Glass half full

Quick... while Play School is on! Some of the things that have made me smile in the past week or so...

* BigMan's feet in his Daddy's work boots.

 

*Finding one of BigMan's trucks in his Tupperware draw when I go to make his lunch.

* Harold joining us at meal times.

* This conversation: BigMan: "STOP! There's one way to God!" Mummy: "That's right. There's one way to God through Jesus." BigMan: "Jesus rocks the world!" Can you guess who we've been listening to?

* Using my mum's Kenwood mixer to make yummy food for my family and friends.

*This conversation: "Time to get the cookies out of the oven." "Num Num! I'm a cookie monster. Cookie monster, Mummy! I need a cookie please!"

* I apologise to my friend Mummy McTavish for one of BigMan's temper-tantrums. He replies to me on her behalf, "That's ok. Don't worry."

* BigMan waking up after his nap on 'the wrong side of the bed' and subsequently trying to hide underneath it. I think it was just his attempt to say in the airconditioned comfort for a few more minutes...

 

* Seeing LittleLady develop a tast for the finer things in life...

* Going to clear BigMan's table after lunch and finding that someone's still hungry.

 

*BigMan playing with his trike and insisting on wearing his helmet.

* Seeing Little Lady making friends of her own... and her gorgeous play-buddy is only days younger than her!

*The adorable way LittleLady has started scrunching up her nose when she's concentrating hard or starting to get frustrated.

*Watching LittleLady play with the beautiful baby in the mirror.

*Seeing LittleLady's head on her Daddy's shoulder as he takes her back to bed after her 'Dream Feed'.

*Watching LittleLady see her brother's trucks, diggers, Woof and make a bee-line straight for them! She's gaining some speed! And she's started getting up on all four nows, so hopefully this comando-crawl phase will be over sooner rather than later - it's making the front of all her pretty clothes very dirty!

 *This...

So above, you'll see my 'The Glass is Half Full' tribute (bucking the family trend here!). My little 'Glass Half Empty' soapbox: BigMan's been sick... again. We're all tired. I miss my mum, my sister and my best friend. Thank goodness I have so much to make me smile! Thank goodness for music like this...
