One of the things I find most endearing about Little Miss is the complete honesty in what she says. Obviously she does lie, or more accurately she doesn’t answer a question, if you ask her why Usurper is crying she will say something like “welllll………… my shoe was a bit wobbly….” a complete non sequitor […]

I am not sure if it is the result of questionable parentage or just questionable parenting but I am quietly convinced that our two children are not actually sisters.
They are almost diametrically opposed when it comes to their personalities. The eldest is shy and reserved, cerebral in her approach to everything, and prone to emotional […]
Please somebody save me - I think the toddler Little Miss has got me sussed out (worked out for us older generation) and it can’t be long before she passes on these vital insights to the baby.
My authority has spent most of the weekend being undermined by everyone around me.
I was expecting it to happen […]
I have said it before and I will say it again, baby’s up until a certain age are a complete mystery. I love my own to death, but as a general rule of thumb they hold no real appeal. I think it is because they are about as interactive as watching grass grow as they […]

It is wrong to staple gun a baby to the floor - at least I am pretty sure it is frowned upon. Even if it isn’t really the baby you are stapling to the floor but the baby’s jumpsuit. I just think it is one of those thing that would cause the neighbours tongues to […]
Read Hide Everything - Baby on the loose »It is wrong to staple gun a baby to the floor - at least I am pretty sure it is frowned upon. Even if it isn’t really the baby you are stapling to the floor but the baby’s jumpsuit. I just think it is one of those thing that would cause the neighbours tongues to wag and the authorities to go ‘tsk tsk’ when they inevitably visited. But it is tempting though.
just stick them to the Go on admit it. Everyone out there with a crawling baby has these dark inner thoughts of ‘wouldn’t it be grand if you could floor in one spot for a while and know they would be there 30 seconds later’. It’s ok, I won’t tell anyone that you feel that that. Promise.
It used to be so easy didn’t it - plonk the baby down in the middle of the room and give it a balled up pair of socks to chew on and it would be happy while you folded the rest of the laundry or had a cuppa or played with the PS3. The worst thing that was going to happen was you would return to find the toddler with the baby in a deadly headlock of a hug because ‘I love them sooooooooooo much’.
But now the baby is mobile and slowly but steadily destroying everything in the house that isn’t over a 12 inches off the ground and nothing is safe. It even pulls things from a great height down around it with an almighty thud.
But not to fear - I am smarter than a baby, and cheap as well. So rather than but a baby gate to lock off various parts of the house to make it safe, guess what I did? I am really proud of this by the way! - I got some left over plastic coated chicken wire and some cable ties and secured off the most dangerous of areas.
It cost nothing, and it given the place that down home, country and western type bar feel to it as well. I am not sure that Wife is as impressed as I am though - but she never did like my taste in furniture.
