MRR has good taste daisy ! I can't wait to meet him too, he sounds like fun! Hope you are ok, your injury sounds hellish. Hope it is just a pulled muscle and it is better tomorrow.
Hi everyone else, hope you are all well. I am really hoping I pass my test in Monday, so I can drive up to see you all. I can still come if I don't, but I'll have to catch the train, which is a PITA. It might be fun though, ds is bloody obsessed with trains atm, esp Thomas. He runs round the house like a maniac most of the day going "toot, toot"!
Jammy, you are a super star mum! That all sounds very energetic! They had a big tub of pasta at toddlers on thurs, it was a farking nightmare! Ds sat in it and was eating it, he had it all squished into his shoes, trousers, nappy, hair etc. I had to strip him off to take him home in the sling. Dd was nearly as bad too, she was covered in crusty starch and slimy bits of spaghetti. Funnily enough my dcs were the only ones who seemed to get involved, everyone else's had a little play and went and did something else. One mum asked me if I bought ds for everyone else's amusement, I replied "No, I bring him to make you all realise your children aren't actually as naughty as you think they are!". Hope you have fun with the pasta!!
My ds will feed himself, but he HAS to have a fork! Even if it's finger food he still uses a fork! I made him a bowl of strawberries and blueberries to eat with his hands and he toddled off and got himself a fork! He does make a bloody mess though and hardly actually eats anything, most of the food gets chucked on the floor or spat out. He has such a short attention span that he puts something in his mouth, gives it a bit of a chew, sees something more interesting on his plate, spits out what is in his mouth and puts in the new interesting thing! This goes on until everything on his plate is half chewed, he then grabs hold of the bowl and lobs it across the room. I am very glad I have a shitty carpet!
I am absolutely physically exhausted atm. I really feel like I have never been to sleep. Ds is so tiring and wants bfing all the sodding time. I just can't be bothered to say no and have him throw himself on the floor and have a screaming hissy fit. I have had tonsilitis twice in the past month and dp doesn't make it any easier by snoring. Most nights ds and I end up on the floor in ds's room. I'm in a bad cycle of things that I really need to break. I think the first thing to sort out is ds's sleeping. He needs to sleep at night otherwise I am going to freak out. He has never, not once, slept through. last night he was awake from 1.30 til 3, just rolling and moaning and bfing.
I just feel really sorry for my poor dd. She is so lovely and I just keep snapping at her and telling her off all the time. I know that when she is naughty that she is mostly attention seeking and I feel bad that I can't give her all the attention that she needs because I can't leave ds for a second otherwise he'll kill himself. The other day I was at my parent's and I walked into the kitchen and he was stood on the worktop, he is a complete headcase!
Sorry about the self obsessed moany post there, I needed to offload!!
I'm going to bed now. Love you all xxx
