  1. Oh goodness I hear ya! My son just turned 8 and I so want to just stop the growing business! But on the other hand my 5 1/2 yr old daughter after a brief few months of finally sleeping through the night has reverted back to getting up EVERY single night! Such a rollercoaster being mums.

  2. Yes it’s like a pendulum isn’t it? You get your baby or toddler to finally sleep through the night and then they wake up when being toilet trained, or from nightmares or because they just aren’t tired. I didn’t realise how much I loved my sleep until I was deprived of it by my children. I do hope you get some sleep soon. xx

  3. My days consist of toilet training the 2.5yr old, answering the constant stream of ” how?” ” why?” Questions from the 3.5yr old, having sex talks with the almost 14 yr old & trying to talk about what the almost 17 year old will do when he finishes school next year. Hopping from one extreme to the other is draining some days but it does keep me on my toes 😉

    • Oh this is familiar to me. I have a toilet training 3yo, 5yo and 18yo who has just finished school. It keeps life interesting 🙂

  4. Ah parenting challenges…. just published a blog post on how challenging I am finding it having a 3 year old! I find 3 so much harder then 2 (and this is the third time I have done it!).

  5. I’m sure you still look beautiful when tired Chantelle. Sorry that the girls aren’t sleeping well, therefore you aren’t either. My current situation involves what I like to call end-of-term-itis…..my daughter has it big time (she of course will disagree). It involves all levels of tiredness, grumpiness, back chatting, arguing and fighting with her brother! Bring on the holidays!
