Girl friend

Older boy has a girlfriend. He talks about her quite a bit

Last week was the end of term Easter fair. I saw them together. They were like this

Yes they are 3. Yes there was quite a lot of kissing

So I asked him when we got home what he liked so much about her

Match made in Heaven!!

Nappy washing day

Picture the scene. It's nappy washing day and everything is going well. Younger one is in a fresh clean nappy, the weather is perfect of drying and they are all in the washing machine.

Everything is going well when one of 3 things happens. I mean ALWAYS happens..

Number 1

I forget one nappy which is wet and smelly and has to wait another 2/3 days to get washed

Number 2

It starts raining. As any cloth nappy user will know, it's hard getting nappies dry inside when your heating isn't on

And at number 3

The poop-splosion. Obviously the youngest ones favourite. And a poop-splosion will ALWAYS happen just as you have turned the washing machine on, so again it has to wait another 2/3 days to get washed

If I'm feeling really unlucky then all three will happen but I'm guaranteed that one of them will

Older boy going on the potty

Older boy has a potty down stairs as walking upstairs for a 3 year old to go to the toilet is WAY too much effort. Younger boy has just become interested in it. This started a few days ago when he was crying because I was going upstairs to go to the toilet.

So when I came back down he kept pointing to the potty so I got down to him and he sat on it, quite happy, just with all his clothes on.

Since then he has decided every time Older boy uses the potty he has to go and watch. Older boy is quite happy with this

With this new potty excitement Younger boy has learned a very important word

So now when Older boy actually does a poo it goes like this

(I have no idea why Older boy has to do some yoga pose for me to wipe his bum)

He does often get a good look before I move the potty (a 'my speed' issue). But I've said it before and I'll say it again. Boys are gross!!!

I can taste the bubbles

American Pie 2. Have you seen it? The bit where the character Stifler thinks he's having Champaign poured on him but it's actually wee?

Picture the scene. It's nearly bedtime and the boys are playing with Daddy, mid getting ready for bed, so they are naked. Younger boy is on the bed. He moves close to the edge and holding tightly onto the bed rail...

People who help us

We got a letter today from Pre school today telling us what is going on this term. The letter said that they would be getting a visit from 'people who help us' so the police, fire service and paramedics.

I knew this was happening so we have been telling him the police were coming first and he's been excited.

So we asked him

I think he was feeling a bit optimistic 

Kissing it better

I like kissing my children, but they are boys, and not that keen on kisses. So when they hurt them self it's a great excuse to give them a big kiss and a cuddle.

It was bed time and they boys were playing around with nothing on. I nipped downstairs for something and I could hear Older boy shouting "Mummy! Mummy!" So I got upstairs and asked him what was wrong

I see him grabbing at his crotch. But I ask anyway in case I'm wrong. Fearing the worst he lefts up his willy and says says...

Now I love my son, but the 'get better kisses' have their limitations!!

I'm saved!!

Teenagers

Earlier today me and the family were out walking when a car came screeching to a halt in a lay-by in front of us, full of teenagers. Another one squeezed them self in. Then I had a thought. A thought that made me feel old. But I said it out loud never the less
