My bunny boys

The past week since my Father's funeral has been tough.  Dylan has been sick and I have come down sick too.  Tristan has been cranky and not sleeping as much as I'd like him to.  So really just a pretty crappy time.  On Friday I decided I wouldn't let the opportunity pass me by and get a little comparison shot of Tristan.  I took a photo of Dylan during his very first Easter in 2013 wearing a lovely comfy onesie and his bunny ears beanie.  I absolutely adore that photo as he is the happiest lil bunny ever.  Tristan has been wearing the onesie too, but now his little toes are pushing at the ends of the feet of the suit, so I don't think we can get any more wear out of it.  Such a shame as I love the colour on him.  I tried to get him to smile, which he happily did, but as soon as the camera was in front of my face the smile disappeared!

Dylan - 2013

Tristan - 2016
 
Some days I can see the exact same expressions and look on Tristan's face as what Dylan had, but then he's just that little bit different.  I think Tristan's just a little bit more like me - god help him!!  Getting Tristan into that outfit and setting up the photo was just something to make me smile and forget about the sadness for just a little while.

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
