Thanks

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

Thank you everyone, for your lovely comments/emails.  You provided some much needed support and encouragement just when I needed it most. I am happy to report that last night E did a whole lot better than usual, only waking at 9:30, followed by 1:30, resettling herself at 5 ish before waking at 6 for a [...]

“Mummy, you should go to work. Daddy needs to stay at home ‘cos it would be better that way. He’s fun.”

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Precisely the boost to the self esteem that I needed today.  And it was professed without prompting, so I can’t even blame mr hissychick. Then again, just how seriously should I take something uttered by a little person who keeps trying to climb into the television to join Iggle Piggle, Upsy Daisy, Gavin*, and Bobo [...]

Of comfort toys and the comedic stylings of the threenager

Friday, June 6th, 2008

E has given her beloved Snugzee a new name, and that is “Dee dee”. It’s so cute to see her cruise/crawl to her cot when she’s tired, exclaim “Dee!Dee!” as she drags said comfort toy through the bars of her cot and gives him a big cuddle. He’s not just a sleeptime friend anymore either. [...]

And the second (and third) nominee for WWM 08 is…..

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

…me. Again. Nomination #2 For outstanding performance in failing to prevent potentially IQ reducing head injuries in the cruising soon to be toddler I give you: Being aware of the potential danger but too distracted to prevent what I saw was coming not once, but twice on Monday, resulting in a bruised forehead and an [...]

WWM 08

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Many moons ago, I wrote about my inaugural WWM* award. Another baby, another year and so it is fitting that I reprise this rather dubious title. And here’s my first self nomination. In the category of outstanding achievement in the field of patience I give you: Yelling at my ten month old to SHUT THE [...]

They win

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

A has finally started to dress herself, and as is her usual way is getting rather frustrated at any attempt that is less than perfect.  I have found myself on the receiving end of  “Nononononono I DON’T want your help” and “Go away, stop looking at me” delivered with a set of jaw and a [...]

E the connoisseur (another fine parenting example)

Monday, April 7th, 2008

E managed to consume a small quantity of Dettol waterless handwash just before bed last night. How she even managed to obtain the offending pump still amazes me because it involved real climbing skill. Of course it had absolutely nothing to do with a lapse in supervision while I was attending to A’s ablutions. I [...]

Experiences that I don’t care to repeat

Friday, March 28th, 2008

The funny: Having to calmly explain to A within earshot of the other highly amused Mums at mother’s group yesterday that no she couldn’t wee standing up like her mate N because she doesn’t have a penis.  Only to catch her a few hours later at home as she was about to STAND on the [...]

Taking a mini break

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Dear internets, I am going to take a mini break from posting* but I’ll be back next week.  I need to ignore the fact that I am turning 32 on Saturday spend some quality time with my family over the Easter break stressing myself stupid over E’s refusal to breastfeed after her first morning feed [...]

Stating the obvious

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Apologies in advance for the non witty and poorly written post. But. But. I’m going to start with the positives: E does high fives and can now perch up  on her knees as she plays and reaches for toys, a key precusror to pulling to a stand.. A has started to draw pictures you can [...]
