She is usually such a content little thing, she's sooo much easier than her brothers ever were. She has a nice little routine of napping on school runs and awake during the day and only wakes me three times a night for a feed and then straight back down in her cot. She's starting to stare at us and almost smiling, she loves tummy time and holds her head up like a champ. She's getting big, she's already filling out 0-3 and wears some dresses in size 3-6!? She's magnificent, I generally feel like I'm cheating with her...perhaps she will make up for it as a toddler?!
Today is Wednesday, Wednesday is my favourite day of the week as both the boys are at school and nursery (awful mummy!) and Craig's home. So it gives us a chance to actually have some time together (and Evelyn of Course) but with his work pattern sometimes it can feel like we are two passing people living in the same house only really saying Hi and a quick run down of the main points of our day, only for one of us (me) to have to rush off for a school run, a nappy change or a load of washing.
Danny turns 5 in a few weeks and Connor is 4 in January and of course Christmas bang in the middle -great planning from us there ha! So we decided to sort out the playroom before the onslaught of toys in the next few months! Plus I'm sure by this time next year a few dollies and pink toys!? will have made their way into it too! It's been so much fun thinking about what to buy Evelyn for Christmas! I've been so excited waiting for her my first dolls house to arrive, story books about fairies and unicorns and desperately searching for the perfect Ragdoll. it's been a welcome break from transformers and avengers!
We picked up a second hand computer cupboard (remember those!) today as the boys, especially Danny, love drawing and reading and writing and their old mini kids avengers table always got piled high with books, pens with no lids, half finished drawings and their latest collections of leaves, stones, budgie feathers and interesting sticks. We put all their little collections in tubs and displayed them all inside this computer cupboard and put their lidded pens and glue on top and honestly, their little heads exploded with excitement when they saw it after school. Danny has put his favourite books on top and their prized shiney stones collection haha! Who knew a naffy computer cupboard could be so exciting!?
Danny also gets his magazine on a Wednesday. Its the kids national geographic bugs one. Each week you collect a bug in a glass block and a magazine all about them. You get display cases too, and this week came with the second case for extra large bugs. Honestly these things are his pride and joy, and us spending 5.99 on a dead bug every week makes him so happy haha! He sits there with his magnifying glass and draws them, he's the cutest little geek ever!
Connor is doing great. He's making some lovely little friendships at nursery and has been a little cutey at home with Evelyn and is still my little scrump who has to hold my bra strap to fall asleep every night and always manages to sneak into bed with me at least twice every night! He made a little game up on the way home from school today. Just kicking leaves really, whilst singing the Blaze theme tune but he was giggling so much he said his belly hurt! It amazes me how different my boys are. Danny seems so much older than his years, and Connor seems to be exactly where he is supposed to be as a silly three year old. Danny joined in with the leaf kicking and suddenly he seemed little too. It made me stop and realise how little they both really are and also how lovely they both are. I feel a bit stretched nowadays, and I hold my hands up, I don't do as much with them as I used to. But well, a breastfed newborn kind of has to be my main priority most of the time. But just doing something silly and simple is all they really need from me to know I'm still me. I just want to wrap them all up in a big ball and not let them get any bigger but at the same time, I can't wait to see who they will be next month, next year. Perhaps when Evelyn is a little older and can be away from me I'll start mummy and son dates as I'd really love some one to one time with each of them, even if all we do is kick leaves or find interesting sticks!
Until next time!.....I have a nappy to change!
Thanks for visiting! XxxX
