2 thumbs & a dummy

At least not to me…whatever free time I have, I seem to spend on sewing or tracing out some pattern to sew or rarely, read a book with my feet up!! After all, sewing is my way of relaxing coz I find it extremely therapheutic and definitely helps keep me sane. This is especially when you have 2 toddlers who are FOREVER grabbing toys from one another despite there being a million and one OTHER toys all around them. But no….if KR is playing with X toy, then THAT is the toy that Arianna would also want at that point of time despite the fact that she was happily watching tv seconds ago. Or (on rare occasions) KR would snatch something from Arianna just to ‘join in’ the fun and that in turn will turn into a toddler-fight which includes hair pulling and face scratching! O joy….

No idea where they get this whole hair pulling/face scratching or even the snatching of toys away because we don’t watch violent movies in front of them despite the pile of blu ray movies that we keep neatly stacked up beside the tv, in front of them and they are being constantly reminded to not do those hurtful things to each other. Ted reckons that it’s all part and parcel of their defence reaction which he is most likely right. But honestly, sometimes it just gets ridiculous that I feel like the really bad Mummy for taking stuff away from them coz they can’t share. Of course I am hoping that they will understand that if they don’t share then no one gets to play with the toys. Sadly, it doesn’t work all the time and the irony of it all is, the BOTH of them can tell me…must SHARE toys and yet, they are like NATO, No Action Talk Only. *sigh*

Can’t wait till JR reaches this age and then I get triple the FUN. Yay me. *sigh*
