The Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny got creative this year... He pooped lollies (just like the new movie Anna is fascinated with at the moment, 'Hop'). He left a trail of lollies from the front door to the special presents table. I can't wait for the kids to see this in the morning :)

Nostalgia

I was going through all the kids old clothing, and I found myself fairly emotional. Every item of clothing I picked up triggered a memory. Beautiful memories. What I would do just to go back for a day and hold my babies again as newborns. Time has gone so quick, it's scary. This is the outfit I brought my two beautiful baby girls home in, you forget just how small they were.

Besties

Anna has some best friends at school. She will always say that her 'best friend is Dane but he doesn't go to my school'. But at school, her friends are Amelia and Eliza. I was looking at a picture of myself and Nikki, probably Anna's age. And I so want Anna to have that. We were sent out a list of every child's birthday and addresses, and I realised that I was the only single mother in both Anna and Amelie's class. I found myself to be nervous about the idea of trying to facilitate friendship over the next few years, sleep overs and birthday parties and the like. But despite my own hang ups, I guess I can still be the mum that does all that stuff; it's stupid of me to think that just because I'm single I can't do the 'real' mum stuff. But on the flip side, when I drop off Anna every morning, all the kids get so excited to see me, like its the coolest thing ever to get a wave from me. Maybe I'm that mum? It makes you realise that kids just don't care what your marital status is, they see the bright side in anyone and everything.

Matching

My god they are gorgeous.

Covered

I am constantly covered in children. It's like they're my clothing...

Experiences

I hope that I can give my beautiful girls everything. It's ambitious but I guess when you define 'everything' then it can be possible. We went to the Fairfield Fete, and that is part of giving them everything. It was a really lovely day. Anna had her first face painting, first fairy floss, we got some special 'treasures' from the trash and treasure market, and we went on a rocket ship (best not to talk about that experience though). Millie was happy observing. Today, I feel like a good mum. Special thank you to my mum, for helping me feel like I am a good mum. And to Lauren who is the worlds best aunty.

Beautiful

They are.

Milestones

The bottle fairy has come and Anna has 'donated' her beloved bottle to another little baby in 'Alaska'. Since then, she's not asked for her bottle once and she has also transitioned into undies at night time too! Very proud of her, no more bottles and nappies!

Remember

Something that I want to remember:
Anna's comfort is pulling her arm under her tshirt up through the neck to suck her thumb whilst the other hand is playing with her ear, and if someone else is in reach she will play with their ear instead.
Millie's comfort: having food... In each hand.
