Week 17 Year 2
It happened to be the hottest day of the year and we had a great one! We went to our beach, had a swim in the sea, you flew a kite for the first time then we headed to the woods and played in the streams and came home and roasted marshmallows. We might have overdone it but it was worth it, it was the perfect day full of memory making…
Week 15 Year 2
After a couple of hours Forrest was ready for another nap so back in the wrap he went. It's another grey, gloomy, rainy day so we decided to be lazy and watch a movie, you had requested the secret life of pets. He woke up just after the movie finished and we wrapped some of your fathers day gifts that had dried & then you wanted to paint some more pictures for daddy. While you were doing this, you, Forrest, were busy talking to me and we had some great cuddles. You love to make sounds and you love when my face is super close to yours, it just makes you giggle…
Week 14 Year 2
It was a pretty good day we spent the morning in the garden creating and then went on a walk to some woods close by to visit the sand hills. Afterwards we hung out at home before heading back out to run some errands…
Week 13 Year 2
After running some errands, it was one of those lazy days at home creating and baking and if I wasn't trying to get Forrest to sleep I was trying to keep both of you happy. It was a day of trying to find the balance…
Week 12 Year 2
It was such a great day! Everything flowed so beautifully and we spent the morning with friends at Goodalls Strawberry Farm and you scooted the whole way and the rest of the day was spent reading and doing crafts. It was one of those days where at the end I felt so fulfilled…
Week 11 Year 2
Yesterday you turned four. I cannot quite believe it. Four years I have been a mumma, I still remember the first time we met as if it were yesterday. You came out into this world with bright red hair, your name was truly meant for you, you are our Phoenix, our little firebird. You are the greatest spiritual guide I’ve ever had, you inspire me to become the best version of myself and I feel so blessed that you chose us as your parents. Thank you for being you…
Week 10 Year 2
It was a really great day although we didn't get up to much. It was a day spent at home lounging around. Forrest held his first balloon, had his first big belly laugh and Nixie & Kevin made cupcakes. We had plans to head to the woods but making cupcakes ended up somehow taking up most of the day!…
Week 9 Year 2
You and I were jarring a bit, and you were doing lots of things you weren't supposed to do (it’s because you didn't get enough sleep, you stayed up way too late to be getting up so early, you always get like this when that’s the case!) and my patience felt a bit thin but luckily it wasn’t very long lived and you and I had a little do-over and all was well after that....well for a little bit!…
Week 8 Year 2
After nursing Forrest you and I went on our own little adventure while daddy got some special cuddles from Forrest. It felt absolutely magical walking hand in hand with you while we explored new territory. We even came across 4 deer who didn't run away from us entirely, they stayed within our eye sight so we followed them, we had to scramble through prickly gorse, hike through muddy bogs…
Week 7 Year 2
The main theme for the day was all about frogs, we had our first Operation Freedom where we released some of our froglets and had quite the adventure out in the woods that involved tantrums, lots of laughter & me getting absolutely stuck up to my knees in stinky silty mud and needed to be rescued!…
