Can a baby be evil?…… 2008-02-19 05:34:42 …..well can it?
I want to know because if they can then I think our baby Usurper is evil. I don’t mean evil in a ’stab you in your sleep’ kind of way. More a ‘get into every nook and cranny of the house looking for some mischief that I can partake in’, kind of [...]
Daddy / Daughter day tomorrow 2008-02-17 05:49:30 Tomorrow is going to be a daddy / daughter day for myself and the toddler. For once I am not even slightly concerned with the responsibility that has been thrust upon me. I now have enough of a reserve of knowledge and experience that I am actually looking forward to it. Gone are the days [...] Read more:Daddy

Our toddler has a friend! 2008-02-15 08:45:34 Little Miss, the toddler
who rules the house, has made her first friend
!!
I don’t mean that she has been a overcoat wearing loner until now, I’m sure that is coming in her teens though, it’s just that this friend is one she has made all by herself. She is not one of the groups of [...]
The plague returns 2008-02-13 06:57:35 For the first time in a while the plague
or some other similarly destructive illness has entered into the household. Of course the first one to be affected was the toddler Little Miss - and she was the most likely one to bring it into the house.
Not to be out done Usurper (the baby that [...]
Hide Everything - Baby on the loose 2008-03-13 23:47:42 It is wrong to staple gun a baby to the floor - at least I am pretty sure it is frowned upon. Even if it isn’t really the baby you are stapling to the floor but the baby’s jumpsuit. I just think it is one of those thing that would cause the neighbours tongues to [...] Read more:Everything
They learn young how to torment. 2008-03-19 06:14:14 As an elder sibling one thing that really gave me the sh*ts when I was growing up was how my little brother would carry on as if he was being shot if I so much as looked at him sideways. He’d be sitting there in the lounge room begging me for mercy or to stop [...] Read more:learn

Chocolate for Jebus - and Princess Shazza cake for Wife 2008-03-23 05:50:36 What a big couple of days it is in the lifetime of toddlers this Easter thing is. It’s almost as big as Christmas, only with chocolate not plastic toys.
It started Friday morning with a small gathering of the toddler mafia that Little Miss is a part of - that group of toddlers and their mum’s [...] Read more:Chocolate

Things you miss while at work 2008-03-27 05:07:30 Being away at work for long periods of the day means that I tend to miss out on some of the major developmental and other milestones that our two darling daughters go through. For example Usurper has started to say things like mum mum mum, pull herself up to a stand and is doing “Hi-5’s” [...]
Helter Skelter Toddler 2008-03-31 05:12:23 I think Little Miss is trying to kill me again. Not like in that recurring dream I have in which I wake up just as she is about to bludgeon me to death with dolly, but in a less deliberate (I hope) way.
This weekend we went to a fair on Saturday and far from the [...]
Games Toddlers Play 2008-04-05 08:17:36 I have been watching Little Miss play of late and I have surmised that there is only a couple of types of games that she plays.
Firstly there are those things that you really couldn’t call games - things like parks and swings, running around like a mad thing, generally expending the type of frantic nervous [...] Read more:Games

From baby to almost human 2008-04-09 00:06:09 I have said it before and I will say it again, baby’s up until a certain age are a complete mystery. I love my own to death, but as a general rule of thumb they hold no real appeal. I think it is because they are about as interactive as watching grass grow as they [...] Read more:human
Help - the kids are on to me! 2008-04-14 07:24:08 Please somebody save me - I think the toddler Little Miss has got me sussed out (worked out for us older generation) and it can’t be long before she passes on these vital insights to the baby.
My authority has spent most of the weekend being undermined by everyone around me.
I was expecting it to happen [...]
Questionable parentage? 2008-04-18 01:16:25 I am not sure if it is the result of questionable parentage or just questionable parenting but I am quietly convinced that our two children are not actually sisters.
They are almost diametrically opposed when it comes to their personalities. The eldest is shy and reserved, cerebral in her approach to everything, and prone to emotional [...]
Off on a holiday with kiddies in tow 2008-04-22 17:15:57 It’s time to load up the family truckster and head on a little vacation. We are off to the my parents place for a few days for the first time since the expansion of the family unit from 3 to 4.
With the anticipation of the toddler Little Miss and the complete unawareness of baby Usurper [...]
Highlights of the trip 2008-04-30 08:10:16 Discovering that the plane ride itself is dull from a toddler’s perspective - but that the airport travellator rocks like there is no tomorrow!
A safari at the open range zoo is pretty cool. Not because of the exotic animals or seeing them up close, these are too be ignored, but because you get to [...] Read more:Highlights
Water - why do you torment the children? 2008-05-04 02:17:01 Our Little Miss has developed the strangest phobia I have yet come across. Currently she is living in terror that the toilet in going to run out of water.
Each time she is going to the toilet she needs to be reassured that it does indeed have water in it, hasn’t run dry and nor will [...] Read more:torment
We have a tantrummer…… 2008-05-09 08:36:04 I have just discovered something funnier than toddler tantrums - 10month old baby tantrums! They are just the most adorable things.
In the last couple of days our baby Usurper has started to have the odd full blown tantrum. I don’t mean like the don’t leave me in this cot to sleep tantrum, but a real [...]
Bad Daddy - again 2008-05-13 08:26:46 I have a simple question based on observing some young(ish) couples on the weekend - and also to be honest Wifes’ WWM08 awards on her website, and it is this:
Why when something happens on Wifes’ watch do I get to spend the next few hours of my life convincing her that ‘every child crawls up [...] Read more:Daddy
Bad Parenting 101 2008-05-17 19:45:52 I am sure that after today Wife and I will be held up to future generations as an example of bad parents. Not for anything hideous mind you, no actual physical or emotional abuse of our Little Miss or Usurper (well no more than is standard in a modern Western family anyway). It is more [...] Read more:Parenting
We’re off to the Big Room! 2008-05-21 07:59:02 It is official, we are off to the Big Room (not to be confused with the big house) at daycare. Little Miss has finally graduated from the little kids room to the big kids room because there is a vacancy.
It was a close run thing as the daycare people were reticent to allow her [...]
Kids giveth and kids taketh away 2008-05-24 10:36:10 Wife has been sick for the last little while and the baby Usurper has also been a bit crook (and has also been getting the odd new tooth), so to try and give them a bit of a break I spent a fair chunk of today out and about at a market and then some [...]
You can’t handle the truth! 2008-05-29 05:12:50 One of the things I find most endearing about Little Miss is the complete honesty in what she says. Obviously she does lie, or more accurately she doesn’t answer a question, if you ask her why Usurper is crying she will say something like “welllll………… my shoe was a bit wobbly….” a complete non sequitor [...]
Walk Dammit! 2008-06-05 01:21:38 When will Usurper actually take that first stuttering step towards the ultimate in freedom - bipedal movement? She is close, very very close. She will at times stand up and let go of whatever she is holding onto, standing there grinning and giggling like a maniac until she falls to her ass - at which [...]
She really is my child! 2008-06-10 00:34:22 Finally I am seeing signs that Little Miss actually is my child
. After years of secretly questioning Wife’s fidelity I am now convinced she is mine. Sure she still has Wife’s looks (thank god), brains (even better), not to mention her temperament, but finally she is showing some signs from her less dominate genealogy.
I came [...]
Usurper misses out again! 2008-06-14 21:46:03 Usurper is suffering from second child syndrome and is missing out on all those things that were such a big deal for Little Miss.
The latest is that she turns 1 on Wednesday (well done to her for surviving), but unlike for Little Miss there is to be no elaborate gathering.
This is not entirely our [...]
Tagged - I’m it!! 2008-06-19 09:42:08 A little while back Daddee Yah! tagged me with the following post: “So How Would You Change Your Lifestyle, People?” | Daddee Yah! and I thought now was as good a time as any to respond to the post - so here goes.
1. Get a lifestyle - I think that would be the [...] Read more:Tagged
We did it! 2008-06-18 10:05:01 With apologies to one independent, feisty little Hispanic chick I think we have all earned the right to dance around singing “We did it!, We did it, We did it!!! - Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!”
That’s right, the baby - Usurper - has made it to her first birthday, and to top it off she is fast changing [...]
Indignant scream 2008-06-27 07:54:24 I picked up Usurper this morning as she enjoyed her 5:30am whinge and I was again struck by just how much, when push comes to shove, I am a poor second best when compared to Wife.
You see I have taken to sleeping in another room of the house (don’t worry it is not the [...]
