    What's worse is that because I'm paying for the lessons my sister in law can't work out how to stop the torture.

    There is no sound more malevolent & disturbing than the shrill squeal of a two year old trying to see if they can break a recorder.

    Agreed. Baby BP loves making music and Mrs BP hates noise. Makes for a fun combination.

    We found they preferred Vodka. Then I started to introduce them to Absolut's flavoured versions (no ulterior motive honest gov).
