I am delighted to welcome Kirsty Russell from Positive Special Needs Parenting to the Play with Food blog. Kirsty read my post on “9 things not to say to the parent of a fussy eater” and replied to me saying that she’d heard them ALL.

Miss V: good, because lots of people will like MY video.

2] She has a darn good memory as we filmed and blogged her making sushi 18 months ago.
