They are bright and high maintenance!

People keeping saying to me 'you must be so proud, so good to see two children with free will and some spirit'. That may be the case but you try living with them! Both girls have been nothing short of a nightmare of strops, tantrums and simply not doing as they are told for the past few days. Pictured is Lucy eating a forty minute bowl of risotto rice as she had to be encouraged with every painful and very slow mouthful. She had, by that point been on one for about two hours! Anna, has been in a 'if you leave me alone, I will scream the house down' kind of mood. Oh joy! I have never felt so relaxed, calm and at peace before?!? NOOOOOOTTTTT! Despite this we did spend a cracking afternoon at the beach with Granny and Grandpa today in beautiful autumn sunshine watching the seals and para gliders whilst having an impromptu paddle. Not bad for nearly November. Anna sadly had a nasty fall and gave herself a nasty cut and first potential scar right across her forehead. Bless her, she was really brave, that must come from her free spirit! Both now in bed, quietly sleeping and recharging their batteries ready for the battle in the morning when they begin phase two. I am ready too girls, bring it on.....
