With apologies to one independent, feisty little Hispanic chick I think we have all earned the right to dance around singing “We did it!, We did it, We did it!!! - Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!”
That’s right, the baby - Usurper - has made it to her first birthday, and to top it off she is fast changing […]
Usurper is suffering from second child syndrome and is missing out on all those things that were such a big deal for Little Miss.
The latest is that she turns 1 on Wednesday (well done to her for surviving), but unlike for Little Miss there is to be no elaborate gathering.
This is not entirely our […]
When will Usurper actually take that first stuttering step towards the ultimate in freedom - bipedal movement? She is close, very very close. She will at times stand up and let go of whatever she is holding onto, standing there grinning and giggling like a maniac until she falls to her ass - at which […]

I have a simple question based on observing some young(ish) couples on the weekend - and also to be honest Wifes’ WWM08 awards on her website, and it is this:
Why when something happens on Wifes’ watch do I get to spend the next few hours of my life convincing her that ‘every child crawls up […]
I have just discovered something funnier than toddler tantrums - 10month old baby tantrums! They are just the most adorable things.

I have just discovered something funnier than toddler tantrums - 10month old baby tantrums! They are just the most adorable things.
In the last couple of days our baby Usurper has started to have the odd full blown tantrum. I don’t mean like the don’t leave me in this cot to sleep tantrum, but a real ‘I want it and an I want it my way type tantrum’.
She did one this morning where she wanted some shiny object of desire which I wouldn’t give to her. It was probably something harmless like a knife, but she really really wanted it and was not happy when I wouldn’t give it to her.
She just lay there on the ground screaming, banging her little heals and fists on the floor. It was loud, annoying and not a good portend for the future, but I just could not stop laughing. Of course there is a long way to go yet, so we will see who has the last laugh in due course.
In other news, Little Miss remains high strung and phobic about everything - toilet water running out, the battery in something going flat, a water tap being left running for two seconds, he little sister looking in the direction of any of her stuff, or our stuff, or anything really - I think she may just be baby sister phobic or something.
Looking forward to those teen years - yay! I must be looking really stressed out about it all - Wife wanted to call a nurse to check me over or something like that.
