Am I an apathetic Mommy?

I am not taken to too much gushing of Sophie's triumphant milestones these days.
I stare in quiet amazement when she can stand on her own two feet unaided.
"About time la!" I muttered.
I watch idily as she pulls her hair, hits her head, claps her hand, wrinkles her nose, raise her arms, lift her head skywards, kisses, shakes hands, gives flying kisses, waves goodbye, at our command - her knowledge of these just before her first birthday.
I know I know.. I am taking her development for granted...

So bad the me... It's a sign that I am running low on mommy fuel...

Need recharge quick.

I wanna go shopping for

NOT Sophie's things anymore.
Everytime I go shopping theseadays, I end up lugging bagfuls of Sophie's stuff.
Diapers, new clothes, toys, that o-so-cute dress etc.
I am tired.
I need more Mommy-me time and expenditure.
More nice stuff for Mommy pppleeeease...
Thankie yoooou!

Wheeeee!

Of screams & shouts & cockroach dance

Yes... coming from Sophie.. all of it... when she doesn't get her way, when you take something away from her.... when she doesn't feel like porridge... when no one entertains her... when we don't clean her poo fast enough... when her bath water is too cold... when she doesn't want to towel dry her hair... when she is bored... when a piece of biscuit is not enough.... welcome to Tantrum Terror!

Icky Poo Poo to start off

Sophie has the runs... not in a bad way but i suspect just too much veggies in her system.. specifically cauliflower and brocolli. Didn't want to give her anymore beta-carotene inducing veggies & rooties as they were making her look alarming shade of yellow... now tat she is off those jaundiced causing veggies, she is a healthier shade of pink, but the trade off is icky poo poo. sigh.. what is a muther to do.....??
