Jake just wanted to check if his hands are as big as mine yet 😍 . #wholesome #buildingattachments #attachment #attachmentbuilding #attachmentdisorder #attachement #adoption #adoptionbuiltus #love #adoptionawareness #therapeuticparenting #connectedparenting https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsWiYnsqOW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At forest school today (I was a parent volunteer, if you missed my previous post), one of Jake's little friends wasn't feeling it. He was really quiet and didn't want to do any of the activities. I chatted to him for a bit, and he explained that he had woken up very early and he was tired. He walked around with me and Jake for a bit, but still didn't want to join in, and eventually announced that he was too tired to walk, and sat down on a log. Jake went over and sat next to him, and asked "Are you sad? Do you want my Mummy to sit next to you?" I thought that was such a sweet thing! He thinks that sitting next to me makes people feel better! 🥰 Well, that's how I'm interpreting that anyway. I did sit with his friend for a while and he told me a very long story, that I struggled to follow, but he seemed to enjoy telling it, so that's the main thing! And Jake happily wandered off, leaving me to chat to his friend. I'm happy that he's secure enough in our attachment and the knowledge that I'm HIS Mummy, that he could offer my listening ear to his friend, and not feel threatened. . #attachment #attachmentbuilding #attachmentdisorder #attachmentparenting #buildingattachments #therapeuticparenting #connectedparenting #connection #parenting #adoption #wholesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQKpb-owX9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These two! 😍 Zoe raced in to snuggle Jake the second he woke up from his nap. 🥰 . #wholesome #attachment #siblingattachment #buildingattachments #attachement #attachmentparenting #siblingbond #siblinggoals #love #wecouldhavemissedthis #adoptionbuiltus #wearefamily #thisisus #livingourbestlives #lovemakesafamily #family #famille #familia #familie #wirsindfamilie #adoption #adoptionuk #adoptivesiblings #adoptivefamily #siblingsthroughadoption #siblingsbyadoption #siblingbesties #adoptionislove #adoptionafterbirth #adoptionafterabiologicalchild https://www.instagram.com/p/Co2YIkmsQRh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It doesn't show up very well in this picture, but if you look closely, you can see the heart of glow-in-the-dark stars that I made in my son's room several months ago. He's only just noticed it's a heart and is delighted all over again! He keeps thanking me for making him a heart of stars 🥰 . #wholesome #attachment #buildingattachments #attachement #attachmentparenting #attachmentdisorder #adoptiveparent #adoptivefamily #love #wecouldhavemissedthis #adoptionbuiltus #wearefamily #thisisus #livingourbestlives #livingmybestlife #happy #lovemakesafamily #family #famille #familia #familie #noussommesfamille #wirsindfamilie #adoption #adoptionuk #heart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn7kiB1MVWx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Little one keeps asking to measure his hands against mine every day, to see if he's grown. He really wants to be tall, but he reassured me earlier that he'll always love me, even when he's tall all the way up to the sky! ❤️ . #wholesome #parenting #attachment #buildingattachments #attachement #love #wecouldhavemissedthis #adoptionbuiltus #wearefamily #thisisus #livingourbestlives #lovemakesafamily #family #famille #familia #familie #liebemachtfamilie #wirsindfamilie #noussommesfamille #adoption #adoptionuk #adoptivesiblings #adoptivefamily #adoptionislove #adoptionafterbirth #adoptionafterabiologicalchild https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxY-XCsPJz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Zoe teaching Jake a dance routine she made up. Feet were stepped on, but there was a lot of laughter ❤️ . #wholesome #attachment #buildingattachments #attachement #siblingbond #siblinggoals #love #wecouldhavemissedthis #adoptionbuiltus #wearefamily #thisisus #livingourbestlives #lovemakesafamily #family #famille #familia #familie #liebemachtfamilie #wirsindfamilie #adoption #adoptionuk #adoptivesiblings #adoptivefamily #siblingsthroughadoption #siblingsbyadoption #siblingbesties #besties #adoptionislove #adoptionafterbirth #adoptionafterabiologicalchild https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxX3kNsPD4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These two are feeling a bit under the weather this morning. Not sure if it's the start of the 1,000,000th virus this school year, sleep deprivation from the howling winds last night, or a bit of both. They're both very snuggly and being adorable to each other though. It's heartwarming ❤️ . #wholesome #attachment #buildingattachments #attachement #siblingbond #siblinggoals #love #wecouldhavemissedthis #adoptionbuiltus #wearefamily #thisisus #livingourbestlives #lovemakesafamily #family #famille #familia #familie #liebemachtfamilie #wirsindfamilie #adoption #adoptionuk #adoptivesiblings #adoptivefamily #siblingsthroughadoption #siblingsbyadoption #siblingbesties #besties #adoptionislove #adoptionafterbirth #adoptionafterabiologicalchild https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHDp1mt8Bc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
