Oh god! the stripping naked thing is hilarious!

Earlier today Alex was watching tv quite happily so i thought it would be okay to just let him sit there while i turned to go put some washing on the line (my next door neighbours kid was there with him, shes 12).

Well I heard a scream, came back in to find he had pulled himself up onto his feet using the coffee table and had fallen back and cracked his head off the harth on the fire, he was screaming and i was hysterical...and sophie (the kid) was just lyign on the sofa watching the telly. I could have killed her for not watching him....but then again, its my fault for leaving him.

lmao, funny stories

I feel like such a BAD mum recently. Today, I went to shut the window (sash windows) and shut Bethanie's fingers in there a little bit! Luckily, I wasn't shutting them full force, because as I was closing them I got a feeling that something wasn't right and stopped.. would have been terrible if I closed them with full force!

Last week, Bethanie was running to the bathroom. On the way, she shouted up to the loft (conversion) as her "gandad" (lol) sometimes works from home. So she shouts "gandad, gandad" and starts climbing the stairs quickly, so quick that I can't get to her fast enough. He walks downstairs and goes to grab her, shes up to the 5th step and suddenly loses her footing.. falling backwards down the stairs. I reached for her and broke her fall (I supported her head too luckily), but she still fell on her back and looked shocked. Anyway, we said "uh oh" and she was fine.. but still! BAD BAD mummy!

This morning, Sonny put the side of Bethanie's cot down, forgot to put it back up! and got back into bed for 5 more minutes. I was just waking and noticed she sounded a bit uncomfortable. We sat up and saw that she was bent over the cot rail, trying to get out! Im so glad that I heard her and noticed something was up, because a few seconds later she could have flipped out and been badly injured.
Oh and yesterday, lol she had a tantrum and rolled off the bed.

Typing all this makes me feel terrible - lots of silly accidents recently!!

Mine for this week
Went to Bridlington on Wednesday absolutely glorious weather, lathered them both in suncream as we got out of the car

We are sat on the beach as happy as you like with Em running back and forth to the sea, kept reapplying suncream

except I missed Emilys neck as i was literlly trying to catch her to do it

Hence 1 9yr old with a very red front side and back of neck

I do actually feel really bad as with her being a ginger i really do know to be more careful

I put Seth on his changing station yesterday and nipped across the room to get some shorts out the cupboard. Of course, this is the first time he decides to roll over onto his side. He did it so quickly though I was convinced he was going to go all the way over onto his front! I dived across the room knocking over about 30 things on the way and caught him. The worst thing is that one of the drawers doesn't quite shut properly on the station, so had he rolled off he would have smacked his head off one of the drawers on the way down.

I felt so awful afterwards (even though nothing had happened!) but I had NO idea he would decide to roll over. I didn't think he could even do that. Im never leaving him up there again lol

The shame - Im posting in here and he's only 8 weeks old lol

We just got back from camping in this scorching heat. When I was packing to go I missed the high factor suncream and then forgot to but some from the supermarket as well. Luckily I always keep some in the camps firstaid kit. Then when we got back to site after shopping I noticed he'd kicked his little deck shoes off, so they were lost and later the same day we couldn't find his sun hat! I spent the whole weekend chasing the kids around the campsite trying to slather them in suncream AND THEN I GOT BURNT!!!
