I hate driving in my car...

Well I don't but apparently Little Miss does! Since blogging last new emotions are springing up all over the place. A now confident toddler Bella is desperate to talk. She has a large repertoire of words and animal sounds and a desire to be totally independent and free. Try and restrain her in a stroller or car seat and be prepared for a fight. She does the total straight and rigid move making it impossible to fold her in to either. We had to abandon a much needed trip to the shops today as total meltdown ensued. I have advice from several mummy friends to try the bribery/distraction method. Tomorrow I will try again armed with some much loved but prohibited keys for her and maybe even a piece of chocolate. Never did I think I'd have to resort to such tactics with my little girl, but hey, that was before I became a mother!

I've uploaded a video of her latest interest.

It's about time blogging is resumed!

I've been guilty of being consumed in so many other things that I've totally abandoned Bellas blog. It was never my intention to stop but when you've had too much time away it becomes difficult to restart. But what's 15 minutes each night to keep everyone updated and create a blog of Bellas life for her to look back on when she's older...so we're back at it!
