Wonder Mum

I know I may have alluded in previous posts to a slightly annoying habit of mine that I'm sure from time to time wears poor old Mr Big down. Maybe it's genetic but I just can't seem to help myself. I always like to suggest 'improvements', no matter how wonderful the initial achievement. This is a habit I have generally learned to keep in check as I myself would find this very irritating.  So it has become something of a joke in the WM household when one such 'great idea' slips through the net and pops out of my mouth. This happened with the play house.  I couldn't help it.  It was so otherwise wonderful apart from the fact it needed a little something. Here is my revised version... With a roof! However, once Mr Big got started on the amends, he couldn't stop!   Baby A now has a wall mounted TV. So she can watch Iggle Piggle, obviously. And Daddy can finally have a little rest. But wait.  He wasn't done there... The final touch.  ...

Pre-baby, I distinctly remember a conversation whereby Mr Big was somewhat adamant, we would not be like 'other couples with children', who let their kids run riot and turn their homes into playpens. 'Oh no', he said confidently.  We would be different. We would think smarter.  And we would ensure we had at least one adult room where we could relax after baby was in bed. The room nominated was our lounge. This is what it looks like now. Mission accomplished? WM x

I don't think Baby A could believe her eyes when she realised they made furniture for her size! This kept her entertained for easily 40 minutes. Over to Mr Big to decide if he will let her have one now...I'd give in but I know he'll worry about where we will keep it (let's not forget his gifts currently take up over half our lounge!) Forgive the blurred imagery - I'm no photographer and she was trying to wave on camera! Note: this is actually from a little while ago but I have saved it til now as its a certain Baby A's birthday soon! WM x

I saw this & I really like it, so I thought I would share it with you. WM x

So this is where we were at yesterday... ...shower needs getting ever more imminent but it's definitely taking shape... WM x

I love this clip.  Reminds me just how great their bond is and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. WM x

Thought you'd like this video. You would think she was fine and all back to her usual self - but I think that was a post chocolate bunny sugar rush, as she is still not herself today :( Here are some pics of Easter morning: I thought we might have had a few dramas in  us encouraging Baby A to eat  her most favourite animal (well, apart from Miaow) - but apparently not! This was bought by my Auntie and Uncle at a 100th birthday party - very cute idea as it's an egg-warmer, so they put a chocolate egg in there for Baby A, as you will see. What you can't see is that she had another bad night, care of her cold.  I had to sleep in with her for the second night in a row, as all she wants is 'Mummy cuddles' when she is like this.  And I feel so sorry for her.  It's easier to be on hand and in the same room when she's poorly. At 4am this morning,  she puked up the phlegm that had been troubling her all day.  As usual, there was a lot o...
