We picked
up the boys’ passports yesterday. Apparently we are the proud parents of
Michael and Danile. How hard is it to spell Daniel? Pshaw.

All quiet on the home front
The boys were 2 months old yesterday. They weigh 5.3 and 4 kilos respectively. Daniel only woke up once last night. Michael stayed awake all night muttering darkly about a cold his father has given him. We have received in the post two very nice tops for the boys and a blank card. Was it you? Did you send us these tops?
It snowed over the weekend. The Princess was entranced. Her father took her to the circus which was ok but not as exciting as the light wand thingy L’s father bought her.
I would like to second Negrito’s review of the Belga Queen and add that seeing these toilets for the first time when you are nine months pregnant is enough to give you heart failure.

would it be really awful of me to claim responsibility for those tops, making myself look, simultaneously, like an amazingly generous, giving woman and a fashion guru for 2-month old boys?It would?
Damn.

I come back
to the dinner table from the kitchen to find Princess sitting in solitary
splendour, Michael in a bouncy chair and Mr. Waffle and Daniel gone.
“What happened?” I ask her.
“Daniel was
sick on Daddy. On his trousers and on
his t-shirt and on the floor” she gestures expansively “and Daddy say ‘fuck!’”.

Regards, Mr. & Mrs. Waffle.
(And make some silly funny faces to the lovely princes from me, please ^^)

Put Upon
Parent 1: I’m going to clean the kitchen.
Parent 2: Yes, why don’t you have a little break?
Other things that now constitute a little break: putting out the bins, washing teeth, having a shower.

If you want a holiday, I have a lot of housework to be done…
Bobble
Waffly, you have my utmost respect and admiration x
giftofthegab

Diva
Men are barking mad! ;o)
belgianwaffle
A number of you are making sexist assumptions in relation to who said what..
poggle
But are they right?
belgianwaffle
Um, yeah, but he does the laundry..
poggle
Gotcha. Hee hee.

Break in my house also constitutes going to the grocery store.
belgianwaffle
Smart pog.
SJ, that IS a break.
Lilo
I’m the same – and I’d add having a pee to my ‘having a little break’ list.
belgianwaffle The remainder of the night went as follows: on 23 November 2005 at 15:57 Gulp. I’m sure you’re fed up with the “how do you do it?” comments but – how do you do it? on 23 November 2005 at 17:22 And she still finds the energy to blog. Now that’s true dedication. kristin (Homepage) on 24 November 2005 at 02:21 Oh dear. If i weere a 20six-er, i could give you a bunch of sweeties, but since i’m not, i’ll just hand you a cool cloth for your head. and possibly your bb’s. and i know you don’t celebrate, but it’s thanksgiving day here, tomorrow, so just be glad you won’t be called upon to do all of the above and produce a 20-lb turkey with all the fixins. kisses and sleeping pills for all. ??? on 24 November 2005 at 09:12 Wow, a sweetie bonanza. Thank you ladies and, er, ladies. Hunter came home from the neighbouring Grand Duchy last night and was greeted with ecstasy.
You get to go on your own???
Long Night
12.30 FINALLY persuade the boys to go to sleep for the night.
1.30 Well, not for the night, obviously, feed them again and pray.
2.30 Boys wake up again and are anxious to play.
3.30 Boys wake up again and are fed.
4.50 Princess wakes up and demands a bottle and that I lie beside her. As I am singing “rock a bye baby” hear roaring from our bedroom. Finish “rock a bye baby” and depart.
5.00 Feed the boys AGAIN and hope that they will now sleep.
5.30 Boys are drifting off to sleep. Realise that I cannot remember the last time I changed them. Change them and wake them up. Castigate myself for extreme idiocy.
6.00 Boys finally go to sleep.
7.00 Princess wakes for the day and promptly prods her brothers awake.
