An unwelcome development
The Princess has added blackmail to her accomplishments.  This week’s favourite phrase is “put down Michael/Daniel or I’ll be bold”.  Non-Irish readers please note that she is not threatening us with bravery; Irish people say bold while the rest of the English speaking world opts for naughty.

I’m sure it is just a phase. A fifteen-year phase, but a phase nonetheless…. ���

That’s a very bright little girl. I wonder where she gets it from? ���

Has nothing to do with the rest.
I was watching cartoons very early this morning with son nr. 2 and saw that one was produced by a company called Belgian Waffles.

Good Lord – what sort of wonderful parenting techniques are you using?? Such a talent will serve her marvellously in future life…
(ps – is ‘bold’ only an Irish thing?) 0

I’m going to make this blog off-limits to our daughter – I fear the Princess will become her role model. 1

We picked
up the boys’ passports yesterday.  Apparently we are the proud parents of
Michael and Danile.  How hard is it to spell Daniel?  Pshaw.

Public servants are always right. Apparently, YOU have been misspelling his name all along.

Is that going to embarassingly clash with the spelling in any other documents, do you think? Identity card? Could be irritating….. 0

All quiet on the home front


Posted in: Boys, Daniel, Michael, Mr. Waffle, Princess

The boys were 2 months old yesterday. They weigh 5.3 and 4 kilos respectively. Daniel only woke up once last night. Michael stayed awake all night muttering darkly about a cold his father has given him. We have received in the post two very nice tops for the boys and a blank card. Was it you? Did you send us these tops?

It snowed over the weekend. The Princess was entranced. Her father took her to the circus which was ok but not as exciting as the light wand thingy L’s father bought her.

I would like to second Negrito’s review of the Belga Queen and add that seeing these toilets for the first time when you are nine months pregnant is enough to give you heart failure.

would it be really awful of me to claim responsibility for those tops, making myself look, simultaneously, like an amazingly generous, giving woman and a fashion guru for 2-month old boys?
It would?
Damn. 0

I come back
to the dinner table from the kitchen to find Princess sitting in solitary
splendour, Michael in a bouncy chair and Mr. Waffle and Daniel gone. 
“What happened?” I ask her.

“Daniel was
sick on Daddy.  On his trousers and on
his t-shirt and on the floor” she gestures expansively “and Daddy say ‘fuck!’”.

Should I say that Irish people swear more than others? Or did you know that already? Lots more than Americans who I find are quite alarmingly polite and nothing like on the telly.. 0

God, I’d be hopeless, I would keep giggling and, as kids do love an appreciative audience, it wouldn’t help matters one bit so you’d probably have to put me on the naughty step as an example! :o) 0

Put Upon


Posted in: Boys, Daniel, Michael, Princess

Parent 1: I’m going to clean the kitchen.
Parent 2: Yes, why don’t you have a little break?

Other things that now constitute a little break: putting out the bins, washing teeth, having a shower.

If you want a holiday, I have a lot of housework to be done…

Waffly, you have my utmost respect and admiration x

giftofthegab

Diva
Men are barking mad! ;o)

belgianwaffle
A number of you are making sexist assumptions in relation to who said what..

poggle
But are they right?

belgianwaffle
Um, yeah, but he does the laundry..

poggle
Gotcha. Hee hee.

Break in my house also constitutes going to the grocery store.

belgianwaffle
Smart pog.
SJ, that IS a break.

Lilo
I’m the same – and I’d add having a pee to my ‘having a little break’ list.

You get to go on your own???
