Welcome to my world!

I've only just joined the Blogosphere, but already it is strangely addictive. I enjoy writing as a general rule, but LOVE writing about things I care about, so why not write about my little family? I care about them more than anything and they give me plenty to write about - both good and bad!

My little girl, Lydia (3) provides me with enough writing material for a novel every single day! She is full of Liddyisms, which still make me laugh when I read them back (yes, I have kept a record of some of them, but am hoping this Blog will help me keep a record of even more).

She is our princess, but she is also an absolute handful. I'm not one of those mummies who tell the world that their child can do no wrong and is a "superstar" or "so good all the time", when in reality the child is a mean-spirited, aggressive little BLEEP. I believe in saying it how it is, when it comes to my children. I love them both more than anything in the world, but at times they can push every single button I have.

Lydia knows only too well at the moment, how to push those buttons. She is far too bright for our own good and I have realised in the last 24 hours that she is starting to control things in the Myson household. Not something I ever intended to happen, but somehow it has. Perhaps it was the arrival of Isaac 6 months ago that caused me to take my eye off the ball, but this mummy is taking back control. I'm sure I'll be posting plenty about that over the coming months.

Isaac is my blue-eyed boy! He's a proper mummy's boy at the moment and melts my heart everyday. He's cut two teeth in the last 24 hours and you'd never have known - he's so laid back, just like his daddy fortunately. Another highly strung child, who takes after their mummy would be carnage for this house.

He's the complete opposite to his sister in every way, but boy does he love her. She is the apple of his eye and it's the most amazing thing to see. Lydia even has a special bum wiggle she saves for Isaac, that is guaranteed to make him belly laugh!

He's started on solids recently and is eating everything in sight, we had some issues when he was exclusively breastfed as he just wasn't gaining weight, he was even under paediatric care because of it, but now he is on the 75th centile and was discharged on Wednesday!

I wonder often how he will turn out. Will he be the "class clown" like Lydia (she really is HILARIOUS) or will he be serious? Will he have curly hair like his sister or will his be polker straight? Will he be tall like her? Will he not sleep like her? (so far he sleeps well, is much better at self-settling than Lydia - she didn't self-settle until she was gone 2 and still doesn't really - and is a much deeper sleeper, just like daddy!)

I'm sure I will be sharing lots more about my "babies" as part of this blog, I might even manage some non-baby related posts at some point :)

Then there is my hubby: James. He really is the love of my life, but boy does he wind me up a treat too. He's a fabulous daddy and Lydia idolises him and no doubt Isaac will too, once he gets into "play". No doubt I'll be sharing more about him as time moves on too.
