Finding My Balance

Sometimes I just need to get upside down.

This is the pot that Genevieve decorated at Bunnings on the weekend. We are going to give it to my mum, but it's so pretty that I don't want to!!

We've been very poorly and I have been having trouble with my phone. But we are still around. Yesterday we went to Bunnings for the littlest thing and found a free child's workshop. So of course Genevieve needed to paint a flower pot or two. Then we found "muddy puddles" so of course they needed to be jumped in.

Yesterday we picked up a second hand play centre for Genevieve. She is so happy and plays pretty independently on it! We had to scoot her mini trampoline up to the steps because she can't quite make the steps otherwise, but she just thinks that adds to the adventure.

Happiness is a child with bubbles.

fromadaddysview you annoy me nearly on the daily, but I have never loved a person as my equal as much as I love you.

No matter the height of the fall your Daddy will always catch you.

I didn't believe in heaven until I looked into your soul. 

Today I said goodbye to my car. Genevieve took it pretty hard, calling out "byeeee broken car. Me no sit broken car... Mummy's broken car". I am really sad to see it go but at the same time I see it as moving forward

Today was a snuggly day for bubba today. This morning she didn't want to wake up. Then this afternoon at my mum's she refused to nap so needed some quiet snuggles with her granny.

Part of my self care plan includes enjoying the little things that I used to enjoy. I find it difficult and I fight it a lot. But I decided to give it a go tonight. Now I am frustrated because I can't get it right.

We went to a friends house on the weekend and now I need to get Genevieve one of those play equipment things.

Genevieve found a gecko underneath her outdoor dolls house this morning. She wasn't too sure about him and didn't want to get too close. I thought he was pretty cute though!

If I could have her this way forever I think I would. The tantrums aside the honest wonder that is nearly constantly on her face just melts my heart every day.

The first time Genevieve has eaten noodles. She was having a great time. I had put off giving them to her because we ate them so often when we had no money. But she absolutely loved it.

Genevieve is being an adventurous little one today! She discovered moving her chair to a place that she can't reach this morning. I let her go about her mission but her face when I interrupted her was priceless. "Genevieve are you supposed to be up there?" "uhoooooooh mummy!!" My lounge is a mess but we are having a blast!
