All quiet on the home front


Posted in: Middle Child, Mr. Waffle, Princess, Twins, Youngest Child

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 guess that explains the boys’ healthy glow!

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.

Should’a gone with Cha and Mia 🙂
And thanks for the IslayGirl relay — I’m genuinely surprised and a bit flattered.
Back Early 2006 — all going well; cross my digital heart… 1

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

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
