Week 29 Year 2
From the moment you (Nixie) wake up you are still in full force all about dinosaurs and talking about carnivores and herbivores, talking about how birds don't have teeth and how the triceratops take care of it's babies and a million other things, you are absolutely fascinated by dinosaurs, it's all you're interested in talking about!…
Week 26 Year 2
And it is that time again for another entry for Artefact motherhood, a collaboration of artists & mothers from around the world..It was such an amazing day, I had been looking forward to this experience for such a long time! It was day 2 of our first camping trip as a family of four. Even though I barely got any sleep I woke up feeling so good, being out in the woods has a way of always making me feel better. And Nixie, you had been missing all of our camping adventures. It's something we have all missed…
Week 25 Year 2
It was a crazy long day! We headed to London so I could collect my passport & then followed by a trip to the Natural History Museum so that you could get your Dino fix and where I had one of the scariest moments of my life where I thought I had lost you! And on the way home we had car problems and spent a lot of time at service stations which made it so that we didn't get home until close to 1am!…
Week 24 Year 2
Once we had everything ready for our day out we all piled into our car. It was another heat wave day and a bank holiday weekend so as predicted we got stuck in traffic. We were on our way first to corfe castle and it should have taken an hour and a half but instead took over two hours. You were singing the yellow submarine by the Beatles over and over…
Week 23 Year 2
It wasn’t a very nice day out, very dark, wet and gloomy so we ended up having a relaxing day at home being creative and playing. You (Nixie) come up with the coolest things and I absolutely love hearing the thoughts you have, for instance one of the random thoughts you shared with me was how we should make blood juice for mosquitoes…
Week 22 Year 2
I've been so conscious of the passing of time again, I want to just savour, slow down and cherish this time in our lives. You are growing up so quickly and it feels so bittersweet. I've been getting these lumps in my throat and knots in my stomach when I look at you and your sister sometimes…
Week 21 Year 2
You ended up having so many great experiences!....but i think your favourite thing was building your bug hotel, you really seem to enjoy working with wood and loved using the different kinds of drills including the powered drill and getting your face painted. If you could have your face painted everyday you’d be the happiest little girl! You just get so relaxed and love the feeling of it all, it is so sweet, you always almost fall asleep…
Week 20 Year 2
After your morning Rugby class we headed to one of our favourite spots in the woods. It was so beautiful and so peaceful where we were, it was the perfect place to be during a heatwave. We had fun playing in the streams and playing with bubbles and then enjoyed the company of our sweet friends who came to join us. Zoryan had Borsch and you had the sweetest expression on your face and looked so left out like you were thinking but what about me?!?! Nixie had your back though and asked Elina if you could have some too, I love how she’s always looking out for you and thinking about you and your needs, your relationship and connection is really blossoming!!…
Week 19 Year 2
Wow. What an incredible day we had! We decided to have a day trip to the Isle of Wight and it was a day full of the most beautiful human moments. There's nothing better than experiencing a place for the first time and we had such an incredible little hike to Freshwater Bay where we spent hours exploring the rock pools before it was time to head back to catch the ferry back home…
Week 18 Year 2
It was one of those days that was spent mostly indoors cleaning and tidying with a little bit of creativity thrown in here and there along with a gorgeous evening walk by the sea…
