Wayyyy Behind

I am so far behind with my blog that I have no idea where to start. But here goes! I figure anything will do, even if I just spend 5 minutes getting something posted.
Life just seems to get busier and busier, and along with that I have really struggled to find motivation lately to do anything at all, let alone update my blog. It's terrible, sometimes I am so unmotivated it's a miracle just accomplishing getting the dishes put away!

Juliet is 16 months now. She is literally doing new things every week. Truth be told, she's actually quite exhausting at the moment as she goes from one thing to the next, making messes everywhere she goes. I can't help but let out a big 'PHEW' when it's time to put her down for a nap!

We have reached that busy toddler stage where we have to make sure toilet doors are always closed so she doesn't start playing in the toilets, we have to make sure the garage door is closed so she doesn't start wandering down the driveway, we have to make sure the pantry is locked or she will be taking everything out, we have to make sure bathroom cupboards are locked or she will start pouring out shampoos and body wash into cups and other objects....and so on! Her latest activity is to climb in the bath with all her clothes on. The bath is empty, but she turns the tap on and gets herself soaked. She drags a little 'kiddie chair' over to the bath to climb in it, but after 3 or 4 times of her getting soaked, I decided to hide the chair. Now she has figured out how to climb in the bath without the chair, lol! She definitely knows how to think for herself, and she's definitely a girl because she knows (even at 1 1/2 years old) there's always another way!

At 1 1/2 she's even good at multi-tasking. I was watching her this morning walking around the house with my cell phone held up to her ear, while she was bending over flicking light switches on and off.

She can now say Mummy. or though often says mama. She loves to say 'oof, oof' when she sees a dog (or even hears the word dog). And when she sees something hot, she makes the 'h' sound twice. She's also able to say baby and always points and looks for a picture of a baby on her baby food jars or yoghurt containers.

Even though our Miss Juliet keeps me super busy and wears me out sometimes, I do love spending everyday with our precious little girl. It is so fun having her in our lives, and one thing's for sure, there's never a dull moment!

Funny Comments

Ashton walking into the supermarket quietly whispers to himself: "Please can I have macaroni and cheese, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Ashton: "I want to live with Jesus." Mummy: "Why?" Ashton: "Because he be nice to me and he gives me bread and water!"

Mummy, examining Ashton's legs, and thinking: My goodness, what hairy legs. Ashton, unimpressed with Mummy's examination, pulls away: "Don't touch them. I'm growing Daddy legs!"

Hayden gets upset at Ashton: "Right Ashton, that's it! I'm telling Jesus on you!"

Ashton with a cold: "I'm snotty as a piggy."

Hayden: "The sun is burning my eyeballs."

Hayden: "Mummy, how come your penis is missing?"

Hayden: "I get the bigger piece of cake because my skeleton is bigger."

Hayden (3yrs old) sees me get dressed in the morning and stares at my breasts with a confused look..."What thooooose be for???"

Hayden: "I don't want to finish my pizza, it's got blood all over it."

Hayden: "Ashton hit me in the heart."

Hayden learns the planets at Preschool: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Penus!

Hayden (shopping with me and whining): "My brain hurts forever because you haven't buyed me anything."

QUOTES

Like the changing leaves of fall...My little boy is now a man.

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!
--Author Unknown

There never has been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a son.
--Author Unknown

Boys are found everywhere - on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
