Hey all

Lauren: No I don't have an issue with Livi eating. She is an eating machine lol. Isaac on the other hand refuses to eat dinner most nights. He takes 2 mouthfuls and says he is done. It drives me insane

[kitten2b]

Fia is also fussy eater, but her fingers are in her mouth all the time - 2 year old molars i think

[Buzzie]

Well hes certainly not wasting away LOL oh well will keep on trying ... thanks everyone!

Ah Olivia is seriously doing my head in today.. she is so whiny and clingy this afternoon. all while cooking dinner she was hitting my legs and then hanging off them.. then she screamed for most of her shower then screamed while I tried dressing her and now she is sitting right beside me. ugh..

the boys aren't making life any easier right now either.. *sigh* sometimes I hate the afternoons. why oh why can't the boys keep the bloody bathroom door shut. am I asking to much???? I found olivia playing in the toilet this morning after Isaac left the door open and tonight Jacob left it open and she was playing in the sink... arrgghhh drives me mental. i can't put the gate up as Jacob and Isaac can't open it properly so it is easier to have the door shut all the time..

What do others do in regards to the bathroom. I swear we have this sort of issue with the boys

[Buzzie]

Ill join that group!! I know ash and me are really sick with colds atm but omg, he has never driven me this nuts.. 2 whole days of tantrums and screams!! ahhhhhhhhhh......

Hi mummzy - yeh 3 yos are fun aren't they ! Lol
My son is starting some serious clingy issues with 'nanna'atm and it's causing me massive issues! So over the constant crying and most of it is fake!
As nic said we are all on Facebook so that's taken over but there are a few of us that will still pop in here if someone replies

Hi All!

Well I know I am lucky that she held off this long but DD had her first major supermarket meltdown yesterday and it was not at all fun :-( She was a bit tired after Gymbaroo but I had to stop at the supermarket and she totally 'lost it' over the fact that I wouldn't buy her 'princess yoghurt' (6 of them cost the same as 12 nemo yoghurts so no I am not buying the princess yoghurt). What's annoying is she was walking so that I didn't have to lift her into the trolley (having a bit of trouble this pregnancy so didn't want to lift her unnecessarily) but then I had to lift her and carry her to the checkout, so much for making it easier on myself.
I really think that 3 is the new terrible twos. 2's were fine for us but since her third birthday she is a lot more defiant and bossy. Where has my beautifully behaved little girl gone.......
In saying that though, she is very excited about the baby arriving and is loving helping setting things up and looking at things for 'our baby' at the shops. In the last week she has also started making her own bed by herself as soon as she wakes up in the morning!

Fia is very headstrong as well. She is loving the one on one time we get now that MAria is at school, but is ot sure about gtting a brother, is determined that the baby is a girl.

I really and truly know how you feel. My miss is just such a handful (as you may notice from my FB statuses) I love her to bits but god she is so exhausting.

Yesterday at the school we picked Jacob up and as they normally do they ran to Isaac's class and that is where they usually wait for me (small school I can see them the whole time) we get there and I call out and tell them Isaac was already out and over here.. Olivia and Jacob follow me while I go deal with Isaac who was throwing his school bag around grrr.. next minute I look and Olivia and Jacob are gone. I spin around and look amongst the sea of kids and they are no where. Ethan comes along and I get him to run to the bike racks as I assume that is where they are,. Jacob is but no Olivia. I am starting to panic a little now cus there are just so many kids and she is tiny and I can't see her anywhere. i take off to the gate that we all leave from and I see her on the OUTSIDE half way tot he school crossing. Now I know we live in a small town but there is a lot of traffic between 3 and 3:30.. buses and parents ect. I freak out smack her bum but not hard. tell her what she did and they she screams and kicks me.. sigh. I carried her across the road down to the bike while she is still kicking and screaming at me. I was so embarrassed.. Our rule is you ALWAYS stop on the inside of the school gate and she is normally so good and while I know you can't always trush children I never thought she would do that...

This morning when we were leaving school I was buckling her into the bike trailer and she says get me a milshake. no Olivia we aren't going to the shops today.. GET me a MILKSHAKE NOOOOOW. No Olivia we are not going to the shops today I will make you a drink when we get home.. Then she starts screaming it at me and telling me to go to the shops now.. Ah she is so much fun to take places..

I don't know why she is like this. the boys were from time to time as kids are but they were rare and not an everyday occurence. I jumped at the chance on Tuesday when MIL asked us to drop her off while we went to look at tiles and we really took advantage of it too We were gone 3 hours.. even had a sit down lunch .

While Iw as typing this she snapped a stencil thing in hald and ripped a page out of Ethans book.. oh he is going to be so mad when he gets home.. Oh and last night she snapped her curtain rod in half.. Cannot wait to get blinds in that room but don't worry the cords will be up high and tied up. Don't trust her there

I know it sounds like she is a totally horrible child :/ but I am just posting the super bad stuff.. Somtimes she comes up and cuddles me and says mummy you are so beautiful and we get lots of kisses and cuddles. and she can be a totally sweet child but if something doesn't go her way then look out

Hi everyone i have been in out of here before but just got a little busy! My little girl is 5 tomorrow. She seems so grown up and I'm taking her to get her ears pierced shes so excited. We had kinder this year and she copes really well being one of the youngest in the class.
Off to prep next year hope everyone is going well. X
