The girl at present is what can only be described as really good company. She is finally leaving the phase where she throws a strop at any given moment. I am encouraging her to play alone a bit more (reasons why here). I recently taught her how to write her name. Which was pretty amazing. She now writes it anywhere she can. She loves drawing and play doh (grrrr messy horrible stuff).
She has started to get a bit scared of things, like baddies in films. And her ideal of a dream day out is a bit of shopping, followed by dinner in Nandos, then the cinema. Pretty much just like mine (without the booze)! Sometimes she comes out with words that blow my mind. All in all? She's ace (biased but don't care).
The boy at present is cute. Like proper, proper cute. He is super affectionate. Far more than the girl ever was. He gives the worlds best cuddles. Clings tight. He's not like his sister. He is quite shy in crowds but blossoms when you are with him one on one. Or with a few little play mates.
His favourite things to do are dancing to literally any music that comes on. He also loves putting on fairy dresses and running around chasing his sister. He is starting to talk - bot bot, stickers, cheers, hello, bye, nana, dog, ball. But mainly all I hear all day is "MINE" shouted at his sister. A sniff of future tantrums to come.
Time is going fast. My babies are growing up and as my girl says "Mummy you don't have babies any more. You have another toddler". God help us all.
This is me but I will be there a little longer than I thought in the beginning. I have a 1 year old in a few weeks and Buba will be 3 in August so for a while I will be like you and have two toddlers. They aren't babies anymore they really do grow up way too fast. I can't believe it. I feel weird to say I have a 1 and 2 1/2 year old for two months as well. That scares me a tantrum exploring getting into everything one and a attitude sassy no listening one. AHHHH Hope I come out on the other side ok. As well as you. Glad you aren't there too long. Isn't it weird to have one starting school. That's scares me Buba starts next September as he will be the youngest I am so nervous for him. Good luck hunny. #magicmoments

ReplyDeleteOh gosh my girl has been like that since two!! I have totally given up now and just let her pick stupid outfits xxx

ReplyDeleteThanks bab! It really does. I want it to stop now. Or maybe number 3??? As the husband runs away xxx
DeleteSuch cute descriptions of your kids! I would always call my son Baby out of habit and he would say Mummy I am not a baby I am Sebastian. So yes they really grow fast! #magicmoments
ReplyDeleteMy boy will forever be my baby. FOREVER!!!! xxx
DeleteLoving the fairy dress, cowboy hat and dummy combo! :-) Mine are spaced a little further apart just so that I would never have to be on my own with two toddlers :-) It has made it a little more difficult with not being able to go to toddler groups so much now because 4 year old is so over all that! Embrace the madness is all I can say X
ReplyDeleteAnd hell yes it is madness.It is quite sweet as they do run around together. But the screaming? That I could totally do without ;) xxx
DeleteExcellent blogging material to come though..!! I hope he keeps wearing the tutus, I love his outfit of the day posts.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah crazy boy toddler has got to offer up some full on crazy I recks bab! xxx
DeleteThere is a year between my two so we had that 'two toddlers' stage for a prolonged period, I don't know how I survived! haha x
ReplyDeleteOh my god! You are a total hero!!! xxx
DeleteSebastian is tottering on the tip of becoming a toddler but I am clinging on to the baby in him.......good luck!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so horrible! I want them to be little forever and ever!!! xxx
DeleteGorgeous post lovely, those two photos are just fabulous. Adorable! Good luck with this phase, we only have the one and she's a challenge enough (went to sleep at 11pm tonight - it's killing me!) #whatsthestory
