31/52

So good to be out of the house and out into the fresh air today.  We took Dylan for a walk at the park by the river this morning.  He loved seeing the ducks in the water, playing on the park equipment and just generally commenting on anything he saw! Look mummy, there's dog poo! Look mummy, there's a big boy on a bike! Look mummy, there's the water!  The conversations were never ending.  Eventually he got a bit tired and wanted to be carried.  The only way to encourage him to keep going was to tell him Daddy had snuck some slices of chocolate brownie into the bag and they were back in the car just waiting for him.  And that certainly got him moving!

Love his happy face and his little shadow in this shot!

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

Week 44 As Dylan's transition from babbling to talking gets better, I guess I also see the downside.  The demanding toddler can now tell me what he wants and I can't just pretend I don't know or can't give it to him.  Today's lunch didn't go down so well.  Not usually a fan of ham, and a lover of avocado, Dylan picked out the ham strips and gobbled them up only to leave the avo untouched.  Then came the "more ham" request, and the "more narny" (banana), and the "more cheese"!  I guess there are worse things he could be eating.  When he did finally go back to eating more of the sandwich there was facial expressions galore!!

Overall not a bad week here. We've had a few outings, been on some walks and a 4th birthday party.  Its been a mostly wet weekend, and the perfect opportunity for cuddles on the lounge with my boys, and a little me time.  I've got the best excuse for some quiet days at home.  Hubby bought me (or was instructed to buy me) the box set of the Offspring TV show on DVD.  I love it! I've gone back to the beginning to watch the early years and see the episodes I missed out on, and to refresh my memory on the ones I saw.  So looking forward to the new season starting in a few weeks! Tristan has been pretty good this past week.  Napping has been reasonable and night times are ok.  He had a few feeding strikes, but I knew he wouldn't starve himself, so I haven't been too worried.  This past week he hit 12 weeks old and I'm noticing his size 000 clothes getting a bit tighter.  I'm sure by this age Dylan was barely into 000!  Tristan has been smiling so much, and I
