Triple tantrum as done by Emma

Well, Emma has entered a lovely age of terrible 2s, the emotions are running high, this morning we had a triple one, first she wouldn't get up and had a total meltdown, when I tried to take her bag off she just wouldn't have it, then proceeded to kick and scream as she wouldn't get dressed... Eventually after ten minutes of talking into dressing up, we went downstairs and she demanded I give her a biscuit, I said no biscuit until after breakfast, then she whispered 'chocolate' I said no chocolate and then she lost it again... Daniel then turned towards her and said 'naughty Emma' and she lashed out at Daniel too... So we are in a lovely emotional rollercoaster, where is my 'easy' smiley little girl gone???

Happy Birthday Emma...

Emma turned 2 on 6th February... Here is a little video to see her blowing out her TWO candles...

Correction to last post... The party will be held from 2pm till 4pm...

Emma's 2nd Birthday Party

Invitation to friends and family...

Emma's 2nd birthday party will be held on Saturday 23rd February 2008 at Stepps Community Hall from 1pm till 5pm... Hope you can make it...

Lazy, Lazy Blogger!

I have not posted for ages... It's terrible... I never have the time to do any correspondence these days, even emails to friends are short and rare... So, 2008 is here and it's time to make one resolution I am sure to break, to write more blog! But really, the whole purpose of this was to make a record of our family so that, when they are older, Daniel and Emma can read and laugh (and even more probably) cry at the stuff I would have written... I can't believe that Emma is going to be 2 very soon and Daniel is 3 1/2 already. Where have my babies gone??????

So what are they like? Daniel is 3 1/2 and he is a happy child who loves TV (surprise surprise NOT)... He loves his little sister but he can also wind her up BIG time... Emma is happy but for the most part she is suffering from terrible twos (that's another post, see below)!

Merry Christmas

Christmas has arrived.... it's Christmas morning... a bright crisp morning here in Stepps... Emma is up as usual early (6am) and she is very excited, this is her 2nd Christmas and she has been eyeing the Christmas tree and the presents... for days... wondering why she can't open them ... Daniel still sleepingon the other hand loves his sleep (a bit like Alan really) and he got up after 8am (still in pyjamas) and went straight to the tree to open his first Christmas present... And there were lots of presents to open...


Daniel got:

• lots of puzzles (he is really into them) for example he got Thomas the Tank puzzle, Incredibles, the Power Rangers Mystic Force, Shrek puzzle...
• lots of clothes (including a white t-shirt with Tom & Jerry - made by Vanja)
• books including the entire Thomas the Tank engine collection (50 books) as well as Shrek the third and Thomas the Tank 2008 annual
• cars including big jeep and jet skis
• shrek the third DVD and Tom & Jerry Tales vol 1 & 2 dvds (joint present with emma)
  

Emma got:

• puzzles too, she is also into puzzles
• toy kitchen
• clothes
• Doll cottage
• doll called Eva
  

I am almost two... and terrible too!

So I am almost two and I am going to shout about it. No seriously, everything bothers me... I hate when they make me do things I don't like... I love NO, it's my favourite word in the whole world... I don't like when Daniel tells me that I like something, I instantly don't like that... I will always try to be unreasonable! Yes, so I'm two, going on twenty... If I call my mum, she needs to answer within two seconds or I'll scream my head off as if something terrible has happened. And if I don't get my own way, then everyone watch out... you are all in trouble... And I only want one of something, so when I said I want chocolate, my mummy will say you can't have chocolate and I will say 'just one', she will say none, I say one, be reasonable... JUST ONE!!!!!!
