  1. Oh No - School!!!

    Posted on

    Well, not school exactly, but Mummy has decided - shock horror - to send us to a creche!  

    It probably had alot to do with us trashing the lounge, never giving her a moments peace and generally running riot as only 2 year old twin boys can!

    Its only 3 mornings a week, and yes, it was hard to settle in, but we are getting to like it and make lots of new little friends. It helps us burn off a little of that excess energy, as well as learning lots of new skills. Personally we think Mummy and Daddy find it harder than we do - think they should make the most of the peace and quiet whilst they have it!

    On another note, these strange items have appeared throughout the house. We've heard them called 'Pottys' - our disallusioned parents seem to think we are interested in using them for the purpose they were created. Not likely! But they do make great racing cars/stepping stools/storage for our crayons etc - thats when we can find the crayons as they appear to keep being confiscated (it was the dog who drew on the walls Mum - honest!)

  2. Busy boys with busy lives

    Posted on

     

    We are at the age now where our personalities are really coming through.

    The terrible twos have the right name - we may not be quite 2 years old, but we can strop with the best! Be it lying on the floor kicking our legs (which Daddy seems to do quite well too!) or holding our breath and going bright red in the face, we are mastering tantrums well. We'd go so far as to say we could be heading for Gold medals!

    The artistic side is showing through too - Mummy brought us a brilliant blackboard easel where we can draw lots of piccies.  But hey - chalk is great for drawing EVERYWHERE! The red walls in the kitchen are prime targets, but we've also managed the laminate floor and curtains. Chill, Mummy, at least it rubs off (we will have to try and get our hands on the felt pens next)

    The awful weather meant days out are rare, and days to the seaside even rarer, so we now have a sand table - great fun, makes lots of mess but keeps us busy for ages.

    Daddy has a trampoline for us and he says if we ever get a dry day he will put it up!

    We are still creatures of routine though, and come 7pm on the dot are heading up the stairs for night-night.

    With our busy lives and taking in all the world has to offer, we need to recharge our batteries!

  3. Mummys favourite item

    Posted on

     

    There are a few things our Mummy loves - a lie in past 6am (rare), managing to eat her lunch without us hassling her for most of it (even rarer) and 10 minutes peace and quiet (now she's being ridiculous!)

    But there is one thing out Mummy loves more than anything else......

    Brown packing tape!

    Now any Mummy who has two little terrors like us will know how useful this underrated item is. At the moment our Mummy is using it to tape up the kitchen cupboard doors, the fridge, the freezer, the washing machine soap dispenser (shame as soap powder tastes YUMMY!), the condenser on the tumble drier and the piece of laminate on the kitchen floor that we managed to get up.

    We are thinking of marketing it as the 'must have' kitchen accessory (that along with jumbo elastic bands) - wonder if it will catch on?

     

  4. Budding Picassos!

    Posted on

     

     

    We had great fun today - Mummy and Daddy let us loose with the paint!

    A new experience for us, but we soon got the hang of it - using paint pads we got some great pictures with our handprints - although Mummy is still trying to get the blue paint from under our nails (easily washable with soap and water - not a hope!!!)

    We even managed to avoid getting any paint all over the living room, despite our best efforts with throwing a small bowl of paint across the room!

    Its the simple things in life that keep us happy....wonder what the dog will look like with a blue coat.........

  5. Potty List!

    Posted on

     

     

    Well, those folks at cow and gate did a survey of things a toddler should do before they are 3. Its called a Potty List, and 1000 Mums were asked what should be on it.

    Some lovely things on there - picking fruit, jumping in puddles, being chased by a monster, climbing a big hill, riding on Daddys shoulders......, all nice things but, as toddler twins of the world, we decided they were a bit too tame so we now present our alternative Potty List!!

    Managing to get our toys to actually play on the DVD player

    Getting our hands on all the things we have managed to post behind the skirting board

    Actually managing to climb into the oven (or 'burn' as we thought it was called)

    Scaling the Christmas tree - never mind the one at home, a nice shop one will do!

    Breaking the record for Jelly throwing

    Doing anything Special agent Oso does (jet pack activated)

    Managing to eat a whole plate of cheese (cut the rationing out Mummy!)

    Having our attempts at painting the kitchen recognised as a work of art

    Actually managing to hit Daddys head when randomly flinging bricks

    Get Mummy to realise that the curtains really ARE a jungle vine

    Be allowed to pretend we are a doggy ALL day - those biccies really are yummy!

     

    We are sure we can think of many more, but hey ho, its a start!

    And for all the people who'd like to see what the original Potty list was a version can be found here http://www.growingupmilkinfo.com/

    Inspired by parents nationwide, and endorsed by nutritionist Amanda Ursell, psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson and trends forecaster Sean Pillot de Chenece, www.growingupmilkinfo.com has released a ‘bucket list’ following suggestions from parents nationwide and endorsed by experts, that includes 36 top activities for ‘Little One-ders’

    Off to make some inroads into our list!!

  6. Happy 2012!

    We know.....it's been a while!  Let's say we've been up to our eyes in Santa and the like.  Who would have guessed this time of year was soooo exciting!

    We had some great pressies - a little sit on car each so we can practice running each other over, haring up and down the kitchen and generally creating more mayhem!  Lots of educational toys - although we still believe we can educate ourselves much better with examining the contents of the fridge/cupboards/reprogramming the washing machine.... And of course, lots of great clothes and other toys.

    New Year resolutions - well, to have as much fun as last year, Mummy would like us to get over our 'stranger' phobia so she could at least do one aisle of Tesco without us bellowing the place down, and of course, to get up and never mind walking, running!  Now that will be fun!

    Hope your 2012 is a good one xx
