Hang on a minute I'll just...
I wrote this book when I was looking after my three year old son. I was trying to be a perfect house-trained dad and do all the washing and cooking and cleaning so when it was all done I could relax and play. Unfortunately by the time I felt sufficiently on top of things at least one of us was too tired to do anything! Busy! Busy! Busy! is a plea to all of us to get our priorities right. After all we can wash up for the rest of our lives - Our children are young for a very short time!
