Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful boy


After all the Christmas activities are over and done with I’ve now got a chance to catch up on some posts I’ve been meaning to add.  The most important would be my weeny boy’s 2nd birthday!  His birthday fell on the same day as our extended family Christmas catch up, so we had quick birthday presents in the morning, and then his little party the following day.  It turned out great as we all got to see the family, and Dylan thought his birthday just kept on going!

He absolutely loved opening his presents this year. Such a change to last year when turning 1 seemed to be a huge deal for us, but he didn’t really understand the concept of birthdays or presents or parties.  This year, he jabbers away about parties and most importantly about cake!  He’s started calling it “Happy cake”, and I guess that’s what it is.  He’s started to try to sing the “Happy Birthday” song, but it just comes out as “Happy Happy to you” which is kinda cute.

We decided against trying to invite more family members, or any of our friends with kids, or even the few friends Dylan has made through daycare or our Mothers group.  It’s just too hard this time of year to pin people down on a weekend.  But I think it turned out a good number, with not too many to overwhelm the birthday boy.
 
We decorated parts of the house, and set up and area outside to keep the foot traffic down (and mess!) from inside the house.  I planned to minimise the cooking on the day due to lack of prep time after the family Christmas catch up the day before.  I’m so glad I did!  There was still plenty to do, including decorate the birthday cake, but I felt so much more relaxed and actually got to enjoy the day. 
No idea why he wanted to wear his mickey mouse ears!

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...

We had to go do some grocery shopping one day this week.  I was wearing a new-ish dress and could not for the life of me work out which shoes to wear with it. So Dylan takes the opportunity to choose some from my wardrobe and model them around the bedroom for me!  Such a funny little man!  He even got them on the right feet!   A portrait of my son, once a week, every week in 2015 Shoes were fun for a minute or two... then back to his trains of course!   Joining in with Jodi and Project 52 .   Bel

Week 11 What can I say about this week??  Not much other than there has been a serious lack of sleep.  I can mostly blame this lack of shut eye on the weeny boy, but otherwise I only have myself to blame.  One night out with my girlfriends was the culprit on one of those occasions.  But it was such a fun night, no kiddies, no husbands, just a few hours of good girl gossiping and frivolity!  The next day, being a work day, no amount of concealer would hide the under eye bags. The only thing to do was dose up on coffee and get through the day.  It was good in theory, but after multiple coffees; more than I would normally drink, I was buzzing! I was still buzzing at about 3am the next morning... Not the way to get a good night's sleep. One piece of exciting news for the week was that I finally got my new digital SLR camera! Yippee!!  The bad news is... I don't know how to use it other than "Auto" mode which kinda defeats the purpose. Oh well... It's s...
