, you could help her and do it straight away, without complaining, and the more you help the more time and energy she’ll have play with you. Go back to your mummies and give her a big hug and say “Thanks mum” and see if you see yourself on the slide show coming up. Thanks mums!
