Forgive me, but... it's one of those days.

[Lolli]

Ok, forgive me for what I'm about to say, but it really has been one of those days and I just need to get this out there.

I have spent the entire day saying "No, don't touch that". I have had a full on tantie in the shops, a small child- my small child- hit me and bite me when I picked them up to stop them running hysterically round while pulling clothes off a rack. I've been screamed at, laughed at; and clung to the point where I can't go to the bathroom alone.

Don't get me wrong, i love my little man so much it takes my breath away. But some days, like today, I wish he wasn't so curious, so intelligent, so damn quick. He just has so much energy- he goes, goes, goes from the time he wakes till the time he crashed into bed (and, no, I'm not feeding him too much sugar- that's just the way he is).

He's the ultimate baby-proof test- believe me, your house is not baby proofed until my ds has been through it. I go to the houses of the girls in my mother's group and they say "Oh, it's totally baby proof". Believe me, until the little pork chop has puched every button, pulled every cord, ran down every hallway and slammed every door (and woken up your sleeping dh ), you just don't realise how many things there are in your house to touch!!

Bless him. One day, he will be a creative, exubarant, vivavcious, intelligent man who will move mountains and create a thousand smiles on people's faces. That is, if his mother doesn't strangle him before he grows out of toddlerhood

**And yep, I know it's only going to get worse as he gets older and I haven't seen anything yet That really isn't what I need to hear today.

I hear you. We have so many safety gates in our house. He can climb anything, smear anything, spin anything, tear anything, unplug and re-plug anything, switch anything on and off, throw anything, eat anything....

I hear you.

Sending hugs your way and hoping pork chop calms down for mummy. DS is getting like that and he's only 9 months!

[aussienic]

just think tomorrow can only be better or worse. but not the same

I love curious children. Jacob is like that.. so stubborn yet so curious.. While it can be so darn frustrating I love that part of his personality as I know as he gets older he will be determined to get what he wants..

I'm with you! lol


Charlotte will get into everything all the time.
I don't know where she keeps finding pens either??? But my cream leather couch foot stool is baring the brunt of the Biro Assault 09! lol
And she climbs on things. I have to leave all the chairs 3 feet from where they live, even if they are pushed under the table she will climb up on them and move them to get on the tables

They are crazy!! If I wasnt so proud of how smart she was I would wish she wan't! lol
