What a beautiful brood. Geez, you sure have your hands full!

 

[ksech]

I can't get it to load

I bet it's really, really cute though! I'd kick my computer, but I'd probably break it or my foot. You have such beautiful children, will try it again another time. Maybe my computer is just PMSing today

 

[jod5413]

It won't load for me either! I want to see it!!!!! MOMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!! Fix it!!

 

[bb28]

No load for me either.

 

[Brooklyn]

Sorry

Let me take a look and try to fix it...it's def worth watching.

Thankyou! I'm wondering if it's one of those things where you need an iphone to watch it from. Am going to try and see if it works on my sons' Droid when he gets here in the morning.

It takes ages, then gives an error message "we seem to be having problems" after "preparing" the stream for a while.

It is not a particularly helpful message, and may indicate that a certain browser plug-in is required to view it, perhaps one specific to that sharing site, so unless you are also a member, you cannot play the video. Other streaming works fine on my PC, so it can't be a generic streaming issue, but one specific to the format this site uses.

Here is another way to watch



Uploaded it to YouTube...enjoy!

Let me know if it works!

That one works.

They are playing nicely together, no fighting. Is this normal, or the result of editing


Reminds me, I have to beef up security this week. My 3 year old great niece is coming here for a long weekend, and has cracked all variants of Lindam based access control, and kept raiding the fridge. Top shelf was no deterrent, caught her marching downstairs with her bathroom sink step, and when I checked found the fridge already opened, but treats clearly out of reach in their new location.

At home, she cracked security and was found downstairs at 6am, having opened all the Christmas presents.

At pre school, first day, she raided some cookies from the pile of raffle prizes. This was supposedly the "first time" the teacher had been so thoroughly outsmarted by a "newbie".

One thing that catches her out is that just before doing something like this, she shuts any doors of rooms with an adult present, and tells them to "stay in there". It's my signal to NOT "stay in there" - but rather to launch a full investigation of "what's cooking", and figure out what the plan was.

In 2 years it's going to be double trouble, as her brother will then be 3, and she will be 5, and can BOTH conspire in mischief.

I just hope they can handle defeat - they don't get much of it at home.

Cute vid MM - I couldn't get it to load before either! You have a little band going on, all the kids sing and dance and now a drummer! woot for early retirement for Mommy!

lol@ Vinyl's little criminal - that's funny! Lock up the ladders too!

My Grandma told me this story about a little girl in her neighborhood who was selling Girl Guide cookies. (For you Americans, they're not the same as Girl Scout cookies - these have only one kind, the sandwich kind with cookie on each side and goo in the middle, each box comes with one half vanilla and one half chocolate in a little tray) So anyhow there's a tiny little knock on the door, Grandma goes and opens the door, there's a cute little girl there with boxes of cookies on a wagon, and the whole bottom part of her face is smeared with chocolate. Grandma said something like, "Oh those must be good cookies, I see you've eaten some!" and the girl says, "No I'm not allowed to eat any" so Grandma went to buy 2 boxes - but every single one had been opened and there were 1 or 2 chocolate cookies missing from each one. lol, Grandma thought it was the cutest thing ever and bought some anyhow.

So I guess the message here is that you can steal and lie as long as you're adorable doing it.

Thanks for fixing, it most definitely was worth waiting for! What a great bunch of kids you have!

This is just horrible and i thought my boy was a handful. LOL So how did the weekend go?

I don't know - it's not last weekend, and probably not this one, but the next, around 18th December.

She hurt herself, and couldn't walk properly, so didn't go to pre-school.

Not being able to walk might seem to be a good thing when it comes to raiding the fridge, but I would bet she would be able to walk perfectly well if I let my guard down

She gets and education with me that she doesn't get at home.

A couple of visits ago she learned a new word, and started using it at home.


No, it wasn't a naughty one

She learned to say "confiscated" after hearing it a few times from me when she visited, and kept being a handfull

 

[Zoorana]

Oh no poor her hope she gets better soon! She sounds pretty smart to be able to say the word complicated at the age of 3. Sounds like she has a really good teacher

She did!

It's only funny because it isn't MY fridge

 

[Zoorana]

Bwahahhahaha what a photo! How naughty she looks. Thanks for sharing that vinylweatherman

 

[vinylweatherman]

She has been here for 3 days now. So far, every attempt to raid my fridge has failed. She keeps trying the WRONG button on the stairgate I put on the kitchen door
It also means she has no idea what I have in there, so doesn't even know what to pester me for.

There is the most horrendous mess in her bedroom, but little of it has spread to the lounge (so far, fingers crossed).

She has turned her attention to the confiscorium (the back bedroom where I put all the stuff she isn't allowed to touch, as well as toys taken off her for bad behaviour) where she can see her baby brother's christmas present (hers is hidden under a curtain). It's a gate she DOES know how to open, but is not strong enough to unlock at the base.

I've always said 3's are worse than 2's. Twos toddle, threes can run! twos say a few words, threes can spew words and really scream! and threes are learning to climb, take things apart, and disassemble things. I don't miss any of that. I do love kids! Just other peoples kids...I can spoil them and then go home!!!!
