Dinner Time!

I really really dislike dinner time in my house, dinner time for the children that is. I really don’t know what else to do.

Here is the story, dinner time comes, I have all these plans for what I am going to make the children. I always said that I would not make two meals, one for them, and one for us, but they eat to early and my husband is not home yet, so I wait and eat with him.

I will always sit with the children while they are eating, or should I say not eating their dinner.  I ask the Little Man what he would like for his

First Day at Pre-School

The Little Man started pre-school last week, wow that was a very interesting experience for all involved.

I left little miss with Nana & Pop so that I could concentrate on the little man and his big day. I don’t know though I think that it was a bigger day for me than for him.

He was so excited to go, he was saying in the car on the way there, “I am excited about going to school today”, I was excited for him, and I thought that I was ok with it all. UNTIL it was time to say goodbye, he just waved with this big smile on

Wrestling Champion

On New Years we went to a friends house for a BBQ, the little man was given this outfit as a present.

He thought that it was great that we were all laughing at him.

The funniest thing was that he had no idea what the outfit is, as he has never seen the wrestling (and not likely to for a while yet).

He had fun and it was very funny watching him copy the others as he didn’t really know what he was doing.

Why So Many?

The little man is going through the Why stage, he is close to 3 1/2 and I have been waiting for it to happen.  But I don’t think that we were really that ready for it, as now it is here I am going crazy.

“Why are you doing that?”
“What is that for?”
“How come those are there?”
“Why can’t I?”

My favourite ” Why haft I?”

Why so many questions for the same problem. One why would surely be enough? do we really need to ask why 4 or 5 times, it is the same answer you are going to get all 4 or 5 times.

I don’t have an issue answering the

Swimming Lessons

The Little Man goes to swimming lessons once a week, but as it was school holidays this week so we booked him in for a full week of lessons, half an hour each day.  As we have a pool at home, we think that it is important that he can at least get himself back to the edge if he falls in.

I think that it made a big difference to his swimming this time. It has taken him months to get him to put his face and head in the water, but all of a sudden it has just happened.

I was starting to get a bit worried about it,

The Little Man is Not Well

I really don’t like it when your children are sick, I feel helpless, and just wish that I could make them all better in a flash. Unfortunately it doesn’t always work that way.  Sometimes a kiss will make it all better but other times it just won’t work.

Well the poor little man had a temperature above 38℃ for a couple of days, he was really not feeling well at all, he had gone off his food, and was extremely lethargic. I took him off to the doctors on the 3rd day, and the doctor said that he had all the signs of the Chicken Pox.

Aghhh,

Well I suppose there are worse things that he could be addicted to, at least with craft he is using his creative skills.

What happened was one day I was trying to think of something different that we could do, we had had a couple of rainy days and after a few days of being inside so the children have had enough and were climbing the walls. There are only so many tea parties with the teddies that you can have in one day.

So off we went to the shops to see what we could come up with. Well we found the craft box of all craft boxes (K-Mart), it has

I have put together this blog while my children are small, you will be able to watch us grow, hopefully helping you out on the way with some tips and tricks that we find out.  But I thought that we should really start at the beginning so that you know what we have come through to get us to this point. I have written 2 parts as it is a bit long, I hope that you will hang in there and read it all.

It took us several months to conceive, after finding out that I had hyperprolactinaemia and wasn’t able to ovulate, as my body was producing very high levels
