Hubby chooses kids nicknames

Everyone gives their kids nicknames. Now my nicknaming skills are pretty normal, darling for my daughter and buddy for my son, in this blog we are not going to talk about how weird I am, but for once how weird and "creative" hubby is with nicknames.

So a quick run down, our children's nicknames have evolved over time. Almost every week they get a new one. Hubby has the usual names that he uses but then expands on them to make up new and weird creations.
For example, when our daughter was born and for the first couple weeks she was mini darling, we both called her this as she was born 7 weeks premmie and was very tiny so the name suited. Mini has stuck through the year, and several variations have been made, the most recent being mini von sprinkle bottom. I don't know how he came up with this, but I was out running errands and came home to our daughter having a new name.

Our son on the other hand, before we knew his gender the nickname I chose was jelly, because there had been such a short time between pregnancies my stomach was not yet back to pre pregnancy and was well, giggly like jelly. This name has stuck, and both hubby and I use it daily. When jelly is crying hubby turns it into yelly, to rhyme and mention the fact that he is being so loud.  I try to only use my sons real name or buddy, but i'm hearing jelly so much that its caught on. One of the more recent nicknames for him is jelly von daygo, again I don't know                                                                                   where it came from, but it does suit him in a                                                                         way. 

Surprisingly, as much as I prefer to use the kids real names, having these nicknames have become helpful in a way, like if I quickly need to say something regarding one of the kids, like for example, "mini is eating something" hubby instantly knows she has picked up something random off the ground and is sticking it in her mouth, and it was a lot quicker to say that then " our daughters name, has picked up something and is trying to eat it". By that stage whatever it was would already be gone.

So all in all, I don't like some of the nicknames hubby comes up with or the fact that he never uses our kids real names. These nicknames are random and we named the children for them to be called by their names, but on the other hand it is kinda cute and time saving using jelly and mini, hubby really likes it as well, because he can bust out into song and rhyme everything to match their nicknames and make the song work.... Until it gets stuck in my head for hours

So if you have any weird and wonderful nicknames for your children let me know in the comments below.

How To Clean The Walls When Kids Draw On Them

I feel compelled to write this blog to share some tips for getting the kids "artworks" off your walls. Miss 2 year old had decided that her drawing book was to boring and instead do a lovely master piece the whole length if our hallway, lucky it was only crayon so it is easy enough to get off with the right tools, but there have been some occasions of texta/markers being used. And before I learnt the following trick I was stumped and panicked on how to rid it off the walls quickly. For crayon, colouring in pencils. I use a magic eraser block, there are many different brands depending where you live. But this product is a miracle in a small foam block, great for getting any marks off walls. So for this reason I always keep a stash on hand for evens like this, or if there is any dirty spots, scuff marks on my walls. What you do it wet the foam block, and squeeze out the excess water, and lightly wipe the area you need to clean. Now I cant stress this enough that for a small ...

My Children Wont Sleep! SOS!

Why on earth cant kids just bloody sleep when they need to. I'm currently dealing with miss 15 month old, who believes since turning 1 that she doesn't need her second nap any more. Well sorry to burst your bubble kid, but you do need it, More than anything right now! This crying at the drop of a hat, throwing tantrums about small things like you had to take an extra step to reach your toy and by god, you are showing me just how displeased you are. Like seriously, what has been programmed into kids that makes them believe they don't need to sleep when so obviously tired. They are deifying the law of effect where if sleepy you sleep, so that you are no longer sleepy. Its not bloody rocket science. But here I am sitting, with my child screaming in my ear as she is so overtired its a joke. I'm contemplating booking into a sleep school to sort this shit out. Like what am I meant to do, she is sat here, having a hissy fit but if I try to put her to bed the whole world i...
