Things he does that amazes me.

1.     How he can manage to still chew (move his bottom jaw up and down) after he has shoved SO MUCH food in his mouth.
I mean, can babies dislocate their jaw or something?  Is there a secret here that we slowly loose as adults simply because we learn to put less in each time we eat?

2.     How he can continue to head butt me and still laugh when it’s actually starting to hurt me.
I thought baby’s skulls were still fusing to become one piece of skull, wouldn't they be more sensitive?  He has RED SPOTS on his forehead from where he has hit my head but still Giggles like a loony person.  Then when I stop letting him head butt me he cries!!  Like he wants to hurt himself and me just a few more times.

3.     How he can sleep with his head looking like its falling off behind him, his arm underneath himself (if I did this my arm would be dead on awakening), his leg in the air and with said bent head in the corner of the cot tight up against both sides.  Yet he still wakes up happy, AND he can move his arm that he has just cut all of the circulation off to for the last few hours.

4.     How he can hold a full-on, rather long, in depth conversation with facial expressions and arm gestures......yet I have no idea what he is saying.
Does he honestly think that “mung nun blun nom wee ning ton dlung ga lug ga lug galugaluglagug” over and over with a few other additions are words? Am I speaking like that?  Should I pronounce my words clearer? Another Vodka shot for mumma, then maybe she will understand?  Probably not but it will help......surely J

5.     How his emotions can change in an instant!!
Baby Boy =Run run run run hahahahaha I’m chasing you..fall over...OMG It’s the end of the world and I need a cuddle and I am going to cry REALLY LOUD....hahaha look the dog just walked in the room, PUT ME DOWN I am going to pat the dog...Fake cry time, I am hungry, I will fake moan on the way to the kitchen cupboard while slouching my shoulders (yes my 19 month old has the shoulder slouch down when it comes to getting what he wants), cue fake tears (not sure how he does this), rub eyes, pointing at bikkys...YAY YOU GOT ME A BIKKY!!!  I LOVE YOU AND I AM THE HAPPIEST BABY IN THE WORLD!!
Sound normal?  It’s crazy!  Sometimes it does my head in but mostly it makes me laugh.  The child health nurse said I shouldn’t laugh when he’s being naughty and screaming.  So I have now learnt to walk away while laughing so he dosn’t see me.  And then I turn back to him when I have composed myself.

6.     How no matter how many times I ask/tell him not to do something, the more he does it.  And he would rather do something I say not to rather than something he loves.  I’ve basically given up on growing tomatoes.  He LOVES to wait until they are green and about to turn red (giving me a false sense of security that it will make it) and then pulls them off while I’m not looking.  He also likes to grab handfuls of dirt from all of my potplants and put it everywhere...EVERYWHERE!!  The list would go on but I have to stop......

7.     As Above ^^ The Word NO.  If I ever use this word I always explain myself so I am not a NO mum.  And so that my boy understands why I keep saying NO to him.  I just don’t get it......he knows what NO means......he knows what he's doing gets me upset......BUT he insists on actually doing what I said NO about only a few minutes ago, over and over and over again.  Wipes......They don’t live in the container EVER, they should live schrewn all over the floor, it’s like he knows tissues are cheaper now and the wipes get me going more so he beelines straight for them.
