Anybody elses little girl obsessed with shoes? - July 31st 2009

Everyday Seren brings me a pair of baby shoes to put on even if they are not her's, today she is currently wearing Ieuans crocs!She also insists on putting her feet in mine and her daddys shoes (Daddys work boots are a little high to get her leg in but she does her best!!!)Yet if I put shoes on he to go out pretty much the moment she is sat down she will take them off but at home if I try to take shoes off her feet she has a hissy fit!?!?!Shoe obsessed at 17 months, Daddys bank balance may take a battering in a few years!!!

Think I am in for a bad afternoon - July 31st 2009

.....Seren has just handed me a roll of gaffer tape!Do you think this is her way of saying, we are going to do your head in today, you may aswell just gaffer tape us to our cots now?

I think Seren may speak a foreign language! - July 30th 2009

She is currently chattering away very intently with lots of signs (mainly no, all gone and duck!!!) at anyone who will listen!!! she has also taken to getting herself a book, parking herself on my lap and 'reading' the book to me in this language!! I am yet to work out what this language is though, if Ieuan knows he isnt telling!!! it is very cute though!
I have just put them down for a nap and she didnt want to take her coat off (we just 'popped' out) so she had a massive hissy fit and shouted at me in her 'language' so I think I know 'baby' for "I hate you mammy I want to wear my spotty dotty mac to bed!"

Stinky daughter, another use for gaffer tape! - July 29th 2009

To keep Serens blinkin nappy on!!! went in this morning to find she had taken her nappy off to have a poo and a wee in her cot! she found it hilarious, me not so much!!If she teaches Ieuan how to do it she can sleep in the cupboard under the stairs!

OMG Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek a lot of gaffer tape needed, I have two houdinis!!!!! - July 26th 2009

Both Seren and Ieuan have learnt how to escape!!!!!!Today they learnt how to escape their cots!! Hubby woke me to ask me if I had got Ieuan out of his cot this morning and left him to play in their bedroom, no I hadnt, Ieuan had escaped, Seren followed suit not long after!!!!! Luckily I have been insistent on keeping the gate on their door locked for a long time but am now slightly concerned that they will master how to climb that (i.e climb on a toy to get over) as their room is right at the top of a very steep flight of stairs.My house downstairs is open plan with a baby dan play pen opened out as one long room divider to keep the babies in their end and away from harm, we now have to rearrange their end of the house as they have discovered if they climb on the sofa they can climb the 'prison wall' and get into our end, hubby looked round from doing the dishes to find Seren sat on our sofa with the TV remote in hand giggling!!!Thats it now isnt it really?!?!? my life really will never be the same again, so please send any spare gaffer tape to:Harrassed mum of Ronnie and ReggieLiverpoolIm sure the postman will know its me!!!!

Can I have my tiny babies back please - July 22nd 2009

You know, the ones who stayed where I left them etc, mine still havent gone down for a nap yet and are currently climbing all over the sofa in their part of the living room, I have just had to seperate a fight on the sofa over a ball and put them on the floor again but they are back up and wrecking everything, Alf is doing his best to sleep through it, Im still waiting to jump in the shower and get dressed!!!!! come on nap time.......

STOP FIGHTING!!!! July 20th 2009

Ieuan and Seren have not stopped fighting yet today! we have had head smacking, pinching, pushing, poking all coupled with lots of screaming. Think its time to go out and hope that they will be distracted by other stuff to not fight in the buggy
