If you are a father like me, or nearly father (like half the blog-sphere) and haven't read them already, have a look at:

In the same way that Dog's can smell fear, toddler's can smell out exactly what you don't want them to play with and grab it immediately. Hence why you spend your time ringing your own mobile phone to try to find out which teddy it's been given to?!?
Her favourite model is a Tau Devilfish that I made for her (when I say her 'made for her', I actually really needed it to field the Tau pathfinders, and they're an essential unit, after all they're so flexible and give the collywobbles to all sort of opposition and ... thanks Crusher Joe, thanks a lot!) She loves the Devilfish as the doors open and the gundrones and driver are detachable and can be put in the boot (translation: trunk). Hours of fun... honest.
Anyhow, she's not quite up to dice rolling yet (they're chewy you see?) However, she does like to copy whatever her Dad's doing (building bases, building LEGO, lying on the sofa watching 'Monster Inc', eating chocolate - oh yes, I'm the man!) and painting models...
Here she is helping me out with my pesky Tyranid horde's paint job.
'Wow Daddy, you models aren't nearly as pretty as the one's I'm painting...'She sat and did this with me for 30 minutes. Not bad, mini me!
