Hi dear readers - I've been MIA again for awhile..... all of you will know by now that I'm pregnant again with my second baby, so I've actually been sequestered away in denial about having two children under the age of two!! :)
I've got heaps of things I want to post about, but for this post I just want to focus on some things that Charlotte has been doing lately that just make me laugh out loud.... they truly are funny little beings (and I say this despite the long weekend from hell punctuated last night by a projectile vomit to rival Mt Vesuvius)..... aaagh, parenthood.
things that make me laugh:
1. When the credits rolled at the end of the movie Madagascar (a movie which I found somewhat disappointing), she stood nose to nose with the TV while appearing to look DOWN into the bottom of the screen - from where the words were magically appearing!!!
2. When you ask her if she is doing something naughty (when she clearly is) and slowly shakes her head from side to side
3. When you ask her if she's cute and she nods her head
4. When she refuses to eat her food unless she's allowed to have a spoon too (this is getting really tiresome by the way). Whereupon she proceeds to spoon food onto the utensil and as she brings it to her mouth, she turns it sideways so that it all strategically falls down her shirt. Luckily for her I'm right there with a second spoonful of food else the poor child would starve if required to fend for herself..... manual dexterity has not yet been mastered.
5. When she turns and runs now when you go to pick her up and she doesn't want to be picked up because she knows it means leaving the park/going back inside/doing something else she doesn't want to do
Of course there were 1000 other things I thought of this morning while I lay awake at 3pm wondering if i should get up (once again) and have something to eat (I'm hoping there's only one baby I'm feeding in there because if I am going to have 3 children under the age of 2, there better be a doctor willing to write me a standing prescription for Valium!!!).
Until next time......
