A quick note :) I wrote this post about a 3 months ago but I never published it but after having another similar day today I think it's appropriate to bring it out of the 'drafts' folder. Fiona xToday was crazy & my patience was almost non-existent! Oliver & Jasper were both in very loud and silly moods. They would not listen to anything I was saying and on the odd occasion they did listen that kept repeating everything I said which was driving me nutty!!!
It was really hard to try and stay calm. My girls are a huge help but I can feel their patience running low and that gets me even more frustrated!
I decided I needed a bit of a break and a nice hot cup of tea so I went down to a little local cafe that has a playground...surely that will keep them happy for 15 minutes but alas that wasn't to be...Jasper just wasn't happy at all so I decided to do what every good mum would do I got my camera and took photos of his temper tantrum to show him when he gets older!!!
It took a good 20 minutes for Jasper to calm down and after offering him a hug for the hundredth time he finally took me up on my offer and sobbed himself to sleep on my shoulder..I mean seriously if he had just taken the hug when I first offered it to him he could have saved himself a lot of energy and his poor Mumma a lot of under her breath swearing and fist clenching!
