Oh boy, I can relate. Once in awhile I will ask Zoe if she ever stops talking.
You forgot to add the f-bomb she dropped today when she thought she broker her marker. hee hee!
God, don’t get me started. Zach is properly a toddler now. And it’s raining on our Papa Son Party Day so we’re STUCK IN THE HOUSE. (It wasn’t supposed to rain in Australia, drought my ear). Today he has decided:
1. That he will eat only bread.
2. That he will not sleep.
3. That power points are the only toy worth playing with.
I’m thinking of going back to work…
I’m another Mothering American living in London and finally had to comment on your blog as this made me laugh waaaay too hard today!! I loved it!
It is hard sometimes when you are actually going through this but keep writing about these experiences. One day you will look back and realize how truly precious this age is no matter the frustration. And your children will enjoy reading about it later.
Oh boy! Yup they are wonders, aren’t…so mercurial!
Poppy told her teacher that Mummy doesn’t live at home and that her sister is in fact a Unicorn called Spike….
The teacher is more concerned about the Unicorn than my fictional absence!
Zoesmom — You mean it doesn’t get better as they get older?!
Andrea –Well, that goes without saying. I have no idea where she heard that word. Ahem.
A Free Man — Yep, you’re in for it. Welcome to toddlerhood! It’s the most amusing yet simultaneously infuriating thing I have ever experienced.
Lyn — I have no intention of stopping. It will be good material for when she’s a teenager and I can embarrass her easily.
Persephone — Another American expat in London, eh? There’s loads of us! Welcome, and thanks for commenting.
Emms — Uh oh. Poppy sounds a lot like me at that age. I told my teacher that my mother was in a full body cast, merely because I liked the way she said ‘Awww’ in sympathy. I was a sick, twisted child.
