I

❤

❤ the third being in my life guaranteed to bring a smile to my face - especially after one of your dancing sequences

❤ the way your overly lengthy arms dangle and flop about.  You're built for big hugs!!

❤ you have only two expressions and they have to cut to switch between them

I

❤

❤ you look as fashionable and current as you did when you were designed in '67 

❤ the perfect solution for someone who has just been released from the world of not knowing which month it actually is (having to work two months ahead of the rest of the world in magazine-land), to not knowing which day of the week it is (because weekends no longer exist in the land of munchkin, a place where one day blends into the next and quite frankly, one commends oneself for having made it through at all...). Knowing the actual DATE.... well, that really is taking things to a whole new level!

❤ I think I may be able to write you off as a legitimate business expense! 

I

❤

❤ I have always wanted four of you, but could never decide which colour to get; now the pressure's off because I can try you out for the playroom first!

❤ I'm planning an entire Panton room when I make my first million and you've provided an excuse to infiltrate another area of the house

❤ miniature perfection

❝uppisdown❞

noun-

1. with the upper part undermost

2. in or into complete disorder; topsy-turvy

adv-

in great disorder

❤ one of munchkin #1's very first three syllable words, I was very sad to lose it to the more common 

"upside down". Up IS down, after all, when you are a munchkin! 

I

❤

❤ you make clutter look artistic. 

❤ you literally are organised chaos 

❤ I adore you so very much I will adopt your twin (in a different colour) so my toddler can live out her sorting fetish in peace. I don't like people messing with my mess.

I

❤

❤ deceptively simple yet complex... you're musical, educational (teach colours! size! balance! ) 

❤ you're welcome to stick around long after we've booted the kids off into the big wide world...yes, I know it seems I am pre-occupied with life after munchkins, but if you are a hoarder like me it helps to surround yourself with beauty at every opportunity! 

❤ I'm a sucker for rainbows

I

❤

❤ you taste good in ANY of your flavours

❤ you are so messy to eat I invariably get handed the remnants of my munchkins servings sooner than any other treat

❤ I now live two blocks from cannoli capital of Sydney

I

❤

❤  you're made by a company with a conscience: BPA & phthalate free; vegetable based inks; water-based solvent adhesives, recyclable... I probably wouldn't bat an eyelid if they told me they just plucked you fresh out of the ground each day

❤ customisable with included sheets of kooky stickers - I think supervision on application would be advisable... if your munchkins are anything like mine things could get out of control pretty quickly with all those options!

❤ So many compartments for munchkins who don't like their food to touch!  It's very tempting to make you moonlight as my toddler's dinnerplate!

I

❤

❤ you make bottle cleaning an enjoyable task

❤ that you masquerade as a vegetable

❤ you still do your job well; I will probably keep you around long after I put away all those bottles for good

I

❤

❤ made of 100% beeswax, you smell good enough to eat

❤ you last forever... except now that my 18mth old has discovered the above fact

❤ perfectly shaped for munchkins to handle & virtually* indestructible, your colours are so very vibrant it makes me want to colour too!

*see point one....
