She's had a frantic weekend showing us how big she is now that she's NINE months old...
practicing using the TV remote to change channels when we're not looking; it's a bit like having a strange TV-ghost in the house, random channel surfing when we least expect it!
She also spent some time reading the newspaper with Dad (see it's not ALL TV watching!),
and then discovered that she could pull clothes out of her bottom drawer. That was fun!
Add to that the discovery that her tongue could poke a long way out of her mouth and her weekend of fun was complete! She spent most of Sunday afternoon with her tongue hanging out of her mouth like an exuberant puppy. A very odd look. So much for the lactation consultant telling us the problems we were having with feeding were due to her being tongue tied!! Nothing tied about this tongue!
I’m a mother of two little girls aged nearly 3 (going on 12) and 5 (going on 17). I’m married to a man who grew up in a different country, and a good 7 years ahead of me. I work full-time at a job in which I edit the work of very clever people. I’m quite often confused and I very often feel as if I reside in the twilight zone.
When one of my daughters vehemently disputes something that I know to be true (such as, oh, I dunno … water is wet … yet she is adamant it is dry) - Twilight zone. When my husband talks to me about bands that he loved when I was still in nappies, dropping in the odd Scottish-ism so I start to wonder if we even speak the same language - Twilight zone. When I realize I’ve edited an entire paper and understood not one tiny bit of it - Twilight zone.
These then, are my notes from this perplexing zone.
