Big daddy

Two year old daughter: you're little, mama.
Me: am I?
Daughter: yes, like me and S (brother).
Me: what about daddy?
Daughter: daddy is big...with big muscles and big legs.

Underfoot

Me: you really like being outdoors and barefoot, don't you?
Two year old daughter: yeah, I do!
Me: with your feet in the squishy mud, and the grass under your feet...
Daughter: yeah! And the poopies in my toes!
Me: 😳

(Damn all the dog owners who don't pick up their dog's poops).

Dear deer

Just blew a loud noise with grass for the kids and a deer popped it's head around the closest patch of ferns to check us out! Beautiful! 😍

Sleep maths

Counted the kids to sleep tonight. Daughter was conned into stopping milk as I said boobies would rest while I counted to 30. I counted 28, 29, 40, 41, 42, all the way to 130 by which point she was asleep. Son was wired so took over from husband around 8am and counted to 281 before he was asleep. I love my version of maths!! 😍

An engineer in the making?

And this is how my son plays with cars.

Memories

Aww, little fat feet of my now four year old son. 😍😍

This was the back seat pre son tearing down and destroying all our blinds (hence tinted windows now) and choking on a bit of plastic he pulled off the mobile. I love my curious child, though we do go through plasters very quickly! 😂

Sibling love

All was silent for ages while I put away laundry. Turns out that they're loving each other instead of quietly killing each other. 😍 💗

A good day

A good day. Lovdly cycle ride to nursery despite son falling off twice (brave boy). Bought a lovely new table at a charity shop and found a nice basket for car books. The boy was given a book for raising most money in the school for charity, with his test tube challenge (proud mama and thank you so much to everyone who sponsored him!!). Daughter and I had a lovely afternoon pottering in the garden, weeding, sorting out seedlings and planting more seeds. 😍 Love the sunshine!

Now to manage dinner and bedtime with the usual 4-6pm incessant fighting. 😂

An eventful day

Two year old daughter fell head first out of the car and has a head lump and cuts and bruises. Did fine on her check at A&E and was climbing anything over a foot high and running and screaming. Bounced back in more ways than one! Doc very impressed with her.

Four year old son swam 12m backstroke unaided today! Gets his 5m badge. I'm so proud of him!

My wonderful tough, lively, vibrant kids. 😍

Fussy eater

Daughter eats first piece of toast, aged 2 years, 2 months and 2 weeks! Hurrah!

Admittedly not the healthiest, but it's a start.
