Screw the system!

I'm such a rebel! Feeding Bibbo "Guten Morgen" Müsli for dinner! Screw the system!

A practical dinner

You know you're a parent when you could prepare a whole meal just by using the food off your kitchen floor.

A child parenting a parent

-Let's play you be Moki and I be mama!
-How do we play that?
-I say No and then you cry and then I say Yes.
My three year old just explained how I'm failing at parenting. It's too late for her, but I won't ruin Bibbo. He will get nothing from me, no matter how much he cries. Fun times are over.

Just a regular day in a kindergarten

-Moki, what did you do in the kindergarten today?
-I play and I fall and I break my head and I go home and drive and walk Klara and go back, sleep on the tree, on the nest and fall on my head and eat pasta and sleep on the lamp and go back!
(When I was a kid, we weren't allowed to drive or sleep in the nests or on the lamps. Kids these days have amazing lives!)

Mama's night time routine

Attempting to take your contact lenses out after having taken your contact lenses out is really painful. My eyeballs hurt. If you don't want sore eyeballs, don't continuously pinch them.

First time in a library

-You have to be quiet in the library, Moki!
-I can't! My mouth can only talk really loud!

Parenting low or a great life hack?

New parenting low: I made Moki wipe her nose with Bibbo's bib. And I lied to her about it not being dirty.

Foodie baby

Bibbo's favourite food at 10 months: hummus, bread, tomatoes, potatoes, cheese, eggs, fish, yoghurt, bananas and every other fruit or vegetable he tried except clementines. His least favourite food: clementines. But he'll reach for them and stuff his mouth every time I eat them nevertheless.

Spa day

Spa day: coming home early from work to take a long shower and remove nail polish from two weeks ago.

Everything's OK if you brush your teeth

-What did you do in the kindergarten today? 
-I put sand in my mouth. 
-What? 
-I eat sand. 
-You ate sand?! 
-Just a little bit. And I brushed my teeth later.
She brushed her teeth. I guess sand eating is OK then.

Let's take these clothes off!

When I picked her up from the kindergarten, Moki was wearing ridiculous clothes and NONE of the clothes were hers. It turned out she got wet and changed completely into random clothes she found lying around. We went for a piece of cake, and while I was feeding Bibbo, she ran to the middle of the café and, to my horror, started taking the trousers off. Luckily and surprisingly, it turned out she had another pair of trousers underneath. Also not hers.

Our baby's teething!

Bibbo's teething and he's salivating A LOT. I literally changed him four times today but he managed to soak through three layers each time. I'm contemplating either attaching a plastic cup to his chin to contain the saliva or having him live in a bathtub for a few days. Both options are difficult for different reasons so it's really a shame that there's no other solution. Bathtub + plastic cup it is!

Avoiding nappy rash

Confession time: when Bibbo took a massive poo at 5 a.m., I couldn't care less about his potentially sore bum. The only reason I changed him was because he smelled so bad that I couldn't be in the same room as him.

What to do with my kids' art?

An amazing life hack: always have a plastic bag ready in the Kindergarten - that way you can immediately stuff all the kids' "art" in it and have it never even reach your car, let alone your apartment!
