Funny turn of phrase

Looking at a canvas on the wall of herself in my sling, sitting next to her brother and Baka, daughter says "So, that's me in mama's pocket, and my brother and Baka, who is pretty old really." Love her turn of phrase! My funny girl! 😂❤️

The birth day anniversary

Our beautiful boy, named 'angel face' for the first few days before we settled on a name, was born six years ago today. He has become a kind, loving, passionate, boy, with a huge heart, a special sight for the fragments of beauty and love in the world that most people miss. He hears everything. He understands so much more than his young mind should. He is the light of my life, the first person who held a mirror to my soul to show me the unseen lights that shine within me, and the first person to hold a torch in the darkest corners of my soul, allowing me to grow and become more who I should always have been. I am so grateful he was brought to me and will always love him with all my heart. Happy birthday, my son. ❤️

(And he surpassed himself this morning, rising at 2am for his birthday! Thankfully we got him to sleep another hour or so around 5/6ish - our son of the boundless energy!)

Pre birthday excitement

Trying to get excited pre birthday son to sleep and he spent about 40 minutes telling me about how much love he has in his heart it feels like it's going to burst, and then the love will be shared around the world, and his heart will get put back together and healed bigger, so it can contain more love. Then he told me all about his idea for backpack polystyrene mini houses for homeless people, with waterproof taping and an electricity conductor to make sure they don't get struck by lightening...and how when he's bigger he'll be a builder and get all his mates to build free houses with him for homeless people. My son. ❤️❤️❤️

Compassion of a five year old

Asked son yesterday if he did anything new at school that day. He said he had, with great excitement. He said he'd seen a girl in his year who he didn't know who was standing all alone at lunch time. So he asked her if she wanted to join in playing with him and his friends. She did. ❤️

Proud mama. 😍

Three year old gratitude

Apparently dinner is "poo poo rubbish" according to my three year old. I'm serving spaghetti (which she has loved every since first trying it), but she wanted polenta.

I look forward to the day when she will be perfectly welcome to choose what she's having for dinner because SHE'LL BE COOKING IT! 😂😂😂

Sleepy contemplations

Daughter's falling asleep words:

"Mama, if I cut my ear off, it would really, really hurt..." 😳

I suppose I should be grateful she wasn't talking about my ear! 😂

Colours

Daughter tells me she loves tan (my legs) and teal (my coat) and a whole host of other colours three year olds shouldn't know and men don't distinguish. 😂

Lessons from a five year old

The other night when putting him to sleep, five year old son told me he'd figured out a way to calm himself - breathe in through his nose and out through his mouth. He then said, "mama, I really like who I am, I like me."
