This week’s strop?
Because I wanted her to come in and have her breakfast and get dressed as we couldn’t do the school run for her older siblings with her in her pyjamas……………

Now my youngest is renowned for her strops (she even made the front page of Mumsnet!) – and it’s been a few weeks without one, so we had a classic today.
She refused to walk through the school grounds to get her big sister from school. A stand off ensued. OBVIOUSLY it was school sports day so there were loads of extra people, including well meaning Grandparents (not hers) asking what the matter was.
After 10 minutes, I had to give in and carry her. But when we got to the playground I put her down – and the strop turned into a sleep, on the concrete …….
This is my entry for Brummy Mummy of 2’s #wickedwednesdays
My youngest daughter is super cute, super funny, super feisty – and super stroppy!
After I’d posted a number of photos on Facebook of her in a mard, a friend suggested I should do an A-Z list of them – so here we are!!
A – Ambleside – in a strop because she couldn’t go waterski-ing with her siblings, but it’s ok – if she turned around in the pushchair we couldn’t see her….
B – Bluestone in Wales – there were a few from this trip!
C – Crazy Golf (this is also similar to my face when forced to play the ridiculous game!)
D – Dubai, on a bed, with FILTHY feet!
E – Everyone else has a birthday before me (this is technically correct as she’s a November birthday – and she doesn’t understand the concept of time) This was on her sister’s 11th birthday
F – Fence at Bluestone
G – Genting Arena, about to watch Disney on Ice
H – home, post school run, refusing to get out of the pushchair
I – If I cover my eyes no one can see me being stroppy
J – Juha’s Journey Lazy River at Wild Wadi – not a full on strop, but definitely not loving it…
K – Kings Norton Rhinos – whilst watching her big brother play rugby
L – Lagoon (Blue) changing rooms – see also S and U for the full range of this strop! This is where she’d fallen asleep mid strop…….
M – Mine Train ride at Alton Towers – think it totally traumatised her!
N – naughty step, on a Friday night, for pulling her sister’s hair
O – Oxfordshire, at some friends for the weekend in their local park
P – Photoshoot for my parents’ birthdays – annoying she wouldn’t behave, but the results were quite cute pictures!
Q – Queen of clean hands – only a mild strop over excessive sugar on her doughnut making her fingers sticky
R – Restaurant on Grandad’s 70th birthday
S – Swimming baths whilst on holiday at Bluestone
T – Towers of Alton (I know, I’m pushing it a bit with the whole alphabet thing!) Not wanting to go in the pushchair, or walk…..
U – Uncle Tim having to carry her back after falling asleep mid strop (see S and L above!)
V – Vale do Lobo – this is the FIRST EVER STROP PHOTO – in a lovely Chinese restaurant, where she announced ‘I am very cross and very shouty’
W – Windermere, on the lake, not loving the whole boat thing
I think we might need to save X, Y, Z for any particularly impressive ones before she grows out of it (please let that be soon!!)
I think this is pretty much a definite #wickedwednesday post for BrummyMummyof2’s linky!!
After the success of last week’s strop photo (now known as ‘Ballerina Bum‘) for Brummy Mummy of 2’s Wicked Wednesdays I’ve chosen another child’s strop photo this week (we could have a recurring theme here with 4 of the blighters!!)
This is the first time our youngest adopted the ‘I have my arms crossed so this means I’m in a really bad mood’ approach to stropping….
I have to say it’s a skill she’s worked on – in fact my favourite photo of our entire summer which I blogged about here was a variation on this theme!

For this week’s Wicked Wednesday for Brummy Mummy of 2 I’ve gone retro – and back in time to summer 2010. I was heavily (very heavily as you can see!) pregnant with child number 3 – and the eldest was having a mahoosive strop because her brother had told her he didn’t like her!
Classic 18th birthday photo material…..
