Hello! I really should be sorting out the pile of washing up and other mess but I keep popping on to active convos and not posting here, very naughty of me.
AQ dd enjoys bashing a spoon around and sort of attempting to use it but generally just flicks the contents everywhere.
Ds has gone back to witholding every time we try potty training so goodness knows when it will finally happen. Suppose at least he has had so many trial runs when it comes it will happen cleanly and quickly [hopeful]
Eli sorry about the migraines, uncle and leaving teacher but yay for SIL
Lenni for dd and preschool. My gut instinct is to say leave it and try next term. Maybe she will be happier when that little bit older and also when she isn't the only one.
EV ds is pushing boundries too. The naughty step gets regular use but it never feels like it is doing any good. He also keeps asking for TV. I really miss our recordable box we used to have as he loves to watch Thomas in the morning but I find if it is on in the morning he asks for it more, if we don't have it on at all then he seems to forget then he can have a nice snuggle in front of it before bath when he is shattered and needs to just sit! It all infuriates me though. I know it is a stage like any other but ARGH! I know that he knows that shouldn't be doing things but all I seem to say is "don't fiddle, no you don't take the batteries out, don't throw it you'll break it, don't swing ont he stairgate, what did I say? Don't swing on the gate! No! Get off your sister. Do NOT push, do not hit, do not shout. Don't yell at your sister that's my job. If you need help ask don't break it and throw a tantrum. Stop pressing buttons on the washing machine. Don't fiddle. Stop fiddling. What did I say? Stop fiddling, that means don't touch. Oh for goodness sake put it back."
He can be very sweet though. Sometimes.
Dd has a horrible cold poor girl although of course it means sleep has taken several steps back yet again Poor dh is working this weekend on the office move so he will be taking a couple of long weekends soon so she had better be over it so we can tackle her again!
My friend had a baby on Tuesday and I went for a quick snuggle yesterday evening He is so perfect and tiny and lovely, he had just finished feeding so when she handed him to me he was crashed out with a dribble of milk down his chin [broody]
Am not allowed to be broody, don't tell dh! Need to have sleep and not be on ADs.
Ds is still singing and playing in bed. Grrr. He refused to nap yesterday and really needed to so had terrors last night. I really want him to nap today!
We had a dusting of snow overnight, just when almost all the remaining snow and ice had melted! Looks like it is melting quickly thankfully but ds had a nice time chasing me round the park this morning brandishing snowballs
Off to tell him to shut up and then do the washing up before Madam decides to wake up. She is at that delightful point where you can't do anything with her around as she will either be exploring the bin, breaking the dishes or trying to climb up my leg.
