A Good Day

Have i ever mentioned how much i love my kids? I mean really really adore them , there 3 amazing little people and im so proud of them. I would never of believed my life would turn out like this, sometimes i feel like the luckiest person alive.

What has brought this on? Not a thing, lately i have been overflowing with love for them. Sometimes it’s almost to much , with this type of love there is so much fear . Fear of loosing them, fear of them growing older and not needing me .

Today could of not started any better , i woke at 5.30 to Ru babbling in the cot. He talked for a few moments before going back to sleep . I was shocked at the time, for the first time ever Ru had slept through . He went to sleep at 6pm the previous night and never got up till 7am . His sleeping has been getting so much better lately but he normally wakes at least once.
The kids all played together so well in the morning , Ru is getting involved in there games and they seem like such a little gang.

This afternoon i took Ru and A to my local breastfeeding group , the two one year olds who normally spend their time fighting got on great. The health visitor even remarked how well they got along , i think they both had fun.
After A left we had dinner and the kids went for a bath , Rebecca sang about 3 little monkeys as they all played. Till of course Ru stood up and Eilidh decided a certain part of his anatomy had to “come off so he could be a girl like me” . She pulled as hard as she could and my little boy did not even notice. Where do kids get their ideas? .

Rebecca at some point noticed i had my period , now due to multiple pregnancies and long term breastfeeding she has not witnessed this much . Tonight she was full of questions , when i mentioned she would get it when older the fit began. She is a BIG girl and that means she does BIG girl stuff , the 4 year old proceeded to grab the towels and tried to put one on . She does not want to wait , she wants her periods NOW. Wonder if in 10 years she will feel the same?

Then came bed time, who does not love this time of night?

Eilidh was tired and eager to go to bed, before i even got Becs and Ru into there pjs she was tucking herself in . I went to her and turned on the night light (which i thought was strange as i was sure i had already done that) and she started crying. She wanted it OFF , she wanted it to be all dark . Ok… whatever the 2 year old wants i guess.

So i went and go the other 2 ready for bed and went to put Wow Wow Wubzy on for Rebecca, she will watch an episode while i feed Ru and put him to bed. Tonight she did not want any shows , instead she took her story books and curled up in my bed. As i fed Ru she read herself her bedtime stories (she was quietly mouthing the stories and rhymes behind me) , when she was done she turned off the lamp and went to sleep. I know this may sound trival to most but Rebecca does not put herself to sleep, each night she cuddles up with mummy or daddy and falls asleep like that.

Now it is just after 7 and the evening stretches ahead of me , Craig is away on business till tomorrow and its just me and the kids. Im going to spend a couple of hours studying then curl up with my book (Everythings Eventual by Stephen Kind if anyone cares. Have read it before but picked it up for The Little Sisters of Eluria which related to the Dark Tower series i just finished reading.)

So night all , hope your day as been as good as mines.
