Dilemma - should I skip bathtime?

Strange reactions

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:24:00 +0100

I walked up the little set of steps today. I know it’s not really interesting news, but the real subject of this post is my parent’s strange reaction. They were very excited and discussed how I did it for ages. I really don’t understand. They do it pretty much everytime (occasionally I get them to bump down with me!), so why is it a big thing when I choose to do it too.

Two favourite requests

I love to ask mama to “catcht you”, because when I do she will chase me and throw me around when she gets me. And sometimes I just need “durdles” like when I’ve hurt myself or feel sad. When I ask for them I get squeezed tight in mama’s or Dada’s arms.

Today was my birthday, mama and Dada insisted on me sitting on the sofa with them so I could smile before a big flash of blinding light happened over and over.

Then mama and Dada made me stand on the little flat white square, which I usually like to sit on or stand on leaning on the wall. This time I had to stand without leaning and very still. After a little while they clapped and congratulated me I was 9.7kg, so that must be good.

Then I was very good standing in front of the tree, so mama wrote on it. It means I’m 75cm. I think this was good too as I got another clap.

All this forced activity has made me tired, so I’m off for my usual afternoon nap.

Fun in the Sun

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 07:13:00 +0100

Spent the day in Queen’s Park with mummy. We saw lots of doggies, a bee (which mummy said was busy and so didn’t have time for being tickled), budgies, goats, chickens, a rabbit, a hoover fly and lots of planes.

After a nap, I played with K and his mummy. But I really wanted to play ball with lots of other children. I got a tasty ice cream, but mummy ate loads before I could, though she let me finish it. Then we went to play on the slide and climbing frames.

It’s been a busy, but fun day, so I am off to bed.

I have 6 teeth trying to poke their way through my gums, so my mouth is in lots of pain. I’m doing the best I can to get through each day and night ignoring the parin. However, if I suddenly decided to scream and cry for no apparent reason or get cross when I wouldn’t usually, please understand that I just need a hug.

Daddy finished putting together a QuadroPlay castle today (he ran out of connectors and had to order more, silly!). Here I am playing on it.

Sofa Day!

I’ve got the sick bug that’s going around, so just spending most of my time sleeping.

I blame mama she should know better was texting my Auntie Laura when my cousins were unwell. Everyone knows that germs get passed on through contact!

This is my new favourite game. I’ve been playing it for the last few weeks since mama’s been letting me walk home from Lizzie’s.

I go into people’s gardens or run up their garden paths. The aim is to get as far as I can before mama catches me then I go onto the next one.

Today, when mama put me down to walk (she says she has to carry me across the road) I reminded her there was a cat in one of them, so she could help me look for it again.

Gotta go having a soak in a bubble bath.

On our way out

Holding on, on the bus

On daddy in the park

Tired after a long day

We went to the science museum today. We had to get there on the bus where Mummy and Daddy let me sit in my own seat and hold on like a big girl.

At the museum I played with some boats in a water experiment, there were lots of other children playing too. Then we walked around a very funny place. It had loads of exciting things to touch and run around and through. After lunch I had a nap while Mummy and Daddy looked at some boring stuff.

When I woke from my nap we were in a park. I got to run around loads, chasing dogs and birds and squirrels. Daddy carried me on his shoulders so I could see high in to the trees. We sat by a pond and fed all the animals there. I walked really far through the park, so much that when we got home I was really really tired and fell asleep on Mummy on the sofa

It was a really fun day.

Why don't parents listen?

I’ve been trying to tell mama and Dada that I have more teeth coming through and am therefore in lots of pain to no avail.

Yesterday mama was making dinner when my gums just suddenly really hurt. I was unconsolable, she came in to ‘be with me’ and then when I did not stop picked me up for a little while, but then said “I have to put you down Ada, so I can make the dinner.” Er, mama the last thing I cared about at that time was dinner, I’m in serious pain!

Today, I tried again, by suddenly getting upset during my bath. I thought this would work as there was no other reason I could be upset, they were both with me, I’d not hurt myself and I love baths. But no, fair enough they did quickly get me out of the bath, but I had to cry so much I was a little sick and it seemed only my refusal to brush my teeth, which I usually love, but could not face at that moment in time, started them thinking about my teeth. Though I wasn’t too impressed that they still tried to get me dressed.

Finally, Dada gave me some teething gel and said he could feel teeth. D’uh, what have I been telling you for the last few days, maybe you should listen rather than just replying “Really”.

So I have 2 or 4 teeth coming through towards the back of my mouth all at the top.
