AB keeps waking KB from sleep that is very annoying for my husband and me – moments such as these don’t easily come by, you see.
So….. there must be consequences. AB must now sit on his high chair. And, because he was being naughty, he’s only got black and gray to colour with! Not a happy bunny, him!
For the softies:
Because we’re not instinctively evil parents, he got all his other colours in the end!!!
Damn straight!!
Research suggests that girls/women have better linguistic abilities. Proof: Girls completing a linguistic abilities task showed greater activity in brain areas implicated specifically in language encoding, which decipher information abstractly. Scientific American
Therefore I come well equipped to understand what my toddler is saying. 90% of the time. Like when he says poolala. That almost always means that he needs the toilet. However, almost always its a false alarm. And he will only do a poolala when he hasn’t raised the poolala alarm!
Best practice: look out for the real poolala symptoms – intense concentration unexpected of a toddler and an incredebily strong and sudden grabbing onto anything nearby-including your head, if it is within range!!
However, its the ten percentof the times he leaves me perplexed, confused, baffled….like when he says
Pi pia…..atfer great deliberation we discovered it meant paper!
Pota mean…..still a mystery- any guesses??
Fleur….which translates to floor
Opt it…open it
Stikiss….stick it
Bay can….which I now know means breaking! He said that as he broke his crayons-very considerate of him, otherwise I never would have known!

…And this is my blog.
I am an occasional blogger and a mummy of two little boys – which is just as well because I wouldn’t know what to do with princess outfits and glittery shoes!! I am very much a recent resident in mummy-dom having had two children in under two years…but given it’s a lifetimes residency, I’m sure that’s ample time to get to know all the other ever-desperate-for-a-little-nap inhabitants!
These entries, I hope, will act as memoirs and more importantly sequential material evidencing the sacrifices I have made for them – ideal when I need to emotionally blackmail them, and I am quite certain that the need will arise before long!
So here it begins! AB is 2 now and was coerced into going to nursery this morning. The little guy thought he was on his way to nanu-nana’s (grand parents) – Can I clarify that I did not mislead him – just took advantage of the situ! AB woke up at 5.30 am today – for a chat; why, that’s perfectly normal – I’m surprised you ask!!
KB is asleep, encouraged by me every few minutes to carry on doing so! KB is now three months old and is an exceptionally friendly baby. He is overjoyed at even just meeting someones eye and breaks into the most wonderful smile – everytime!
So there you go – this is an introduction to my blog. And here, I will share for any interested parties:
