Ok, this could get addictive….
So, the boy is in bed (though not in the new room as planned) – not enough time to move the cot about on a ’school night’! Fingers crossed he’ll remain asleep. It’s a lottery. No more steps today, but he is looking very confident on his feet. He’s been very cheeky since returning home also.
Him and Anna were bundling on me from the moment they walked in the door with Mum – and he was giving as good as he got, bless him. He started off life as a bit of a wuss, but I tell you what – Anna’s beaten that out of him! He’s full of trouble. Anna ran over his hand whilst pelting down the hall on a car thingy – and he didn’t bat an eyelid. Still cries when Mum or I leave the room, of course! But what little, self-respecting 10-month-old wouldn’t??!
I described Anna to a work colleague today – when asked how old she was – I said “she was 2 a couple of months ago – talks like 4, acts like 14, thinks she’s 20.” I think that pretty much sums her up – she has an excellent vocabulary for a 2 year old, she has the strops of a 14-year-old and she think she’s old enough to make her own decisions and do what she likes. Hilarious – but she’s so strong-willed. Jeez – it’s going to be an interesting few years, I can tell you.
14 hits on my post from earlier – no comments, but 14 hits. Well, we have to start somewhere. If anyone wants to share their stories of the plights of their own 2 year old girl, or their 10 month old boy – or anything really – then feel free.
inane thought of the day – whilst i don’t want my kids to grow up too fast, I won’t miss the bottle washing and sterilising. That has to be the dullest job of a parent … ever. Answers on a postcard if people can think of a duller parent task??!
Take care – time to cook dinner.
