Return of the Zombie

8 Feb

My baby has been replaced with a cheeky, hyperactive 2 year old.

Oh my, I am so tired.  I really hope Master A decides to start sleeping better again.  I was up about 10 times last night, each time woken by a loud, incessant wailing of “uh oh, Mummy!”, & before stumbling back to bed after sorting out whatever drama it was that time, a chirpy “night night, Mummy!”.  Although, after about the 3rd go, this really was not seeming very cute at all.  Couple this with refusal of day time naps, & my patience has been tested to the far ends of my sanity (yet again).

I don’t know what’s up with him, but it seems like major changes are on the way.

He has decided that he doesn’t like the bath.  So we have been having a bath in the laundry tub.  As you do.

Toilet training is also on the cards.  This afternoon we bought a kiddyloo, so he can step up onto the toilet & feel safe on his little seat.  He had the choice of a Thomas Tank Engine one, or the plain blue one although I think the ladder was the selling point for him.  This afternoon, he climbed up and down about a zillion times.  Everytime he farted, he ran off to the toilet, & boy did he fart a lot (not sure why!?)  He also practiced wiping & flushing & jumping down…alas, he did not practice any actual expelling of bodily functions.

On a more positive note, he is a “big boy” now & is happy to leave dummy, Snowy & Sleepy in the top drawer in our entry way.
