Mums confessions......

As my children were so good confessing their shenanigans not long ago, I guess I should too..... So here goes:

I "freestyle" when reading to them, make the story up as I'm going along, missing huge swathes out and showing them things in the pictures so they won't notice I'm avoiding reading half of the words.

I found these confessions on Mumsnet from other mums out there.....


 -I tell mine that the chocolate/biscuits I'm munching has nuts in so they can't have any...

-I don't always call them in to lick the beaters when I am making a cake.

-If either of my children have bumped/scraped/cut off various body parts I ask them
"Can you move it? Can you bend it?... Well it hasn't dropped off so you are ok!"


So guess this confession thing is a two way street..... Or three! Maybe we should hear from the dads too!!!!!

My 3 year old son had a BIG tantrum last week. Screaming because he did not think it was necessary to wash both hands when finished on the toilet. His argument was he only used the one hand to wipe with.... I did win the battle though but what is it with boys and lack of hand washing.......????

Some of the things I love.......

An Autumn day where the sun is shinning from a clear blue sky but it's so cold you have to wear a hat and gloves!

When my children come inside with bright red cheeks after playing in the garden!



A big cafe latte!

When my 3 year old son sings Incy Wincy Bider to me! ( he can't say sp )

When my 5 year old daughter gets a laughing fit rolling around on the floor!


When my soulmate plays Take That to me on his guitar!

Confessions of a 3 year old and a 5 year old.....

My sister (5) and I (3) are seeking forgiveness for.......

Ignoring mummy completely at dinner time when we were told to stop messing about.
Running faster when we were told to stop running at all in the house!!!
Me screaming all the way through my bath as I wanted daddy not mummy to bath me......
Throwing Lego at my sister and then denying it!!!
My sister for cutting a bit of her friend's hair playing hairdresser.... And for putting Vicks all over her body then denying it though her eyes were red and teary from the smell which is hard to hide........

We also say sorry now for all future tantrums, selective hearing as in not hearing at all what mummy says and just general shenanigans we might have to get up too!!!

No more baby......

In the summer we tried to convince our son to stop wearing a nappy. He was 3years old on the 20th of August so thought he should be ready! He wasn't and would have none of it!!!!

A week ago we came back from nursery and  he asked to have his nappy off, for good!! We took it off having lots of clean clothes ready. Not at all needed.... No any accidents! Next day in nursery he proudly told everybody: No more nappy! He is not wearing a nappy at night either. He has had 2 accidents since and none at night. So proud of our little man!!!

So I have packed all the last baby things, nappies etc away! Strange and a bit sad to think No more baby. I also had to find some jeans I've packed away cos too small. Now they fit again around his little nappy free bottom.

While I wrote this I realized  I can change colour on the writing. So enjoy (I hope...) my rainbow blog:-) I will let you decide whether it's fun, nice or annoying to read a rainbow coloured blog??
 

Proud parents.

My little boy can now ride a bike without stabilizers only 3 years and 1 month old. He learned after 2 minutes practice with daddy and only falls because he turns his head to make sure we are looking at him. And who cares if it's big sister's old bike in purple and pink!!!
