Terrible Twos

When I first had my son, Joseph, everyone always told me as to how I was so lucky to have such a good baby.

Our beautiful baby boy

He slept thought the night from 6 weeks old, he never really had tantrums, or played up and was good to take out shopping. We had a bit of trouble potty training but that's about it.

Chips with Daddy

I was warned when pregnant with Lily how I was too lucky with my first and my second will be a monster. When she was born...I was in love..such a beautiful baby girl.

We names her Lily Grace, and it suited her down to the ground. She too slept through the night a 6 weeks and was always really well behaved....

I love the bath!

that was until about 6 months ago....that's right folks...we are now entering the terrible twos!!!! Dun Dun DUN!!!

Look Mum, I found the flour!

Where had my sweet little girl gone??? I use to scoff at parents bemoaning their 'terrible two year old's'. My husband and I would comment on how it was just the parenting style...look at Joseph, he never throws tantrums.

But as I prised the toothpaste out my screaming daughters hands to stop her eating it and shut the bathroom door to stop her getting it again...I stared down the barrel of a terrible two year old tantrum....I am one of those parents....

First Blog

Hi, well this is my first blog...I bet that has been that start of a b'zillion blogs, but hey...why break with tradition huh.
So I'm a 27yr old mother of a 4yr old son and a daughter who is 2. I live on Bribie Island...gods waiting room, in sunny Queensland, Australia. My Hubby and I moved over here from New Zealand in 05 for a bit of a sea change.
At the moment I'm trying to get in shape for my Friends wedding in March 2010. I'm also looking into being an egg donor for someone, which is another reason I'm trying to get fit, so I'm nice and healthy and can hopefully produce some nice healthy eggs for someone.
Its breaks my heart to think that women out there can not be as blessed as I am, to have to beautiful, healthy, happy ( slightly annoying) kids. When Hubby and I were thinking about having a sibling for my son, It took me about...hmmmm. a few weeks to get pregnant. It was great ( Hubby felt a bit ripped off lol) and to think some woman go years of heartbreak for something I can do so easily. Anyways I'm hopefully seeing a fertility place here soon, so I'm looking forward to helping someone out.
Well that's enough for now
Talk later!!
