It was a lovely Father & Daughter experience. My week old daughter and I watched Saturdays stage together, in between feeding and winding! Her first taste of cycling....great stuff! :lol:

    Ah, bless,

    Do you need a lot of feeding and winding? :wink:

    In this case the father can feed and wind himself, for example the fireside scene in Blazing Saddles. :lol:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    but then they come back - my five year old daughter and I watched every 7-8 highlights show on ITV4 for the past three weeks.

    She was very interested in it all, although i'm not sure she quite got the whole "overall leader vs stage winner thing" and perhaps it was just a good way for her to stay up late! but anyway, I enjoyed having her there.

    i have watched allthe high light shows and most of the live weekends with my duaghter 6 and my 3 sons aged 2, 4 & 6.
    Everytime Wiggins made a move they cheered and whenever Cav won a stage they were jumping up and down & shouting.
    Beats Chucklevision and enjy benjy any day.

    Excellent parenting skills. Does she prefer drifting off to the Parisian lilt of La Folie or the thumping bass of Peaches?

    My 12 year old is on summer hols and she watched a couple of stages in the afternoon so she could talk to me about it when I got home.
    If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.

    watching Cav win in Paris with my 8yo daughter - difficult to explain that the bloke in yellow won the race, even though Cav crossed the line first.... :?

    My daughters are 17 and 15. They won't even go into a room where cycling is on the TV. Apparently it is boring !

    Gkerr - I reckon its to stay up late. My child is always very attentive round about bed time. They're so crafty !
