Missy.. how you doing hun? Hope youre hanging in there.
Feeb.. oh dear sorry youre having a tough time. Hope Jacob settles for you this afternoon so you can relax some.
Mel.. thanks hun. Hehe.. well i nearly got the camera out yesterday arvo to film his when we were telling him to come inside out of the rain... lol you shoulda heard it.. wasnt his finest tanty though.. there has been worse lol. Ouchie! Hope the sun burn aint too bad.
Tannis.. oh id love to get some play equipment like that for Jess.. just need a bigger back yard.. oh and $2000! lol. Oh cool re the guitar! Yeh Jess got it for Christmas last year i think it was. He loves playing it when the wiggles come on.
Tenny.. oh honey yes definately.. if you arent happy then your family isnt happy, and you must look after yourself hun. There unfortunately will always be those out there who think they know everything about parenting.. when the one major key they dont know is.. every child is different and not every piece of advice will work for everyone. Sure, listen and take it on board, but you have to do what you feel is right. Everyone has their own opinions on what is the right way to parent and bring up children.. but its only right for their children. The way you choose to raise your kids is your choice and its the only way that is right. It isnt an easy job being a mum, especially when you have more than one. Just remember no matter what, you are doing a great job and you are a wonderful mummy because you love your boys and would do anything for them. Its hard when they dont listen and throw tanties, especially in public! Jesse's the same.. but i guess you just have to say at the end of the day.. ahh well. Tomorrows another day. Everyone who has kids totally understands what you are going through and are feeling hun. And to those who dont.. pehh! They need to go bury their heads in the sand if they dont wanna hear it. Dont be sorry about ranting.. thats what we're here for
If Jesse is doing something ive said no to (ill tell him at the same time why im saying no ie if its dangerous or is daddy's or whatever) or isnt listening.. ill walk over to him and say "mummy said no". If he continues to do whatever it is (he usually has a cheeky a$$ look on his face) ill either pull him away, take away whatever it is and last resort give a smack on his hand. He knows what no means. He then may chuck a tanty, scream and carry on. If he doesnt stop after say 30 seconds, he gets taken to his room and sat on his bed where i tell him, once he's finished he can come out. If he comes back out still screaming and carrying on, he gets taken back in. When he comes out (usually has a smile on his face as he knows hes done wrong).. he comes and in his way says sorry, gives me a cuddle and a kiss to say sorry and i tell him why i said no and why he was put into his room. If we're at the shops, well thats a different story. Not much i can do except say no and may give him a smack on his hand. Theres been times where hes jsut thought it was funny to try and hit everything off the shelves as we walk by while sitting in the pram. If he continues to do it after ive said no, he'll get a smack on his hand. If its him chucking a tanty out.. like the other day.. only thing i can do is ignore it.
Mez.. oh have a wonderful and safe trip honey!!! Keiras been doing a 4-5am wake also. Just been putting the dummy in too and her music on and shes going back out. Im wondering if its anything to do with the weather. It still gets cold of a night here, but not until the wee hours.
Belle.. yeh, its pretty much windsor.. the suburb is called Clarendon but its next door to windsor.. kinda inbetween Windsor and South Windsor in a way. Its opposite the Raaf Base. Yeh for sure.
Had a little morning out this morning with the kids. Had a rain check on something for Keira for christmas which i had to pick up today otherwise we wouldnt get it for that price. Its a FisherPrice walker/stroller. So its like a walker.. but its a stroller too so she can put a bear or doll in it or whatever.. but use it to learn to walk also. Very cute. So just did that and grabbed a few groceries. Can you believe it.. i was PMSing last night and there was NO chocolate in the house!!! PMSL! We're very well stocked now
Have decided to not bother with Jesse's afternoon sleeps any more and see how we go. If he's really tired then ill put him in or he can snooze on the lounge.. but hes just having too much trouble getting to sleep at night.
OH! I have to tell you. We have recently descovered that Jesse can say "Socks".. but it doesnt sound like socks.. it sounds very defined like "F*CK". I have no idea how he is making that sound from socks.. but thats how he says socks! Oh DH and i p!ssed ourselves laughing when he first heard it.. showed Kristy and sure enough lol.. ohhh gotta love him.
