What could spoil the sound of happy squeals from Nora as I push her faster and faster on a swing early this morning?

A naughty boy.

As shops open at 11am on Sundays, I decided that we’d leave early anyway and stop at the playground. Nora hasn’t really been out all week and what more to treat her by pushing her on the swing. She really does love being on a swing!

There she was happy and laughing when an older boy decided that he wanted to play on the baby swing too. He rushed over and stood in front of a swing occupied by another girl who was  being pushed by her dad. He was there so suddenly that the dad didn’t have time to stop the swing from hitting the boy. The boy fell and cried and screamed.

His mom rushed over with his little brother and he still insisted that he wanted to play on the baby swing. The mom put him in and told him that she’s going to put his baby brother in the pushchair and then they were going to go home.

Since he couldn’t swing himself properly, he got bored and tried to climb out of the swing. I was horrified. The mom was at the other side of the playground and I told the boy to wait… not that he listened. So, as I didn’t want another accident to happen, I helped him out… and he ran towards a boy with a little bicycle and tried to grab the bicycle away!

When I was pregnant… part of me wanted a boy… WHAT WAS I THINKING??!!

We went to the playground yesterday. I think now that I’m working fulltime, I feel that I need to make more time for Nora over the weekend. So, even though it was hot and it was quite a walk to the park, it something I’m willing to ignore so that Nora could have some playtime with her friends.

But we didn’t spend too much time on the swing in the end as it was too hot. Instead we sat in the shaded area of the park and the mothers had a chat while the babies play. And us mothers were also so protective of our babies as we told off a bunch of boys to play somewhere else after their football fell in the middle of our circle. Luckily the ball did not fall on any of the babies or we would have gone on a rampage! We have been warning the boys over and over again, but that was the last straw.

It must have been the heat. We were ready to fight anyone!

The sun is out!! And Nora’s been grumpy the whole night and morning. We were going to Ivy’s for a little baby playtime in the afternoon, but she’s been such a grump that I decided to take her out early instead. So we head to the farm.

It was a lovely walk and for the first time I had her pram face forward rather than facing me. I think she likes it. She could see the world better.

It is a lovely little farm. Nora saw loads of flowers, horses, birds, bunnies, cows, sheep, goat, a big fat pig in mud, turkeys and chickens. But she was still grumpy.

I think she’s punishing me for leaving her for the whole of last week. I can’t seem to do anything right for her at the moment.

Oh well…

I’m back at work today.

Not the best day of my life.

We were sitting on the sofa, and Jules was holding Nora.

Suddenly, there was a loud bum trumpet.

Jules looked at Nora shocked… and I was like ‘Yeah, blame it on the baby’. But Jules kept denying and the look on his face made me believe him.

No, it wasn’t very ladylike and Jules told her so. But what does he expect if her breaks wind in front of her all the time? She’s going to think it’s the norm.

AND I was cleaning her nose and pulled out a huge bogey. I asked Jules to bring the bin over the bin, he said not to bring the bogey near him and jokingly said ‘just put it in her mouth’.

??!!

We should really be better example to her. *sigh*
