January 2010 mommies

oh guys I am a finalist in the shoo-shoes competition, please vote for me and Tristan

Christelle, Tristan also did the malkoppie but he has stopped now, was soo cute...but he started clapping his hands...
Ek sing "handjies klap, koekies bak" and then he starts clapping and he gives hi-fives (when he feels like it)

Had a chocolate (or two) and feeling better. Chocolate will do that to you. Miracle drug I tell you!!

Had such a bad night with Zani last night. She kept on moaning in her sleep and sometimes it would sound like she was crying in her sleep. Then I would jump up (can’t stand to hear her cry) and rush to her room (colliding with the blêrrie door every time) and when I get there she is sleeping. This happened about 5 times between 12 and 2. Gave her her bottle at 2 and then decided to just cut my losses and move her into bed with us, hoping that she would be more restful. I was mistaken…..she was tossing and turning like you would not believe. And as luck would have it, madam fell into a DEEEEEEP sleep just when I had to get up. She slept so soundly that when I put the light on in order to see myself in the mirror (not a pretty picture I tell you) she did not even flinch! Actually had to wake her to put her into her car chair to go to my mom. Do you think they can have bad dreams so young? I’m also worried that it might be her tummy that is bothering her as I changes her formula from S26 Gold to NAN. BAD MOMMY!!! I though that the S26 was maybe a bit too rich for her and that that was the reason she was not eating at night. So, I have changed her back and have decided to just go with the flow at night. She has a good meal at breakfast and lunch, so even if she just has a yogurt and some fruit she will be fine. I’m sure even I could not starve the poor child.

She also has a new thing that she does, we call it mal koppie. If you say to her “Mal koppie” she starts to shake her head from side to side. It is soooo cute! She picks up these things very fast, and granny loves teaching her these things.

M2B – welcome back. I would sooo love to see those videos! It must be so funny.

Annelize – sorry that I have not replied to your e-mail. Please don’t be mad  As soon as I can breath (tomorrow at about 10) I will make myself a cup of tea and write you a nice long mail.

Sorry if I have left anyone out – nothing personal. Just busy!

Keep well everyone and give all the babas wet kisses!

Also have to mobb the floors after bathtime every night. But don't complain the bath relaxes them. Just that Christiaan cries every night when he has to get dress! Any advice?

Packing up and leaving now.

Have a great afternoon and happy chatting.

Logan's reflux is better but still not right! I still have to take him for his injections! BAD MOMMY, havent even done that! Its just that my job is so crazy and my boss is a real cow when it comes to leaving the office especially when she is not here cause then I mos have to be large and in charge!

Annalize - baie oulike prentjie! Logan en Bismarck also baths together and its almost as if they swam on the tiles and I can actually bath them in my costume because Im wet when Im done! naughty kids I have!Logan seems to think that the water should not be in the bath but on the floor! Logan also takes his arms out of the car seat straps! I always scream at him in the car! He pulls on the leaver to open the door but Ive put the baby lock on so he cant open the door!

My kids also prefers dance and sing! Not story's! And 7de Laan's tune...holy moly they are tjoep stil when it plays. Bismarck cant get to the tv quick enough! Thats my silent 20 seconds every night!

My kids are Osama and Malema!

Lihani - daddy throwing water @ her
