The fact is I haven't watched a daytime show for about 2 years. My son hates them and I don't want him having the TV on all the time anyway. He has also taken a dislike to music, me singing and just general everyday things.
I never get a lie in, we get up at 6.30am no matter what time he goes to bed. When he is ill I have no sleep, I can't because of worry, his crying & generally he wants his Mummy so ends up in bed with me. It's like sleeping with a slippery eel who doesn't want the covers over me or him. Brrr!!
I have so many plans, Ebay, tidying, baking but he has other ideas. A Supermarket trip involves taking so many things with us. When we're there we have to spend 10 minutes looking at toys. He also likes to put things in the trolley and then goes mad when I put them back. Toddlers like to assert their independence. That is part of learning to be their own person. You can't control them like a puppet on the string.
He's interested in everything I do - I'm scanning books for Amazon he thinks it's a great game just taking pictures of books and so starts pulling every book off the shelf. I'm taking photo's for Ebay, many have his arms and legs on as he thinks that he can help me. All very sweet but difficult to get on.
I take him to nursery, a few hours to myself? Nope I mop the floor, tidy up & do all the jobs I can't when he's there.
I have to sit by him & join in every game. Yes I chose to have him & I love spending time with him. But! My day is not my own, it revolves completely round him. Babies probably take up even more time. But heck I wouldn't change it for the world (roll on when he goes to school!!)
