28/365 Joyful Words

This morning we braved sub-zero temperatures to go to the park and take some photos. Ok. It probably wasn’t sub-zero. And drama queen tendencies notwithstanding, I’m told that yesterday was the coldest day in 30 years. It always amazing how much I enjoy new words. Today it was ‘pel-can!’ (translation: pelican). And as the lone [...]

Mooshy

Who wouldn’t want to kiss those mooshy cheeks? It’s no secret (if you twitter) that I’ve been feeling a little low. A few things happened today to cheer me up. When I got in the shower this morning there was a lovely message from Mr Goog using the foam letters that we have in there [...]

The Language Explosion

Riley has started talking. Even when she’s not actually saying words (at least not ones that I can understand) she babbles. Today she sang along to ‘Twinkle Twinkle’. I nearly died from the cuteness of it alone. She has been starting to say words and mimic words for awhile. But I have really seen it [...]

Mummy, Don't

I am extremely soft-hearted when it comes to Riley. I don’t think twice about her sharing our bed when she wants to, lying down with her if she needs company to go to sleep, reading her a story when I’m trying to get work done or cuddling her through a tantrum. It’s not always convenient, [...]

Little Girl Hands

The theme this week at i heart faces is hands on fun. My struggle? Getting the energiser bunny to stay still long enough for me to even have a hope of capturing those busy, busy hands. And in the end I was only able to get one of them. It’s a victory, trust me. It’s [...]

No, No, Me, Me!

I think it’s quite possible that all I will hear for the next year is “No! No!” and “Me!, Me!”. My ears are bleeding, seriously. I can even here the phrases echoing in my ear when she’s not saying them (because she’s asleep). I’ve been threatening to walk around all day with headphones on for [...]

Every Age is My Favourite

I never thought I’d be one to particularly enjoy the toddler years. The tantrums, the not having a clue what they’re saying half the time, the wilfullness. But in true, biased parent style, every age is my favourite. And there’s a lot to love about the toddler stage. The beginning of words (even if I [...]

The Googy

Fair Warning – this is going to be one of those super mooshy posts where I wax lyrical about how much I love my baby. If it’s not your kind of thing you may want to skip over it or get a bucket. But don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I’ve had a rough [...]

Favourite Blog Posts of 2009

I read Best Blog Posts of 2009 at Scary Mommy and thought it was a pretty cool idea – if I have only got 6 months to choose from. I started this blog in July, thinking that it would be fun to do every now and then, but it quickly became more addictive than I’d [...]
