Threenager alert
« Previous EntriesStill here. Just.
Thursday, July 31st, 2008And no that has nothing to do with my MIL, who has been a massive help and company and the reason I was able to get my first proper hair cut and colour in four years (side note: I’m not that keen on the red foils), something to do with the two to one nap […]
The eye has it
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008That little heart sticker that I tried to remove from A’s eye yesterday has magically reappeared and we have not been able to extract it from its cosy little position beneath her bottom eyelid. So mr hissychick has just taken our little punk chick to the GP after hours clinic attached to the nearest […]
Testing…one..doo..Memo to clothing manufacturers: builder’s cleavage is not appropriate for a threenager
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008What the hell is it with little girls’ clothing? I am sick to death of the fact that all pants and undies from the usual big chain department stores are hipster style, and no matter how big they are A’s little bottom keeps peeping out of the top. She’s not in the least bit comfortable, […]
Three years five months
Friday, July 4th, 2008You talk and discuss and muse aloud, using words such as interested, dangerous and probiotic in their appropriate contexts with consummate ease. You have so many funny sayings and philosophical questions, as I have faithfully recorded so many times on this blog.
You can dress yourself from head to toe, patiently threading the straps of your […]
Dismissed
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Me: So what did you do at preschool today?
A (ignoring me):……………
Me (a few moments later): A, did you have fun today? What sorts of things did you do?
A (ignoring me again):……
Me (persisting after a short pause): Painting? Dress ups? Play….
A (sighing and cutting me off): Mummy, I don’t know. I’ll tell you tomorrow OK? Stop […]
“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, 2008Precisely 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 the […]
Of comfort toys and the comedic stylings of the threenager
Friday, June 6th, 2008E 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 […]
“When I grow up, I’m going to get an earring in my tongue”
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Yes, A uttered those words to me upon spying a picture of a tongue pierced girl at the dental clinic this morning. And I couldn’t even say no seeing as her father only got rid of his in the last year.
Other gems from today include:
“If you’re naughty Daddy I will bite you on the boob” […]
They win
Thursday, May 1st, 2008A 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 […]
Excuse me while I catch up
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Hellloooo internets. I’m back. Miss me?
I’ll fill you in a few holiday highlights before I head back to sorting out the massive backlog of washing. How selfish of the children to need clean clothing.
Anyway.
A good time was had by all and there were no inlaw related hissyfits thrown by me (yes I know!). We all […]
