currently just learned that i had messages waiting for me so please forgive me for how long it took me to see this! i’m doing better! managing at least — very excited to get some drafts posted! thank you for checking in on me starling 🌤️ how are you doing? i’m all ears ☀️

. . . burn out can be very hard for us carers! we know more than anything regression isn’t always controllable and that being there for our littles is always our top priority and there’s nothing more that we want to do, so when our energy gets low it tends to stay low because we tend to be hard on ourselves over it! just because our energy is low doesn’t mean you did anything wrong or should be upset because of it, we love seeing our little ones happy especially if we can’t be at the moment, you cheer us up soo much! and to other carers reading this, you’re no less of a carer during your burn outs, take care of yourselves and do your best! 🤍🔅

It’s Earth Day, Kiddo! You know what that means don’t you? It’s time to go outside and clean up what we can for Mother Nature! Hm? Mother Nature? You’re absolutely right sweetheart! Just like I’m your momma, she’s a momma to all of nature. She cares about nature with all her heart! So today especially we have to clean with allll our heart to help her out. Why? Because some people aren’t very nice to her kiddos. People leave a lot of trash around that ends up harming them, and I would never want people making you unsafe, so we shouldn’t let others do that to nature either! Good job kiddo, I’m so proud of you for helping out today! 🌎

“Well first let’s go over some rules so you stay safe and sound while playi…” Once again, you’re dashing out the door before I can finish talking, such an impatient little thing. I quickly pull on my rain gear to join you outside. Luckily it only took me a minute, because as soon as I make my way over to the large puddle you’re playing in, your rain boot gets suctioned in the mud and you lose your balance when trying to pull it up to jump again. I manage to steady you just in time to prevent a boo-boo. Looking down at you, I soften my face and lightly pinch the tip of your nose between my index and middle finger. You pout, “Maybe I should have listened to the safety rules…”. “My poor kiddo, you’re just a little bit clumsy”. For the rest of your playtime I make sure to hold your hand while you jump your little heart out.

You rush over to the door in a hurry to get your rain boots on, “Slow down!” I call out after you to try and avoid any falls. I bring over the light raincoat to put on you and zip it up. Before I can caution you to be careful of slipping in the mud, you’re already darting out of the door to go find the little symbols of luck scattered in the grass. Shaking my head, I smile and follow you out into the slight sprinkle and help you look. After collecting for a bit I hear you excitedly start to call out to me, “Mommy Mommy! Looky here!” I turn around to you eagerly bouncing in spot, you hold out your palm to show me a 4-leafed clover. “This one must be special! It has 4 leaves instead of 3!” I can’t help but smile as I adore the cute look of curiosity on your face. “You’re right, little one! This one is special! Do you know what they say about 4-leaf clovers?” Your gaze darts up to me as you shake your head quickly. “They say these ones offer you magical protection from bad luck, and guess what else? It’s supposed to help you see fairies!” A subtle gasp comes from you and you squeal moving it closer to yourself, you think for a moment before moving it towards me again. “You should keep it then! I already have you to keep me safe from bad luck.” My heart warms, I carefully pick you up onto my hip and take the clover. “You know, I think your kindness earned you a special St. Patty’s Day reward” I say to you. Your head tilts in wonder and you ask me what it is. “Well let’s go back inside to clean your hands first, and then I’m pretty sure I saw some special shamrock cupcakes in the fridge for you.” Your face lights up and you sway your legs excitedly. “Yay!! Best St. Patty’s Day ever!!”
