'scuse me

Chatter girl aka big sister is a chatterbox(it follows, doesn't it?)
She can talk till thine kingdom come. Without pausing. She started talking very clearly very early, and at 2 1/2 spoke more clearly than most of the almost 4 year olds in her play school class.

It's really nice, but when she starts talking, no one, not even her father and I can get a word in!
We recently had a visitor, and since she was chattering so much, I decided to teach her to say 'Excuse me' when she needed to say something.


Me and Friend were chitchatting.

Big sis: ' scuse me, blah blah blah blah blah,bla............".....in,.hhmdsuysj etc
Me: didn't I tell you to excuse yourself before talking?
Big sis: but I said ' 'scuse me, b..hdhhdnjdk.jjdjdhhj....djjjjd
Me: when you say 'excuse me', you need to wit for whoever is talking to finish and then you can talk.
Big sis: but Mummy....gflgdnkhfmhfhngly,.....s..skis,l...etc
Me: you didn't say 'excuse me'
Big sis: 'scuse me', blah ,blah blah.,jsbsm..shgggxsjsn.dhehemjdggsge


I gave up.

Welcome! Back

It feels like I've been gone a minute! And it has been a few years apparently.

What have I been up to? Mmmm, a baby here, a baby there......life is good.

In spite of the fact that they drive me cuckoo, no scratch that, Chatter girl drives me cuckoo, Chatter baby is still at the stage where he is just very cute to look at and kiss; the driving-mummy-up-the-wall-while-making-her-love-you-more-by-the-minute-stage is a few years in our future for him, I'm loving motherhood. As for Chatter(sometimes) dad, well nothing much has changed I'm afraid, *clears throat*.....

I will be sharing snippets of our life here, so come back again soon.
