How do I stop giggling?

Kane and I often have little Mum and son time in the afternoons - stupid little games, usually involving him pushing me over and using me as a hill to push his trucks over (the dog doesn't stay still long enough). He knows that if he plays to rough, I'll say "ouch" in a growly voice, and play time is over.

He learnt a new trick a couple of days ago, giving me a head-butt kiss, or otherwise deliberately playing rough, then clamping a little pudgy hand over my mouth so I can't growl him.

How the hell do I stop myself dissolving in a fit of giggles?

Exhausted!

Wow what a little dynamo I have - he won't stop moving!

I now have plastic trellis attached to the front gate so a certain little monkey can't climb it any more. Well almost. I thought I had bought a 5m roll of the stuff but it was only a 3m one - I have a 1m gap that I still have to fill, but it is nice and tidy, removable if I have to, and already pissing Kane off royally!! I have planted a couple of pots of strawberry plants though, which hopefully will make up for losing his jungle-gym when they fruit!

My house is a tip - he helped me pot up the strawberries so I have potting mix all over my kitchen floor (I really must vacuum this arvo). He has also been helping me tidy the house... grabbing the newly filled toy box and tipping it out all over the floor and handing the empty box to me so mummy can play her game again - how thoughtful...

But at least he hasn't been into my lipsticks again. As I only have two unmarred ones left (one is brand new that I got to replace the dozen he destroyed), I have left them on top of the fridge - God knows where I wil hide them come summer, they will melt in the sun where they are now!

OMG! I am soooo embarrased

Bloody boys!

I have a small hole in the front of my computer. Kane has had a go at it a couple of times but it is too small, well we both THOUGHT it was. While on the phone to the FireFighters Credit union, I had to get off in a hurry and call the fire service....

Kane decided to have a more determined go at the hole - pushed ans pushed and pushed until his finger went into the hole.... and wouldn't come out.....

Had to call the calvalry - luckily the truck from Johnsonville turned up, rather than the local boys or I would never have lived it down!!

No doubt I will get a lot of ribbing anyway, but as none of them were actually there it won't be too bad

New tricks...

Look Mum!!! a truck:


I wanna go see:


Dammit that's as high as I can get


And he is a demandingly cute little sod. This morning at playcentre Hillary and I watched him from across the hall. Usually every now and again, he runs up to me, demands a hug then runs off to continue playing. This morning I was too far away. He spotted me, saw another woman was much closer (a complete stranger) and tugged on her skirt "UP UP UP!!!!!" until she picked him up, gave her a big hug and a quick kiss and then ran away to play again, leaving her looking very bewildered! Hilary and I just about wet ourselves laughing :)

I have a bone to pick with you Nana!!!

You know how a few weeks ago when you were going out for the evening, you very carefully showed Kane how you put on your makeup?

Kane threw a snit with me for daring to shut him out of the bathroom to have a shower in peace. I got out of the shower to find that he had opened my bedroom door and had several of my best lipsticks out in the lounge....He had very carefully bitten the tips off them all, put his lipstick on (he had very artfully painted a multi-coloured clown smile on), and was in the process of trying to get the dog to stay still long enough to put lipstick on her too!!!

Ta Mum, much appreciated!!!

Big Day for the little man

First day with his new daycare lady. My first weekday morning off. He was a perfect ittle angel. Helped tania bake cookies and change her 2month old's nappy - Kane knows nappies go in the bin.....took off with conrad's and tried to find the bin in the strange house and told her off when he couldn't find it!
