Ok so this blog has been neglecting the other increasingly interesting aspect of our lives....the challenging 2 and halfs...
Ladybug...whoaaa...she is giving us a serious run for our patience...
CREATIVITY CREATIVITY CREATIVITY without losing our sense of humour...thats is the challenging part...
JUST to get our ladybug dressed in this freaky stone age weather...at night after a warm bath (which you would think would be easy right?) is a aaaaah ok 1....2.....3.....woooosaaaaa....dont lose it moment...
Hubby decided to hell with the "HOLD HER DOWN AND DRESS HER APPROACH WHILST SHE KICKS AND SCREAMS HER HEAD OFF GOING RED HOT IN THE FACE WITH REAL TEARS RUNNING DOWN HER ANGRY FACE" ....yes people these are the AWESOME TWOS....we never got to deal with this stage with our Horsie (WOW one thankful thing I missed out on actually)
He decided "bootcamp" with exciting thrilling lets jump up and down, stretch your legs, stretch to the ceiling, sit down almost a SIMON Says game was the way to go...and well yes...it was...simple YET HIGH EFFECTIVE!
WOW Sheer BRILLIANCE...
She was HOOKED...copying daddy as he sat down, jumped up, stretched his arms,legs almost injuring himself....(and not in the way he likes) with all the thrilling exciting smiling "this is THE BEST GAME EVER" enthusiasm you have ever seen...long enough for me mamma bear - what you ma-call-it-do everything-quick -without-too-much interference person, dressed her pice by piece, first her vest, then PJ top, then a nappy (ladybug still wears one at night), then long-johns, then soft PJ pants, socks and even a quick brush of the hair (NORMALLY AN IMPOSSIBILITY)
This game ROCKED...and you know what else rocked...my stomach muscles...from all the laughing...
We managed to get our ladybug dressed, ha ha we fooled you while we all laughed and played...CREATIVITY...the best start to trying to deal with your two-something-year-old and their independence and boundary jumping nevermind pushing...
Interesting times...
Where was Horsie in all of this...watching...smiling...not fazed...
Storing this data for when he will use it...one day...
ONE DAY SOON...progress for us all
