Those precious little beings in our lives...

yeah well i tried reasoning, then tried understanding in the sense of figuring out why she doesn't want to go to bed....realised she's testing me so decided to get angry that didn't work...as it never does ...lol...then i have just found that talking to her for about 10 minutes but remaining firm on the topic of too bad your going to sleep ...is what is working....lol

usually does my dear look i've got the five year old attitude kicking into notch, swap problems any time already had the bed time drama!..LOL!

aaahhh The kids are down.....what a day....I have a class that I am trying to do and all dear daughter was doing with me today, was arguaing with me with anything and everything.....all I am getting at the moment is "I don't want that" "I don't want to do that" "Sorry mum but I am not going to do that" or a big fat "No"....gggrrrr is this the way a 3 1/2 year should be acting....lol....It's driving me banana's....i don't want to argue with Cody I hate it....but seriously she is pushing her and my limits at the moment....wow. I am so dreading the teens.....

Well I have an almost 3 year old Natalie...who, at the moment, is being so good...about Christmas time last year and for about 2-3 months she became like an alien...tantrums, couldn't go anywhere with her for fear of massive tantrums..looking at her now you would never believe it. I am waiting for the next phased though. She is just beautiful at the moment.

I am also pregnant with our second, which we found out is another girl (secretly I am really glad, because I know what to do with girls LOL). And Lou, like you the first 4 months has been hell (I am 21 weeks now). I was in and out of hospital 6 times with severe vomiting and dehydration...and it was NOT fun!!! Even now I am still not 100% and feel like vomiting occassionally. I had it with Natti too, but not as sever as this time round. I lost so much weight that they were getting really worried, but I am making up for it now, I just can't stop eating LOL...especially mashed potato and beef! I hate being pregnant because ithas me down and out for so long...can't wait for the last trimester...the best part for me!

Yes Tina that is how they are suppose to act and sorry to tell you it doesn't get better as they get older my eldest is 9 going on 19

MAN I gave Anthony a hair cut yesterday.....geez it is hard to give little ones a hair cut when they are always trying to squirm their way out of your lap....and due to this he has a couple of un even chunks....lol....Not to noticible thak goodness.......and his hair came out allot shorter than I intended...lol....oh well....he does look like a little cutie though....

When we had to cut Natti's hair (we just could not brush it) on boxing day last year I just could not bring myself to do it and my MIL had to take over. She was only meant to take of a cm or 2...instead she took off about 4 inches!!! I cried for ages! Now Natti's hair is getting nice and long again and my MIL says "maybe time for another hair cut?" and I just shot back "over my dead body!!!!!!!" LOL.

when I go away DH gets out the clippers and cuts my boys hair, so next time I go away I am hiding them!

lmao....i wouldn't let anybody except a hair dresser do my girls hair...lol..After i had trimmed Cody's hair last time she grabbed the scissors off my scrap table and cut a huge chunck out of the front of her hair.....so she comes out to me and says ....look mum i look pretty...see.......aaaarrrgggg....I was so spewing because her natural fringe had just been grown out...I had to try and make it straight and work with her hair....lol...i mamaged it...but I had to start all over with, the whole hair in her eyes thing....very frustrating.....i am scared to give her scissors agian....lol.

lol....Jodie will sympathise with you there Anthea.....Dylan had a huge mop of curls very cute.....so her man takes dylan for a trim and when he comes home ....his hair was short and spiky....and jodie was like what happened to my baby boy....lol

I only let the hairdresser do the girls too..lol about hiding the clippers

Actually, I think I remember that Anthea! Weren't you away at a retreat or something?

yep, he did it in Jan when I was away for a weekend, and then again when I was at a retreat!

wasnt happy cause my middle one had gorgeous LONG red hair and he cut it so short I hardly reconised him!

Yeah, I remember that...he really did have gorgeous hair didn't he. So glad I have no boys and Daniel can't do that...he is actually getting very good at doing girls hairstyles...gotta watch him though or she might end up with something weird happening in her hair...it's the MIL I gotta watch!

don't you just love when the bubby wakes up and they wrap their arms and legs around you and snuggle their little head in your neck and make cute little noises!
