Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Lucy continues to be a very energetic young lady and the naughty corner was an effective strategy in us teaching her how to behave properly and do the right things. Or so we thought! We decided that the time she spent on the naughty corner was not consistent so Amy bought an egg timer that would sound when she was allowed to leave. Just so happened the egg timer was a chicken. This morning Lucy got the chicken, gently hit Amy with it, said 'naughty chicken, you must go in the naughty corner' and put it in the naughty corner! So that blows that idea way open. Potty training continues to get better by the day and Lucy is doing really well. We now have multiple wee-wees on the toilet or potty daily. I am so proud....
Anna is doing grand and continues to live life in 'F word' way. Feed, sleep, scream, time on play mat, time in sling, sleep, feed, burp, fart, poo, bath, scream, feed, sleep and done. Added in between much screaming is lovely periods of time in which she has what Lucy calls 'wakey eyes'. Got to say though, as lovely as Anna is we are seven weeks into her life and we are both completely shattered. Really shattered and I have to say my parenting patience with both Lucy and Anna has been stretched this week, simply because I am shattered.
