Outwit...Outlast...Outplay

The game Zac and i play each day...somehow i think he has mastered it.

Drill master...

We now have a drill sergeant at home....he's head does not even reach pass our waist but his commands and orders are quick and sharp. At times you have no choice but to succumb to his wishes. Yes am talking about my son. Ever since he managed to master a few important words, he has been making his requests known...loud and clear and what he can't find English words for he makes it up with gibberish (which we are expected to understand too cos he gets irritated when we don't!)
Each day...it has been....marmee/dadeee pick up, sit, come, up, call (for when he wants to play with the phone), take out, Zac Zac eat, Zac Zac see, outside etc etc...
Its hard to ignore certain commands as we don't want to be too permissive but its a tough call cos we are trying to encourage him to use his words to ask for what he wants instead of throwing a tantrum or crying!

A bullet train

Have been feeling like a bullet train these few weeks or months...like i'm speeding through life not stopping at stations to refuel and recharge and zooming through life not being able to appreciate my surroundings or what is happening around me. Have been so caught up with mothering and coping with everyday chores and things that i think i've neglected many other parts of life.
Think i need to put on the brakes soon...before i forget where i'm heading to! And to friends whom i've neglected to catch up with...i'm sorry! THAT will have to change...
