Sunday, February 15th, 2009A belated birthday post
Friday, February 6th, 2009My beloved miss A, Today you are four years and one week old, testament to the fact that time flies so quickly. Somehow I blinked, and you went from this: To this: What a beautiful, thoughtful and intelligent wonder you’ve become. A magic switch was flicked last Friday (“Mummy, I was lying in my bed [...]
This post has it all: boob flashing, potty mouth and out and out hypocrisy
Sunday, December 21st, 2008We’re off to Melbourne tomorrow for sixteen days, and unless mr hissychick Santa is generous enough to bring me one of the netbooks that I have been coveting then my presence online will be at best erratic. Anyway. Before I rush off to finish packing far too much useless crap and not enough of what [...]
“Mummy where was I before I was born and exist(er)ed?”
Thursday, December 11th, 2008I am so waving the white flag right now.
Odds and ends
Friday, December 5th, 2008Am still here, dear people inside the computer, I just don’t have an awful lot to say right now. A is my adorable angel thanks to her lovely current regime of sleeping from 8:30 pm to 8:30 am (!!). I’m fairly certain she is also undergoing a massive developmental leap, as now she is doing [...]
Completely suss(ed)
Thursday, November 20th, 2008A (playing with some new Little People that I had thrown into our weekly shopping on a $4 whim): Emily*, I need a plane for my dollies so that we can fly to Nanny and Pa’s house together. Me: Well why don’t you write a letter to Santa and ask him? You never know, if [...]
“I was just pretending to be a money box”
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008That was the reason we overheard A giving her Melbourne based grandparents on the phone tonight for Friday night’s shenanigans. Funny as that was I most certainly wasn’t laughing when mr hissychick told me that he had called an ambulance en route to the hospital when A was drooling because she was unable to swallow [...]
“Daddy why are you shorter than Mummy? I know…it’s because you have to go to work isn’t it?”
Monday, October 27th, 2008Thank you and goodnight.
Bad karma
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008This morning, for the thousandth time, I offered A the option of doing what I asked or going to the thinking/whinging/please just get the hell away from me chair. You know what she said? “That’s not my choice Mummy, they’re YOUR choices. I want MY choice…where’s MY choice… (I started to do the 123 count)…stop [...]
Shades of A and E
Saturday, September 27th, 2008A is currently fixated with drawing and writing her name (forwards, and, rather intriguingly, backwards too). Happily this means that at the first sign of boredom all I have to do is whip out some paper and textas and away she goes. We’ve had rainbows, spiders (!!), pictures of the family at the beach and [...]
