January 2010 mommies

Shame, poor Logan! How's his reflux now?

We call Lihani Hurricane Katrina, cause when she gets home she destroys everything in seconds! She throws all the toys on the floor, all the books and leaves everything for me to pick up. Strange @ créche she is the one always putting everything away!

Weather is getting miserable, wind is blowing. Was such a nice summer's day this am.

Jems, Lihani also have her moments when she acts out, specially if she doesn't get her way. When she decides she wants something, she doesn't want to wait, SHE WANTS IT NOW!! Drives me crazy.

She started taking off the booster chair's seatbelt cause she doesn't like it round her arms. Luckilly she can't open the clip of the belt. So I've pleaded, threatened and now I just stop the car everytime, get out, put her arms back and then drive off again. She knows she's pushing me and I told her yesterday that I'm going to give her a hiding if she does it again. I've got the mirror in the car that I can watch her while driving and when she thinks I'm not looking she takes off the damn belt. What to do?

She also loves Dora (and unfortunately still the purple monster), but her all time favourite @ the moment is LOLLOS. She watches it over and over! She prefers singing and dancing dvds, not so much storytelling.

I wish I can show you the video clips on my phone of the kids fighting! I am absolutely shocked at Bismarck! You will not believe how he slaps Logan and screams back at him! Then he rides over poor Logan's toes with his walking ring then Logan cries and puts a cloth over his head the whole time until he now cries!
Its like a flippen madhouse when I get home at night! The two of them are trying to see who can scream the loudest!!! With the new tiles on the floor now they chase each other around the coffee table! Logan on his bike and Bismarck in the walking ring!
Looks like he is almost going to crawl! He has the action! Just needs to learn to lift his top body with his hands! Super lazy man genes! Typical

Logan puked in his bed this morning! Lucky I was late and the nanny was already there ***Phew*** Looked a bit It was stuck in his hair and everywhere! Blerrie reflux!

Lolli, awesome about Tristan sleeping through! Hope he keeps on giving mommy a break.
Love the walkmates shoes from Woollies. Bought Lihani some last summer, but they don't fit anymore. Have to go shoe shopping soon.

Welcome Desiree.

Congrats on the tooth Angel. Thanks for always leaving a post when you get the chance.

Liv hope you get the contract for invites! You must still remember to make a ad with your contact details on that I can e-mail to Lihani's créche so that they can e-mail it to all the moms and dads. Maybe you can get some business from there.

Stellie, hope the pain subsides quickly!

Lolli, think I it's going to rain this weekend

Hi moomies!

Missed you all. So glad to see you haven't gone Elsa. Would have missed your post.

I've started making notes of all that I wanted to reply to and then the telephone kept on interupting me & now I can't remember everything that I've scribbled down, so please forgive me if I don't reply, its not intentional!

Thank you for all the compliments! We've had an awesome day @ Christiaan's christening and he enjoyed being the centre of attention! Had a few of the family over for cake & tea, then a nice lunch, which I cooked on Saturday eve. Only went to bed @ 2:00 cause I only manage to start getting things in order after kids went to bed. The moment that you put something away, Lihani unpacks or just messes up everything that you've organised, so not getting anything done while she is around.

Christiaan cut 2 top teeth on Saturday. He was really miserable for a couple of days before and woke up so many times @ night that I lost count of how many times I got up. I just ended up putting him in bed with me but he didn't want to sleep next to me, but sort of across my chest and he kept moving around, so not too much sleep for mom, while dad snored away! Since Sunday he's seems to be getting back to his old routine, woke up once last night for a cuddle @ about 11 then slept till 5 am, bf and went straight back to sleep till just before 7.

Congrats on all the teeth lo's and mommies! Wow, Rocco 8 already!

Rocco you must enjoy your holiday. Wouldn't mind going away myself. Only 3 months to go till our holiday!

Anybody going away the long weekend?

Congrats on Bismarck 1st word m2b! Seems C is also going to say pappa before mamma. He is saying baba and something sounding like pappa. DH is repeating pappa all the way from our house till he drops C off @ granny in the morning, so he's bound to say that next. C's got this very high pitch scream when he gets excited. Drives DH crazy!

Jems-Must admit that when I saw the Barney doll at the pre-school I got a bit worried but I suppose I should make peace with the fact that he will get in contact with the Purple Terror....maybe sooner rather than later?

M2B-Yay on B saying his first word...maybe you can use this to your advantage? "he wants you", gives you a bit of hands' free time


Our hearing just settled, just when I finally got the lunch arranged? hope they will be able to cancell the platter, otherwise I will be eating toasted sarmies till it comes out of my ears.

Hope it is good weather this weekend, going to the companies garden with a friend, going to pack a picnic basket and take some photies...

Hi Stellie, its good to be back but dh will b mad tonight if I sit &chat like I'm doing now lol. We also going to have a nice big party when liam is a bit bigger. Besides the only friends his age are here on moomie lol. Strongz with the AF pains. Hope it subsides real fast.

Jems have u decided on a theme for Troy yet?
