in chicken,daily life,kids

she likes to climb. and jump. and luckily she likes to fall as well.

i am a nervous wreck the entire time she is awake.

clover has also taught her brother how to scale the furniture. unfortunately, kieran is not as adept at the art of getting down and just tonight gave himself a bloody nose.

when the twins go to bed at night i feel an immediate rush of exhaustion as the ability to let my guard down finally happens.
i think i burn more calories from worry than anything else i do during the day. that is right there is what i call a silver lining.

speaking of silver lining…the twins were born to that song. they really are gold in so many ways.

she is hilarious. though I am sure I will be freaking over her antics as well when I am there. no fear. i like the mention of the silver lining, that song will always make me think of them.

I love Clover's little clover. I know your pain. My kids scare the crap put of me on a daily basis. My son already has scars! Who has scars at 2?!

How adorable. My youngest Ellie is a little climber. No fear at all. my middle daughter is scared of the smallest things in life.
Looks like you have a little goer on your hands :)
(LOVE Clovers Clip)

I know how you feel!! we were only at the er tonight with our little Hannah with a gash to her head…. after diving off the coffee table onto the lounge (well that apparently was the plan! xo). She climbs everything! i leave the kitchen for a split second and find her standing on the island bench – smiling. I too dont stop until she sleeps. xo

Clover has to come to my part of the word – Northern Ireland – there are plenty of 'Clover' related accsessories over here for her! ;)

Feel free to send me your address. I’d be happy to sen her a little Clover item, because it seems only fair with a name like that, that on behalf of my country I do a little representing! x

i am on guard constantly with my little guy – so more so than i ever was with my older two. it adds…excitement;)
just yesterday he did a back flip, slow and agonizing, off of the club chair in my room. onto his head. from just standing on it. sigh.
his chipped front teeth are a constant reminder of his love of peril…clover is in good company…although my guy sounds like he has more kieranish luck,lol.

we would be so lucky if it actually burned calories…

great capture:))

I love it! :) My "baby" is now almost 8 years old (where does the time go???) but she still has her mother's grace (or lack of…). She's crammed a rock up her nose (sneezed that one out after about 15 minutes of insanity), climbed (and fell out of) a rather large tree, pretended a rock was an ice cube and chipped her tooth….fumbles a lot. I ask her all the time – "What happens when you pick a fight with concrete?" Her response – "Concrete always wins!" Smart girl. :)

you have my complete admiration. i have no idea how you manage. everybody keeps telling me that i should enjoy my time now (my boy is 6 months), before he gets to the mobile phase.

love the bow in clover's hair. and the falling…. wow!

i hope kieran's nose is all better.

Speaking of "Silver Lining," have you seen this beautiful acoustic version Jenny played? http://vimeo.com/4176669

Apparently my Dad sang "Greatest Love of All" when we were all born…he won't admit it now though but my mum is adamant he did! I love the first picture of Clover Jayne…does she scream with fits of giggles when she falls? Rascal!

I was like that with both my kids. Unfortunately I didn't "get" it right away and let a ten year split creep in between them. Now that the little one is nearly 7 and not nearly as clumsy or fearless I can rest a little easier, just in time for the older one to start driving *sigh*.
