Shit it can climb up the sofa,
It’s learnt how to escape from the reins.
It’s worked out how use door handles,
And use lego to inflict immense pains.
Shit it can stand-up in its highchair,
And turn on the hot tap in the bath.
It can break into any cupboard,
And when told off it responds with a laugh.
Shit it can unlock an iPhone,
And send e-mails and delete all my apps.
It knows how to switch on the telly.
And give surprisingly painful slaps.
Shit it can break out of its sleeping bag,
And remove all its clothing in seconds.
It knows how to get through the stair-gate,
Where the cat bowl and knife drawer beckons.
Shit it knows where the snacks are kept,
And how to escape from its nappy.
It knows how to switch on ALL the musical toys,
Because that’s what makes it happy.
Shit it knows how to break mummy’s spirit,
With the running, and climbing, and screaming.
Remember when all they did with shit, smile and gurgle,
So do I, that’s how I know I’m dreaming…

And a kindred spirit – a month or 2 difference between our daughters, but I read your blog posts and smile, laugh and occasionally wince and cry, but all done with my head nodding in agreement.
Been there, done that, got a 4 inch scar on me face from her infeasibly sharp talons, wearing porridge on my shoulder like a rank slide….

ReplyShit it knows how to read now,
Wants to know what a smear test is,
And why the cat poos in straight lines,
Life is an unending quiz.
Shit, it is finishing Juniors,
Asking more questions about hormones and 'bits'
Appalled by where he 'actually'came from,
Doesn't he know when to quit?
(Just thought I'd add you a couple of verses so you know that it gets so much better…….)
ReplyHaha 😉 trying to remember why I thought it was a good idea to procreate right now… Lol x
