Miracles Do Happen

I have just put one of my little angels to sleep-Bailey- and it was the easiest thing I think I have done in the past 4 1/2 years since I've had the boys. I  read and read and read to Bailey on the lounge in his room and he started getting quieter and quieter. When I kissed him goodnight, put him in his bed, turned his light off and then turned around to plug his heater in, he was snoring. It probably wasn't even 5 seconds. Sleep well little man.

I made thousands of phone calls this morning before the 2 boys and I dropped into the Police station to dispute my fine from Monday. They seemed to be good and in fact stated it was probably a trophy fine. Great. I'm just making someones quota in fines for the day. From here the 2 boys and I drove to the hairdressers for the boys. We didn't have an appointment but I thought we'd see if they could fit the kids in. Luckily for us they did. The boy's were great once I finally convinced them to get up into the seats. Looking even more handsome, the boys and I bought some lunch at the bakery next door. We headed home, sat outside and ate lunch then played and played. I managed to do another 5 loads of washing which means we have another 5 loads of washing to fold. Today I had a memorable little conversation with Brandon that went: "Stop Brandon"-as he continued to hit Bailey on the head with a pair of his Ben 10 socks. "That's 3 times Brandon I've told you to stop. No mummy, it's 4 times actually."

Today I realised that Bailey has toilet trained himself pretty much. Unlike Brandon that seemed to take a long time, Bailey has just nailed it in half a day. It's amazing. Last week when we stayed home for several days was when he mastered it. Well done sweetheart.  Luckily I remembered that my Avon lady was calling around very soon so we all jumped back into the car and went to the bank to get some money out. We also checked the PO Box before heading home. Avon called, we paid and then went back out to playing. My husband finally came home and I ducked out again to the Police station. I have to give them a letter explaining why I dispute the fine. The headquarters were closed so I moved on. Another thing to do tomorrow. I headed into the supermarket, stocked up on some essential food to get us through the week before driving to the petrol station, filling up my car and then picking up a pizza from the pizza shop for the boys.

Finally I made it home, boys were fed, bathed, watered, probably grew another 1metre, and then headed off to bed. Sweet dreams boys. See you both in the morning.
