happy half birthday

Little Miss T turned one and a half today and I am wondering if this is the point in which we will start referring to Miss T in years rather than months? I mean you don't hear many parents say their kids are 15 and 4 months or 184 months do you... That would be weird right...And now she is one and a half something tells me her second birthday (and third and eighth) is going to creep up on us super fast. Stop growing little T!!! So in order to not jump ahead to fast and to consciously cement in history what Miss T was doing at one and a half i thought I'd write a little list of mummy's favourites.

1. Anything exciting or new is observed with a  a dramatic 'Wow', so more like ' woooow' and any spills or damage or anything not quite right with an ' oh noooooo' accompanied by a concerned hand to her mouth. Classic

2. Miss T has taken on the task of putting Popo's bed outside each morning. It is her first task in the morning, even preceding her milk. She collects it from the kitchen floor and drags it out the back door. Thanks bubba.

3.  Popo is fed more treats than ever before as Miss T loves heading to the laundry to treat him all day long proclaiming 'more Popo more' Followed by ''sit Popo sit' (which sounds a lot like shit popo shit :)) before rewarding him with his treat.

4. Miss T's babies are forever needing to 'poo poo' and if I am not quick enough this results in her poor little bubba's heading down the toilet. Now when I here ' bubba poo poo' I must react instantly and race to the bathroom.

5. Miss T is obsessed with showers, the park and drawing and at any time of the day can wonder up and ask,
' ower yes?' ( shower yes)
' paak ye?' (park yeah) or
' wower?' (can I draw flowers).

6. Miss T clearly understands the concept of sleep (despite choosing not to for almost a month recently). How I know this...

a) She likes to ' play sleep' in our bed. ' night night mumma' she repeats and run into our bed and insists I lie with her. Once she has approved my position she proclaims ' shhh shh night night' and squints her eyes shut. This brings Miss T great delight and mumma too after a long day (except when we have guests over as this is a little awkward).

b) Her babies are placed in her cot and told ' shh bubba shh' all day long. Yes her bubba's poo poo and sleep a lot!. She even pats their little chests and leaves the room and stands outside her door saying ' shh bubba night night shh bubba'. seriously! Someone's been paying attention...

Happy half birthday Miss T, mumma and dada loves you x
