I have the cure for the “get up on wobbly thing…” issue:
Put little peanut on manly knee with that interesting plugged-in thing within easy reach. Proceed to demonstrate all functions, turn all the dials, push all the buttons etc. at will (his will, his fingers) a LONG time. Repeat daily. Very soon he will be so over it. Really. Try this at home.

“Use Mama’s head as leverage.” to be posted above family bed for 10 month old who struggles valiantly to avoid sleeping.

“Drop mouth-wiping cloth here. Repeat as necessary.” to be posted under high-chair.

“Rub eyes and nose using tiny sticky food-covered fists.” to be posted on high-chair.

“Attempt tirelessly to aquire remote controls used by parental units. Ignore remote control designated as ‘yours’.” to be posted in the living room. This sign could also be rewritten to apply to cell phones.

“Pee here upon removal of diaper.” Posted anywhere, but especially at changing table.

“Poop here.” to be posted next to bathtub. Warm water is so relaxing, isn’t it?

This is fun. I could go on and on.

MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE WHICH ADORABLE PICTURE TO POST ONLINE.

The one I clearly need to make for myself would read, “Questionable Authority.”

I find myself regretting the cute little t-shirt that our eldest wore as a babe that said, “Question Authority”. THAT, he took to heart.

Annz was brilliant and one I might adopt myself.

As well as a sign on the refrigerator that says “IGNORE ALL CONTENTS EXCEPT APPLE JUICE AND CHEESE.”

And a sign in the bathroom that says “LEAVE SEAT UP. AND WATER ON THE SINK. AND TOWELS ON THE FLOOR. AND TOILET PAPER ON THE COUNTER AS OPPOSED TO ON THE ACTUAL ROLL.”

WEAR FOOD! and sadly….NEVER SLEEP oh and SHOUT WHEN TALKING WOULD DO

We don’t have any signs but collect ‘onces’. Pretty self-explanatory really. Obviously different to ‘firsts’ which have been followed by ‘seconds’…..Some onces go on to become firsts in time. For example, ‘once, everyone slept through” will, I’m sure, become a first. Whereas, some onces are just too awful to bear repeating: ‘once everyone woke up in a different bed they went to sleep in’ (vomit was involved).

A lot of onces are completely outwith parental influence (given examples) but not this one: ‘once I went away for the night to a family party’. Wifey has decided that it must not become a first for a while. We’ve not been collecting very long: 1 is 7 today; onces involving all six of us have been on the go for 13 months.

REQUIRE INVENTORY OF TWO OF EVERY ITEM.

I must say to you–if you’re kids will be anything like ours, you are in the thick of it right now. (As if you didn’t know that.) I commented a while ago about the flip of a switch. Well, our 3 nearly 4 year old, has switched yet again, and it is pure BLISS! Wow. Now we older 3 in the family are working on the 20 monther, who insists on repeatedly wagging his finger accompanied with “NO!” to the big brother. This morning, during a breakfast banana aria, big brother said, “But MaMa, Cooper’s saying no to my beautiful banana singing!” Let’s hope the little one doesn’t crush his ego to badly with the no’s.
