Stacey Solomon panics she needs 'eyes in the back of her head' as Rex plays with Rose

Stacey Solomon joked she needs 'eyes in the back of her head' as her son Rex played with his baby sister Rose.

The Loose Women star, 32, shares her two youngest children with fiancé Joe Swash, and she’s been regularly updating her five million Instagram followers with their antics.

Stacey is juggling renovations at her Essex mansion - dubbed Pickle Cottage - as she oversees the massive kitchen refurbishment, as well as bathrooms in the house being finished.

The TV star, who is also mum to sons Zachary, 13, and Leighton, 9, from previous relationships, is serving as project manager during the transformation at her and Joe’s family home, as well as returning to work after ending her maternity leave.

Stacey touched upon the never-ending struggle of being a busy mum-of-four in her latest social media post, as she made her followers aware of her two-year-old son’s mischievous streak.

“Good morning from Jurassic Cottage,” she jokingly captioned the sweet picture on her Instagram Stories.

In the snap, baby Rose is in her bouncing chair while doting big brother Rex is showing her his extensive collection of toy dinosaurs, including one huge brachiosaurus figure that looms over her.

“Rex loves showing Rose all of his dinos,” Stacey explained. “He is bursting for her to get up and play.”

She said she was waiting for the new tiles to go up in Rex’s bathroom, and then she could get started on transforming it into “Jurassic Park”.

She then shared a clip of Rex playing with his baby sister, as he’s rocking her bouncer up and down while showing off more of his dinosaur toys.

“That time in your child’s life when you need to grow another pair of eyes in the back of your head,” she wrote atop the video.

Set to the music of the Pink Panther, Stacey can be seen hiding behind one of the wooden beams in the living room as she spies on her two youngest children.

Towards the end of the footage, Rex tries to undo the clasp on the bouncer, in an effort to free his sister.

The former X Factor star then revealed she had enlisted the help of her sister Jemma, and the duo were tackling her wardrobes while looking after baby Rose.
