Home sweet home

It has been a while since my last post but I think moving house with a 14 month old and a 36 month old gives me a valid excuse. We are pretty much settled in now (still a few teething problems as it's a new house - mainly with the central heating) but we're happy with our choice. The main source of stress is now the old house as the owners are looking for $5000 to cover damages which we think is just wear & tear so Andy is off to a tribunal next week to hopefully get a resolution in our favour.
We threw a party for Celia's 3rd birthday the weekend after we moved and as you can see from the below photos she had a great time.
Turning 3 has however resulted in my little angel turning into a diva / monster - tantrums every day, "No, don't want to!" is the phrase of choice. We have hourly battles as she refuses to eat, get dressed, brush teeth, go to bed etc. Patience was never my strong point so I am near breaking point! I am even trying out Jo Frost supernanny techniques (I swore after I found out that Gina Ford had no children never to listen to the advice of a childless person again!).
Anyway, I'm sure it's just a phase, I just hope the phase doesn't last 14 years or you will be seeing us in Utah on a future series of 'Bootcamp'.......
