Tom boy toddler

Jaeda...

The ultrasound tech couldnt tell me if whe was a boy or girl, and sometimes i wonder still...

Unlike her sister J is loud, more than mildly destructive, hard hitting and resiliant and more often than not referred to as the animal of the family.


Openly defiant but quick to repent, miss J is less focused that her sister but far more headstrong.

Given the option at the aqaurium of about 15 animals to colour in including all the pretty ones like dolphins and seahorses J choose the shark, then as she takes 10secs to cover the pic in blue crayon she goes back to select...the shark again... not once but 3 times. When suggesting the pretty coral scene I was met with a determined "No, i donnn liiiyyyke it!"

Jaeda's favourite game is hiding in her closet and jumping out at people "roaring".She is pretty convincing too. :D

She loves dinosaurs (and ocasionally ballerinas), racing cars and iggle piggle.

She is a jumping,climbing, running, water baby and she loves sleep, her sister and puzzles and FOOD!!!


Most recently she made off with Graces toy baking set only to use the "electic beater" by removing one beater and putting it on the wall like an electric drill, saying "fix it".

I guess there had to be one considering their mother was a skateboarding, baggy pants wearing, owner of only one solitary pair of shoes (skate shoes) with not a skirt or dress to be found until a wedding dress made its way into the closet...

not me monday- it's Jaeda here again

hi, i am nearly 2 year old Jaeda otherwise known as the animal of the family...i have confessed here once before... seems like there are lots of things i DONT do!

This week i did make my (twice as old and twice as big) sister cry on more than 3 occasions using brute force, not me!


I would never do something chronically embarrassing like throw the weeks biggest temper tantrum at the feet of the national director of "Growing Kids God Way". No way, mum had just finished telling her how great the course was and how she would love to facilitate a group . Such poorly timed bad behaviour would never be me!

We went swimming twice this week as the bad weather meant daddy had time off work, and the indoor pools are heated , and I most certainly did not (with absolutely no history of doing number twos in the water) decide to 'go' in the water twice. And i definately did not witnes my own mother pretending to swim while discretly ushering an excaped 'foreign object' into the filter skimmer.. nope not me, and not MY mummy!

I did learn about 400 new words this week, busting out hot,(ho...tttt), cold, warm,rain,(rayyy) mess, car, doggy, cat, meow, bed, yummy, yucky, hat, shoe, sock, tummy, head, hair,ear, nose, mouth play,(pway) draw, drink, nappy(nabby), poopoo, weewee, and the one we have all been waiting for GRACE! oh and in a triumph of my mothers parenting skills, Dora(Dorora) as in Dora the explorer from the TV amoung other words

Hope you enjoyed my not me's, hopefully mummy will be back next week to do hers, but in the mean time lots of other grown ups and mummys have posted theirs over on Mckmamas blog. Go check it out!
