So today is the last day of my 20's, i'm the big 30 tomorrow. We had a party on friday night and you were there and you just had a ball!!! you danced all night and when I got up to say a few thank yous, you were right there with me, pulling the microphone from my hand roaring and shouting! You are so entertaining and funny! You're such a well behaved child and ... I know I have to say to say that because i'm your mammy, but honestly you really are. Everyone comments on your manners, your stunning beauty and just how well behaved you are. You make it so easy to love you.
So, what you've been up to lately. Well the other day, I had the lamp switched off at the wall and you were trying to switch it back on by the cord and it woudln't turn on for you and you, (as if it were second nature to you) quite simply told me it was "fucked". I knew immediately where you learned that word, so I got on the phone to your grandad straight away! and your grandad LAUGHED!!!
Your daddy and I just got new phones too, I got an iphone and your daddy the samsung galaxy. I wonder how much more phones will be able to do by the time you're old enough to have one. But you just love them, you love the barbie game, the talking back teddy and angry birds and diamond dash. You always ask me for my finger to make the diamonds explode.
I got a new job a month ago now, working in Eircom. 5 days a week from 3 to 7, they're great hours for me because i get to spend all day with you before you head off to nana and grandads, then your daddy arrives at nana's about half 6, me just after 7 and we all go home to Clodagh's house for dinner, some messing (that's mostly you and daddy) family time and cuddles.
I have to take a break from this blog, your daddy is upstairs giving you a bath and i want to wash your hair.
Now i'm back, it's been about 5 hours since i started this. You had a 2 hour sleep and then wanted to go back to bed. You are without a shadow of a doubt THE laziest baby that has ever lived! YOu're also turning into a fuss pot! you used to eat everything for me, (well a lot of this is my fault, i've stopped giving you as much vegetables as you should have) and as a result you now turn your nose up to cabbage, carrots, turnip, all the things you used to love. You've just asked me for a yogi (yoghurt) in place of your lovely roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and as much as it hurts me to think you might be hungry, for you own good, i just don't want you to end up like me when it comes to food. It's terrible when I go out, there are so many things i don't like. Well in sayting that, i'm 100 times better than i used to be. But there were a couple of years there were all I would eat was chips and spaghetti hoops! I remember one holiday with the girls and i bought actual baby food, from a tin cause i ate nothing that the girls did. So over time, i've had to keep trying things and eventually come round. In fairness i still wouldn't eat cabbage but I just want you to. I know... hypocrite! but look if i didn't love you i wouldn't care! hee hee.
so some things that have happened over the last month or so....
You told nana she was like a princess the other night when she put a sparkly necklace on.
You wouldn't eat your dinner for nana and grandad and they threatened to turn tinkerbell off the tele if you didn't so you kicked up a fuss and when asked did you wanna go on the bold step you said... "YES"!!
You were playing a game on my phone and you've subscibed me to something for 2.50e a day!! thanks pal!
There's a slide in ballymun pool and you go up and down the hole time its there and the only thing to get you off is them physically closing it! we're not even at the end and you're screaming AGAIN AGAIN!!!
I'm going to be packing all week for our first overseas family trip, we're landing in Orlando for one night, then off on The Royal Carribean Cruise ship for a week, I can't wait for you to go to the disco,, you're crazy for parties, music and especially dancing, you're recently taken to the microphone too! then we're heading back to Orlando for 2 nights before we head to a resort called Clearwater, it's on the South Coast of Florida.
They've just added a thing on this blog site too where i can upload pictures, so for previous Clodagh footage you'll find stuff on facebook and i'm sure i'll have a hard copy stash somewhere too. but this is great, i can give you the pics to match what i'm talking about!
Oh, and thanks for today,... emptying the fish food all over the balcony and mashing it into yourself and the house with sudocream, you are a true artist!
Love you darling, until next time...
