When I joined in with this project last year, I was tottering on the brink of utter despair. I wrote my entry on the cusp month between the end of Freddie’s time and the beginning of Ben’s time. That single month that was left before I found out I was pregnant again. It was feeling […]
Yellow Bird; that mummy and baby thing. And home ed.
I’ve got a 4 month post coming because I think it is time to stop counting in weeks. But one last time. He’s 17 weeks and he is so big and so changed and so different and utterly adorable. In the rare moments when he does stop feeding, what he likes more than anything is […]
The Smacking Thing
I guess there is every chance that by the end of this post you’ll hate me. Or worse, be deeply disappointed in me. Or angry with me. But there is something I would like to say because I’m a little tired of sanctimonious parenting posts preaching perfection at me. I’ve been meaning to say it […]
It's Tricky
Two nights ago Ben had his first night in a crib, which as you can see from the rather pants picture that I faffed with in an effort to distract myself, is a close to the side of my bed as it can be. I’d say it is as close to my side of the […]
11 weeks old
So much has changed. Again 🙂 He smiles, cheekily and engagingly, he visits smiles on us when we please him. He waves his arms and is thrilled when they connect with things, kicks his legs to get rid of blankets. I swear he wees at us on purpose and is charmed by the cries of […]
Cousins
We are having a lovely few days. Comparing this year to last year is something I am trying hard not to do, because it seems unkind or disrespectful to be happy this year. But we are. Now is not the time to dwell or try to make sense of how unreal the last two years […]
I think it's kind of funny & I think it's kind of sad.
Dear Freddie, Today you should be two. We might have had a party, met up with your cousins and played chubby limbed boy games in the sun that shone. We might have driven trains on wooden track handed down from your sisters or bought you a new ride on car like the one Josie had […]
Mother's Day
It’s really not about expensive gifts. Handmade cards, a present made with love, a specially laid table with menus and croissants for breakfast. Mother’s Day came and went easier this year, though it’s best not looked too hard at. Easiest to think not of what I have or don’t have but of what being a […]
A Weekend in 4×4 Photos
We had a lovely weekend. When we got to the end of of it I was able to send this tweet:- “Crafting done, TKD belt earned, rugby played, PDF published, milk pumped, baby slinged and fed, walk had, knitting achieved. Good day.” I thought that was fairly productive really. Saturday was the normal round of […]
6 weeks old
So I should be back to normal by now 😉 However, it would be fair to say that while I am indeed a very contented mother, I’m not following, or indeed indulging in, any methods expounded by certain parenting ‘gurus’. Hmmmm. Ben has eyelashes, real proper ones with darkness to them that you can see. […]
