My 6 year old son was sitting at the kitchen bench watching me make dinner with pen and notepad in hand. He asks "Mummy, what should I draw?" I was a little lost for ideas so I cheekily replied, "Draw a woman giving birth..."

He was busy (and quiet) for 2 minutes and this is what he had drawn.  Note birthpool, couch on left hand side and kitchen bench/drawers on the right, kitchen sink bottom right - I presume its a homebirth! As for the sound effects - go figure! Bless him x
