Sleeping beauty

My sleeping beauty has more peter alexander pajama sets than I do! They are so cute for little kids though and on sale they are not that more expensive than a Target pair. Plus they have the bum flap which is always handy on a toilet trained toddler. 

Handmade fashionista

Now that we have moved away from the bright lights big city, it's become a bit harder to stock up on clothes for G. I can't leisurely browse the racks of Kmart or Target or Cotton On Kids.  Which meant that a recent market outing I finally succumbed to buying those really really cute handmade toddler dresses that costs an arm and a leg. And it was so beautiful and handmade I promptly bought another and another. G has recently gone up to size 3 in dresses so it was easy to justify the expense - eek. They are so beautiful though! Though G's fav pair of shoes at the moment are her light up Minnie Mouse crocs - not so chic!

Toilet training

Because I have procrastinated finalizing toilet training, g still has trouble with wearing undies so I have bought this book in the hope we can rap up TT! We have undies galore stocked up (thank you Kmart and Target) and we have pull-ups for nights. Wish us luck :-) 

Drawing - who knew you had to have strategic tools?

G is now 27 months old.  And it has only taken until now to finally figure out the strategic drawing tools that you need for young children! After using markers that take a lot of scrubbing to get off (usually come with colouring books) and markers pushed in from enthusiastic drawing we have finally pinpointed our go to drawing tools:

• crayola - don't bother with other brands, these are not that expensive and the best on the market (imo)
• Crayola washable markers - marketed as the worlds most washable markers - fantastic!
• Crayola dry ease crayons and pencils - yes people, this means they can be used on white boards!! genius idea
• and chalk - lets be honest and chalk will do
• paint - most paint is fine, but seriously paint is a pain in the *, I suggest you only do painting outside on grass and just hose that kid down after

Drawing shenanigans

G was a lucky girl and got a huge colouring in haul from her Aunty. G decided to explore the environment outside if colouring books with the texta's and crayons.... Luckily it was easy to remove!!!

My little mumma

G is such a little mumma! She feeds her baby's, pats them to sleep...puts them on the potty!! So cute. 

Toddler life is chaos - return of the baby blog!

Working four days a week and looking after a toddler got the best of me, I had to take a break from the blogging world.  But I have returned!  Just in time to become a Stay at home mummy (SAHM).  Circumstances mean that I am now taking hiatus from work for at least a year to be home with G.  I am kinda excited as well as hoping that she doesn't drive me to putting her as an Ebay listing.  I have started to prepare by restocking the art supplies - highly recommend ONLY these crayons and markers, they wash off so easily.  I have been caught out by ones that come with colouring in material and once Gwen had blue smurf hands for a couple of days when it wouldn't wash off :-)
